| 1163987 | 2010-12-22 06:55:00 | With Christmas coming up, I just have a curious question . I know that Christmas food might be comprehensive but how are Ordinary Joe and Jane's food on a typical day? I am just curious b/c I have flatted with people who never opened a oven door and one even caught the frypan on fire . While I was studying, I boarded for one year; the European Kiwi family with a family of 3 very young children also had very simple meals . It was always stirfry vegetables with grilled chicken or pan fried steaks or chops . Might of been the occasional spaghetti bouganise (sp) it could of been their distant interest to "cooking" but they always had ice cream :D with maybe a cone or canned fruit . There were no quiches, no casseroles . When they had the dinner meat they had instant gravy (like Maggi sachets) . Always Friday Fish and Chips thou :D And how is lunch? To some it might just mean cream buns after going to the Saturday supermarket or just a ham sandwich . To me cafe meals appears to be quite simple but I have an interest in cooking and I do follow recipes, don't cook often enough to know them off by heart or to make modifications when yuo are still living at home . . . . . Thanks :) |

| 1163988 | 2010-12-22 07:11:00 | This year we're just having a turkey roast with salad and fresh veg from the garden with a salad ... trifle (with sherry of course) and brandy snaps. Only 4 of us this year compared to the 26 we had the previous two years ... SWMBO & myself will have Champers with strawberry's for breakfast ... then I'll crack a Speights around 11am and disappear into the garden to dig the spuds and other vegies ... returning to the kitchen briefly to provide SWMBO with the necessities for lunch preparation whilst I crack another speights and go clean the gardening tools ... returning for additional refreshments as required and cleaning said garden instruments until lunch is almost ready. I then return to the kitchen to assess the progress and sharpen the carving knife in preparation for my MANLY duty ... :D |

| 1163991 | 2010-12-22 08:38:00 | we have started a tradition of having pancakes for breaky, with the kids choosing the topping, could be fruit, or bacon, or lemon juice, sugar / butter, or icecream depending on the day, with coffee. its a nice slow morning for us usually, no rush to be anywhere :) BBq lunch at one friends and BBq tea with family, we keep it simple now. less stress. :) beetle |

| 1163994 | 2010-12-22 19:02:00 | I have whatever I feel like at the time, mostly cereal for brekkie, sandwiches for lunch and whatever I cook us for tea which starts with foraging in the garden for veg first. Pulled a huge cabbage yesterday now to decide what to make with it | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1163995 | 2010-12-22 19:13:00 | how are Ordinary Joe and Jane's food on a typical day? We have a bit of an international menu. Might be Spaghetti bolognese, Lasagna, ravioli, made from scratch. might be stirfries, fried rice type things. Might be Creole Lamb, I make that relatively often. Gulyas, Porkolt - types of stews and soups for the mystified. Once in a while I'll do a roast. Too hot last night so I used up the last of the wee ham and made ham steaks and salad. Lunch? If home, whatevers in the fridge, might make something like fishcakes. Work lunch tends to be a leftover from the freezer occasionally or a sandwich and some fruit and nibbles. I try to make the sandwiches resemble fancy cafe types otherwise it gets boring. Might have a pie at home now and then - but mostly home made. Xmas - non-event with us, might have a BBQ just because. A wood smoked BBQ of course, none of this outdoor oven stuff. |

| 1163996 | 2010-12-22 20:07:00 | Meh. No special meals for me during the break, with the one difference of a bit more booze. Breakfast: Meusli and coffee Lunch: Bread and whatever, or a soup... if I bother with lunch at all Dinner: Beans / Curry / Lasagna / whatever, with a side of mixed veg from the freezer. If I want to treat myself, then off to the Asian Takeaway. Seems I'm working next week, so I'm only getting a 4 day break... not really enough time to slip into really bad eating habits. |
