ditchman Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Thoughti would do a little roast chicky with a couple of chicky thighs from the freezer and finish up half a pkt of paxo....gravy done with the sprout juice and juices from the chicky.... boiled the spruts (as i find steaming is too hot and bleaches the vedgetables) all done without the aid of a hairdryer......this is how we cooked in the old days.... cant be doing with all these modern bloody contraptions...as it is my kitchen looks like a full skip in silicon valley "now...where's that sofa gone ?"

I think any of us could ask the same question, no one knows what's round the corner. I am a lifelong smoker and 74 but I bought one, you can have mine if I pop my clogs before you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I can't really fault anything on the plate , I have took on board about steaming the veg bleaches them and Simons sprouts do look nice and Green , I will try it but the amount of time my veg are steaming seem to be about right , then again if you don't try then you won't know if they are better or not . P S Do you have a late dinner , or a early tea ?, I can't seem to get hungry enough to have my main meal much before 7.15 / 7.45pm and I think that was one of the reasons I left half my Xmas dinner , late afternoon was far to early for me .

JohnfromUK Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Looks very nice. Chicken and beef are my favourites. I'm another Paxo fan as well. I add a little butter to the mix when making mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
