harrycatcat1 Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 To be honest I enjoy preparing vegetables for our dinner, am I sad? Swede and potatoes in the bottom of the pressure cooker to mash together. Carrots and Brussels in the top. I have put potatoes and parsnips in a pan on top of the multifuel burner to soften them before roasting. This lot should last us three days 😋 Meant to say these vegetables were bought before Christmas, they have saved well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Yes you are sad, prepping veggies when you could be decking, and making that devilish crud called gravy. P.S. Happy new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 There is something satisfying about putting food on the table. I like you like preparing a meal. When I used to do a lot of sea fishing there was nothing more pleasing than preparing the catch. Whiting, pouting, dogfish, gurnard, rockling, if it was big enough I ate it. I can remember asking canteen staff in work can I have this and that on the same plate, and her reply was as long as you enjoy it why not. I used to have some weird concoctions. At home I open the fridge / freezer door and turn whatever is there into a meal. You can make some really tasty stuff in a wok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not wronged me, i just hate to see good food swimming in gravy, sauce etc. if i buy a decent steak i dont cover it in gravy etc. in my eyes you are just disgusing the taste of the food. And one thing i wont touch is ketchup, you see mothers covering there childs food in that disgusting stuff, just to get them to eat there chicken nuggets, bet they dont know what chicken tastes like. But Ditchy, each to there own, as long as you enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ditchy, each to there own, as long as you enjoy it just to hack you off..... when i do an aged near black rump steak......i do it 3 and 3.....then out of the pan to rest......then a dash of red wine in the pan and a good spoonful of sugar ..let it boil and caramerlise....swish it about and chuck what is left (about 2 tablespoons) over the steak............... serve with chips ..mushrooms....dijon mustard ..fried oinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
