Here's my latest . . . I spent nearly six hours yesterday making a special dinner for my missus . . .

Good job . You motivated me when I read this this morning .

Have made my beloved spaghetti and meatballs for tea . . . . . simple, uncomplicated but she likes that sort of thing .

All from scratch . . . nothing from a jar . Meatballs simmering in sauce as we speak .

Not a complete success . . . . . SWMBO not a fan of me getting on the turps . . . . . kindof kills my creativity coz I find it easier to cook after 2/3 bottle of Aussie red .

Two mistakes . . . . put too much red wine in the sauce . . . . . don't usually but felt like experimenting . . . . . and pureed the whole tomatoes in a blender instead of mashing with a potato masher . . . . have lost a lot of the textural thing .

Will stick with what I know works next time . . . . and pick up a 40oz of Jack on the way home!:thumbs:

Hope she likes it . . . taken me hours and I don't feel like Fish and Chips . . . . 		allblack (6574)
572433 2007-07-27 14:34:00 not one of the worst, but after a night of drinking, a mate and i decided to make a feed. So we grab a big pot and threw in some soup mix and beef and potatoes and all these vegetables. It smelt great too as we stirred it carefully so we wouldnt burn the bottom of the pot.

Then we filled up our plates and ate away falling asleep where we ate. The potatoes didnt cook well though. So the next day i went and had a look. We hadnt even turned the element on!That's about the funniest yet! :lol: Excellent! 		Greg (193)
572434 2007-07-28 07:45:00 Myself and a Scottish Mate were sailing on the Solway Firth, and ended up for the evening at the Isle of Whithorn - Great little pub full of Trawlermen and holiday makers - we had a fair too much of the local brew - I ended up singing Waltzing Matida accompanied with a very nice and very friendly Geordie lass - her husband and his mates were not amused but fortunately the trawlerman identified with the yachties when the stoush started, or else I would probably still bear the scars today.
After leaving the pub we made our way back to our zodiac, my scottish mate, (an RAF Squadron Leader) was so worse for wear he couldn't walk, and he ended up lying in the bottom of the zodiac. We had moored some 400 metres offshore, and in our hurry to get to the pub, hadn't thought to turn on the riding lights. It was a bloody dark night, and there was a metre high swell running, and I spent about half an hour rowing round in a small zodiac looking for our yacht. It never occurred to me that we could have been tipped over by the swell, which while only a metre high was reasonably steep because Whithorn Bay is relatively shallow.
Eventually when I found it, the next problem was how to get my mate aboard, there was no way I could lift 90 Kg of drunken scot up about 75 cms let alone get him over the lifelines.
Problem solved by dropping the lifelines, a bowline round his chest and dragging on board with the genoa winch, He was too heavy to get below, so he spent the night on the cockpit sole covered with sails to ensure he didn't die of exposure. He was in a very rough state when he came round the next morning - on top of the hangover, he was a mass of bruises and abrasions from being dragged on board. 		KenESmith (6287)
