Today, my lodger is arriving, and when he heard I would be cooking, he asked me to book somewhere for lunch . ............He also reckons he's a pretty good cook - what good news lol.

:rotfl:Now you do know just how a couple of statements like that are likely to be interpreted on the Old Style sub-forum here do you?:D:rotfl:

That's right - people tend to like to go in for "challenges" on here and it sounds like you've just "thrown down the gauntlet".:rotfl:

Go on then - howzabout telling us, say, examples of 10 different meals you figure tend to emerge pretty inedible from your kitchen if you're in charge?

There's bound to be someone on here that will soon give you a few pointers on "how to" about them:). Well it's either that - or point you in the direction of that company "Hello Fresh" that deliver the already-measured out ingredients and recipes with them for meals to peoples homes (and Waitrose seem to have started up a similar idea). Both those companies do some distinctly tasty looking meals....but they aren't cheap...if that's a consideration. For reference for the HelloFresh firm:

https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/recipe-archive/browse


Come on then - tell us one example of what you can manage to ruin when you try to cook it to start with.....

EDIT; I found the "Waitrose meals delivered" - and yep...looking good. But HelloFresh has a load more choice by the look of it/cheaper/easier. Will try not to feel envious if you're within range of Waitrose deliveries.....LOL.

good food so far today
mid morning protein boost +fatty acids etc, sardines loaded onto small slice of toast. Loved it :cool:

lunch: leek quiche from freezer (last piece) nice with steamed cabbage and carrots. Strip of very dark chocolate

yukky day today and I have candles burning plus electric heating on, I would be inclined to watch a film but would really rather get on with my audible detective book plus easy knitting

As per my usual roam around rightmove, I have today seen several very suitable and nice homes in exeter, good for buses, shops etc but not at all good for `leave the house with a bike` cycling. Too many busy roads around. Nice to see though

Last meal: thick lentil soup with a broken up piece of ciabatta in bottom of the bowl, ultimate comfort and filling food for me and all made and ready

Thanks caronc, nice sardine link and I am hoping everyone else is having at least a calm day. Seeing my 40+ adult children yesterday, so looking forward to retirement and so stressed with work, made me very grateful to be in my position

My parents have helped me so much since OH has gone, and I want to ensure they both have the best quality of life each, that they can enjoy. Don't know how long I still have to enjoy them, after all, and want to give them they help and support they've selflessly given me.

Your love and help will mean so much to them xx

I've never had sardines or pilchard! I like tinned salmon usually skinless and boneless, and Mackrel, I've had anchovies in tapas dishes, not sure I'd buy them. Same with tuna I can eat it but wouldn't buy.
Had ham salad on seeded again for lunch and an apple rice.
Dgson is here so when I cooked his bacon and sausages, I cooked 2 pigs in blankets big sized, for with our roast beef for tea, I got carrots from work have added peas, there will be a Yorkshire ,and pots.
Dgson will have profiteroles and I'll have last of ginger cake!

I changed my mind. Didn't fancy what I'd planned.

Instead I had a 240g portion of the chilli I'd made, served with 25g of tortilla crisps (Xmas packet). My god that was tasty. Final chilli portion had to be put in the freezer though as tomorrow I'll have to eat the defrosted nut roast, the spuds and the swede etc.

Sounds nice and warming . It's cold here and sleeting/snowing - the forecast said rain
