I make a class chilli con carne if I do say so myself. That's a weekend job though as I let it simmer for like 4 hours. Mrs and I generally share the cooking during the week though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I cook basically everything. Lucky if I get cooked for once a month. Basically the day I come home from work, I might not cook that day. Thats it. She bakes though which I dont do. That said, I love cooking so its bot a complaint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I enjoy it - just wish I had more time for it. Mrs Maths can't cook at all. In 14 years together all she has ever made me is cheese on toast / toasted cheese / roasted cheese (delete as appropriate) and on one of those occasions she gave me the shits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a pizza in the oven for the grandchildren, hardly counts as cooking. I quite enjoy cooking although its nothing too fancy. Sausage rolls, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I love cooking breakfasts. A plateful with haggis, black pudding, quality sausage, back bacon, tattie scone and two poached eggs. Apart from the eggs it's best to ovenbake everything - much less greasy that way. A breakfast like that will keep you going all day and do away with any need for lunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A breakfast like that will keep you going all day and do away with any need for lunch. Hash browns, and I'm assuming you've got both sausages? Add a nice cafetiere of coffee and that's you set. Love a breakfast. And fajitas. Don't bother with spice mixes, just make my own - mainly cajun, some paprika, cayenne pepper to taste, salt, black pepper, and a touch of turmeric. No idea on measurements as it's mainly cajun, and the only thing that really matters is not putting too much cayenne in. Chipotle mayo, rice, refried beans and grated cheese completes it. I fucking love fajitas. I'm always happy to cook, but usually she does - as it means I do the dishes. Luckily she's good at cooking and doesn't make as much of a mess of the kitchen as I do when I'm cooking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I really enjoy it. I like to (sometimes loosely) follow a recipe for making something for the first time, and then just pissing about with other spices and ingredients after that. I’m still wanting to master the Thai curry paste, as the ones you get out the jar are far nicer to the few attempts I’ve had at making it from scratch.She’s really good at breakfast things and makes cracking Mexican stuff like nachos, tacos and enchiladas etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently tarted making a batch of meals every Sunday for my lunches for work every day recently after discovering I'd spent over £600 in a year buying them every day from the shops. f**k that. Can now make a whole weeks lunch for about a £5, what I'd normally spend on a single lunch before. You only had lunch 3 days a week? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I can make decent mince n tatties, chicken, mushroom & spring onion fried rice, stir fry, chow mein, stews, cottage pie, beef tacos. The missus is excellent at Roast beef/chicken and all the trimmings, steak pie etc. She seems to get the timings all spot on, I seem to do better when it's all in the one cooking receptacle Edited July 9, 2019 by Silverton End 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 There is a thread for scran already where I have probably aired this opinion more than once, but I have a deep resentment of the "I dont give a f**k I only eat to live" types. Learn to cook you lazy hoor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I enjoy and do all the cooking whereas she struggles with making toast. On the other hand, she has OCD with regards to tidying and cleanliness so the system works works pretty well in my house. I cook, she cleans.

throbber Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I like cooking, I originally got into cooking roasts when younger as I saw a Yorkshire pudding recipe on tv that I wanted to make myself and then after not too long I was making the entire Sunday roast myself.Nowadays I offer to cook nice dishes so I can get alone time in the kitchen to drink excessively, there’s nothing I enjoy more than my own time in the kitchen though when I can sneak a game on my lap top and down glass after glass of 19 crimes without getting any hassle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 4 minutes ago, Estragon IS NOT a fud said: Yes, that's about how long it takes if you're finely chopping a few onions, peppers, carrots and some garlic etc. A few hundred of each maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it's not surprising, I'm sure there are loads of other things you're absolutely pish at. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Like throbber, cooking for me was a good excuse to get hammered in peace. Strangely, like Bairnardo, my missus really just makes cakes but otherwise dodges cooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
