"pop a few boiled potatoes on as well though bulk it up with some carbs I think she's gonna love it that you made such an effort " Am I best off getting tuna in sunflower oil or brine? Will it all fall apart when I put it in the grill? How many cans for a decent feed? What are carbs? | |||

As for carbs, it stands for carbohydrates, as in the likes of potato, pasta, rice etc... Sorry, I did not know you know very little about food and their preparation. | |||

"fresh tuna, not tinned!!! For dessert get some tropical fruit-pinapple,mango etc and make a salad" Salad? With pineapple? Are you sure? Salad has lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sweetcorn in it. Mangos indeed! | |||

"Salad? With pineapple? Are you sure? Salad has lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sweetcorn in it. Mangos indeed! " . Ever heard of FRUIT salad? Are you pretending you know nothing about food, or you are really as innocent as you make out to be? | |||

"I thought grilling fish, making a sauce with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and parsley, and making a salad and dress it in oil and vinegar is simple! " You've just listed four tasks. It sounds absolutely delicious, but if I make beans on toast, one burns whilst the other is cooking. Four tasks. Oh my days! | |||

"Oh now your just making fun of me. Tuna comes in cans, like mackeral and sardines. Can you buy potatoes that are already peeled etc. How long do I boil them for? All top tips gratefully received " Salmon? Go to a supermarket, ask for two pieces of salmon on the fish counter, they put it in a bag with some parsley butter, they seal it, you put it in the oven and 20 minutes later it is cooked. Fresh salad, with cherry tomatoes and new potatoes with their skins washed and boiled for 20 minutes. | |||

"How do you feed yourself when your wife is away?" Some men dont get taught to cook by their parents - my husband had no idea what to do with the big white thing in the kitchen when he moved in with me!!! He honestly thought I wanted beans on toast or deep fried chicken nuggets for a "nice" meal Now (aften me making him and the oldest stand and take notes while I cooked) he can cook as well as me. Neither of us are chef standard but good quality food none the less. When I was working late or on holiday Steven used to eat ready meals, take out or go to his mums. Personally I dont think it matters whether its sons or daughters we have I believe we as parents have a duty to get them ready for adult life which includes cooking, diy, budgeting and housework not just the fun things.

"if you have a george foreman grill i have something superb... get some chicken fillets...... cut it open and spead some tomato paste in it.... wrap it up in some panchetta..... put it under the foreman for 7-8 minutes... just do a salad with it... brilliant summer meal......." . That sounds rather yum! | |||

"Agree with Shona about staying at home instead of going out! Without sounding too big headed, I consider myself a good cook, and have a lovely kitchen and catering equipment at home that I enjoy using a lot. I cannot justify being charged huge sums of money for something I can do equally well at home if not better for much less. " Ohh Im not a great cook but a nice roast chicken or a bit steak isnt hard to cook. Well not to me anyway When Steven took me out I honestly sat there thinking I could have made a nice meal for what the starters cost!! I know that makes me cheap, but I have spent years feeding a family of 4 on a budget, and cannot see why Steven should pay a small fortune just cos we want a nice meal without the kids. Now we compromise - if we want to go out without the girls we have a pub lunch. Its not to dear and satisfies his pickyness Shona x x x | |||

And I consider those who boost about how nice and convenient M&S food is as show offs and having more money than sense! MEOW! Why pay over 20 GBP for a steak with a fancy sauce when the best rib eye cost me a fiver in the best butcher in town, and I can make a superb Diane sauce with mushrooms, garlic, double cream, and parsley, and a good glug of brandy for nearly next to nothing???!!! | |||

" What butchers are you using hun cos I cant even get a couple chichen breasts for a fiver at my butcher - mind you the butchers I use is good quality and I dont mind paying more for good quality food. Some eat to live, some live to eat I am the latter And whats all this sauce with steak?? If I did that to Stevens steak he would kill me. He likes his steak well done (some say thats wrong but its how he likes it) with thick chips peas and carrots, no sauce no salt or pepper no nothing just how it comes. Makes it easier for me cos I dont eat much red meat and never steak so I dont have to make sauces or worry about the meat once I throw it in the oven. Then I can spent time making me pretty and getting things ready for after the meal. Shona x x x | |||

"I am with lickmeover, I hate cooking......and Mr R is exactly like the OP......hopeless as even beans on toast !!" When I first lived alone I NEVER cooked at all even tho I was training to become a chef!! I ate out the local greasy spoon and ordered take out, my reasoning was I spent all day cooking at college why shouldnt I put my feet up at home. Well that worked til I realised I had no money left to go out with mates I fell pregnant with my oldest daughter and realised I didnt want her getting my food problems so I decided no matter how much I hated cooking I was going to make sure she eat a varied diet. When my girls were old enough to stand on a chair in the kitchen I taught them to make fairy cakes and scones (theirs are better than mine!!) now my eldest is 12 she is learning how to plan a weeks menu for us all, helps me order the online tins and sauces (Im to lazy to make them from scratch) goes with us to the fruit and veg shop, altho she (like me) hates the smell of the butchers and fishmongers she does go with me and knows the difference between the good stuff and how much is needed to feed us all for a week. Anyway the point I was going to make was even tho I hated cooking to begin with I now enjoy mucking about in the kitchen, watching my girls learn new things makes it better than just shutting myself in there and making the tea and hating every second of it.
