Wow - that sounds amazing, Linsey44!   To give my hubby his due, he always does a huge cooked breakfast on Saturdays.  It's his speciality and he could just about do it with his eyes shut.   Me?  I can't do poached eggs!

Ah if only I'd been blessed with a chef for a hubby, but NAE!  ;D His idea of cooking is 8 -10 mins in a microwave.

It's a good job I like cooking, as hubby's culinary efforts start and end with fish-finger butties (although, they are lovely!).

I like both - during the week it's a bit of a chore if I'm honest but I enjoy it at the weekend when there is more time to play.  Hubby helps as well and between us we can whip up some amazing feasts - trouble is that they are usually a splash of this, a pinch of that and never quite manage to replicate them ;)

I think there's a lot to be said for that, Greyhoundgal.  My Mum used to do something similar.  She called them her "concoctions".  She was famous (well, among the family!) for them!

I like both although sometimes it's nice when I haven't got to do the cooking and we eat out.
That doesn't happen very much  :(

I'm with Taz!

DH has concocted a chicken curry for this evening - can you smell it ?

Haha! There's nothing like a glass of wine when you're cooking - it doesn't make it seem too bad. I usually listen to CDs very loudly too - except my husband comes and turns down the player and asks if I'm going deaf!

It's amazing how much better you can cook when you have a glass of wine  ::)

Just wish I could have done that when I was cooking for a living... ;D

Don't know what my bosses would have thought though.
When I first started in kitchens chefs got a beer allowance.....supposedly to help combat the very high temperatures. Very politically incorrect these days and does not help with thirst at all but made the kitchens a very happy place to work   ;)
