I confess...My grown Grandaughter when she visits aboard, refers to the 'ping' of the Microwave as Grandad's dinner bell...

Dear Gods man you only need one burner for a wok!

I've tried Red, but the Fates rule otherwise. My late wife used to get positively nervous if I even went anywhere near the kitchen, she used to watch me like a Hawk. I tried to help once and put a fresh Chicken in the oven, everything thing was fine until there was an awful smell of burning plastic...Strange that the Butcher sticks a plastic bag up the Chooks stern tube with all the jubbly bits stowed in it...I was banished from the kitchen after that. Never had much luck with Chickens me...

I'll get you cooking if you want to learn. Simple man food is so very easy. Any idiot can make a pasty.

A microwave oven in welsh they speak around here is popty ping.

Truthfully most of your mistakes wicca are lack of experience, and you wouldnt repeat. Cooking isnt that hard really.

Cooking without a microwave is easy
Just mix it up slapp it in oven (preferably on the correct gas mark) and wait, which usually involves runnin. Back AMD.forth every 5 minutes to check it ain't burned

" Cooking isnt that hard really. " Problem with me Xylaria is food is just fuel to me..I can't get enthusiastic about it. Basically I'm a moron by foodie standards, I almost starved in France until I found a MacD's..All that stuff awash in wine and dodgy sauces they dish up and cheeses that should have health warnings attached..
I do try though occasionally..then I lose interest and open a Rat pack..

I don't really like cooking. Its a means to an ends. Its a way of getting good food cheap. I really hate processed food full of salt and sugar and screwy fats. I cook because it saves me a fortune and it is food I trust. My mum that lives on her own and used to cook now gets ready meals. I understand why people dont cook. But it really is a skill that protects health and protects against poverty.

I was always rather fortunate. In that we never bought a microwave until I was in my late teens. And everything.was oven cooked so I learned pretty early on. The only.thin I haven't.mastered is stews and.casseroles (our mother's put me off). But pretty much anything.else. cakes. Jams pastries bread joints et I'm ok at
Besides its fun

Me neither, even though I'm told the scrambled eggs are not to be equalled; I'll stick to listening to the wireless while I cook a proper meal and enjoy both the cooking and the eating of it

Nothing beats slow cooked scrambled eggs imo, though might be due to the butter

I hate microwaves there ok for reheating stuff
But I won't use em for cooking. Chicken in Microwave tastes like rubber yak yak

My recipe is soooo much better than that - I promise, try mine and you will spit that out

 

[Tengu]

Yes! And your Sweet n sour too!

 

[British Red]

I, unlike wicca, like to cook. Even better when people ask for more

I'm going to get back into making proper suet puddings - mince and onion for preference. You can't buy proper peasant food any more.

Every time I make the Christmas Puddings, I vow to make more savoury puddings

Food isn't just fuel is it?
