    Loving your style Len!

    No, I didn't tip it over his head, but when I dropped him off earlier in the day, I'd said not to get too drunk as it was a 'special meal'. What I meant by that was that

    a) he didn't have the decency to spend any time with me, so I guess it was a bit of a guilt trip for him to say it wa a 'special meal'' (whoops, sorry, guilty as charged,guilt trip police!!)

    and

    b) I'd paid a bloody fortune for the organic beef especially to eat for Easter.


    But when I put braising steak, loads of veg. roast potatoes, dumplings in front of him, he said 'I thought this was supposed to be a special meal', so I told him unless he had a cooking contribution to make at some point (which he never does) he should be appreciative as all my cooking is special. Apparently 'some of it is and some of it isn't' :rolleyes: :mad:

    Have to say the meat was really gorgeous, it was like a really good quality expensive piece of sirloin rather than braising steak.

    He tried the same line for a pudding and I told him he could have an easter egg as I didn't see the point in buying extra ingredients when there was plenty of chocolate in the house. He asked why it wasn't chocolate cake or 'something that took a bit of effort' as it was a 'special meal' and I told him it was chocolate or nothing.

    He didn't seem to have any problems then whoomphing down a whole easter egg plus contents:rolleyes:
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

  • Morning peeps, just made my morning with all these comments len-
    Keren-i'm with you on the guilt police as well. I am a master at it but he bloomin well deserves it so i don't feel really guilty. Fancy turning nose up at scrummy meal like that.

    Oh keren, he sounds like a lucky fella. I have to say that your food always sounds divs but surely it was the drink talking. I'm what I consider to be something of a typical man when it comes to cooking, football, household chores etc (but Im not as bad as I useed to be) but I am sure it is just the drink talking. I say many things to OH and I am just taking the p!ss; guess I am just immature. But i know there is a line I shouldnt cross and I would always apologise.

    He wasn't particularly drunk so it was him. He is very Kevin and Perry like but as he is going to be 50 in October, you'd think he'd have grown up!!!

    Oh well, I'll do him chilli tonight. That's his favourite, always keeps him quiet.

    Oh dear, I've just dropped chocolate spread on my top off my toast. I'm such a mucky pup.
