Im gona confess i hardly cook nowadays, cant be doing with the ' look at the mess you made' so i now and again call at M&S and get them £110 meal deals........nice but pricey.

However i recently ventured into Aldi and can confirm the beef stew with dumplings and or the chicken chow mein and or the barbecue ribs are absolutely gorgeous.......and cheap as fuck in comparison.

In terms of the ribs they were boneless and come with the sauce you add for the last 5 and boy they were nice.

i have and always will love t bone steak.........here is my top tip for a quick t bone , im talking form the butchers big plate size.

flatten steak and rub in the following
spoon full of butter ( not marg) and 1 spoons of oxo or even granules works too
grill for 10
and repeat on the other

fuckin necta and i eat it like a saxon..........if anyone comes near me i growl too

Jesus christ. You basically live on illuminati food. No wonder your brain is so addled.

Who has time to cook nowadays? Can only think of Leo and Claret but they are about 106 years old.

All the time in the world mate. Do what I want, when I want. Here, listen......................wake up regularly to go for a piss at the time I used to get up when I was working...it's fucking great being able to say fuck that for a game of sojurs and slip back under the duvet.

PS.....the wife's far better at cooking than me so I accept that the kitchen belongs to her.

Oi you, you can leave me out of anything to do with cooking mate, about 5 years ago I thought I'd treat the wife to a slap up home cooked meal, it was our 50th wedding anniversary weekend and we'd took the family out on the Saturday evening to a posh (expensive) restaurant to celebrate the occasion, so on the Sunday I asked if she fancied roast beef for lunch and if so I'd cook it - I'd seen her cook the roast for a lifetime and thought how easy is that - I got everything prepared and off I went, it was then that I realised that I hadn't taken much, if any, real notice of what she actually did to finish up creating a perfect meal, after what seemed like an eternity everything appeared to be cooked, so I laid the table, poured the wine, white for the missus and a glass of red for me, brought the food to the table and we sat down to enjoy my first ever attempt at cooking - it was a fucking disaster! the beef turned out to be inedible, apparently I hadn't stuck a fork in the potatoes to see if they were cooked? I was also told that I hadn't fluffed them? before putting them in the roasting dish, again, I didn't know that I was supposed to make 4 small cuts in the tops of the sprouts? I'd burnt the beans (she'd never seen burnt beans before she said) and the gravy was that thick that it wouldn't pour from the gravy boat.

We just sat there looking at each other for a few seconds - like a romantic scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's - before she said, darling, I do love you, and I know you tried your best but this is fucking terrible, so please don't ever offer to cook for me again will you, maybe that's why our marriage has lasted this long, she does all the cooking - we then went to the pub for lunch.

true story.

Was supposed to have haddock and chips tonight but....................the wife is in her domain making wee sausage rolls (the first batch is just out of the oven) which are abso delish dahlings. Now, being the astute fella I can be at times and knowing full well I would never be able to resist said munchables and would never have enough room for my dinner on top.....I have delayed the fish & chips till tomorrow evening and I shall spend this afternoon pigging out on her home made sausage rolls.....some drizzled with tomato ketchup......kerching or what.......

Been out all afternoon with the grandkids looking for holly, mistletoe and all that like nonsense, so what better to come home to than a bowl of homemade Minestrone, slathered with Parmesan.

Tonight I'm having faggots courtesy of Mr. Brains and French fries courtesy of Tesco.

I might add some baked beans but I'll leave that decision for later.

Doesn't happen very often but today I had lunch which consisted of....southern fried chicken with salad (cherry toms, lettuce, cucumber, spring onions) & coleslaw with a couple of buttered slices of ciabatta bread. Tasty as fuck.

Just catching up with this thread.

Did you have baked beans in the end?

I decided that the gravy included with the faggots was thick enough to count as both a sauce and a valid part of the meal in its own right so I decided to save the baked beans for another meal.

I believe they were used in the classic pork sausage, chips and beans meal in the end but unfortunately I can't be 100% about that.

That's good to know....(were the faggots tasty enough?) as I stuck a box of 6 in with last weeks shop at Tescos and will no doubt have them sometime next week....probably add garden peas to the meal.
