450495	2006-04-30 02:45:00	we buy an OX kidney and cut it up and add to the butcher's S & K. We find the sheeps kidney on it's own lacking in flavour.Ewwww... go Offal Man. Mind you, if some people are eating it at least it helps keep that sort of crud out of the dog food!	Greg (193)

Thick French-Roast, fresh ground coffee with whipping cream for flavor Home-made Creampuffs with French vanilla cream filling and chocolate drizzled glace. Afterwards, a nice glass of Glenlivet single-malted Scotch Whiskey, no ice with a water chaser. :)	SurferJoe46 (51)

Also Sweetbreads, lambs fry and bacon, and the old favourite tripe and onions. And of course, Ox Tail. Though these days (now I am the cook) nothing much that requires preparation. Regular meals come in frozen packages with instructions on the outside saying "microwave six minutes and serve" What realy upsets me with cooking though is the work required in cleaning the oven. We have a unit with two ovens.When one gets dirty and needs a clean I use the other one. When they both get dirty,as they are at the moment, I get a cleaning lady to come in. Then there's the cook top. When we first got it ,it was cleaned and polished after every use. Now when it gets stained I just use a pot scourer and scrub it. And horror of horrors.Coffee. For years we drank freshly ground and perked coffee. Instant was a no no. Now it's instant only. On the rare occasions when I cook a roast, the meal is spoiled by the effort of preparation and cooking and cleaning up. No wonder cooking is a woman's job. No man would put up with it, if he could avoid it!. And while on the subject of horrors, there's the washing. At least I've got that down to a fine art. Everything goes into the machine,(none of this sorting), when it's full a good slurp of "Surf" and press a few buttons. When the noise stops, transfer everything to the drier. Nothing has been hung on the clothes line for months. At least doing things "MY WAY" leaves me free to spend most of the day on my computer.	JJJJJ (528)

Having just got a new one, I laughed at that bit in the book that says don't worry about cleaning the top of the inside - using the grill burns off any dirt. Hahaha. They heard of "baked on coloursteel?" Same thing. Should just have BBQ every day....	pctek (84)
450501	2006-04-30 22:05:00	I think you've got OPOCs, jjjjjjjjjj . One Person Only Cooking Syndrome . Severe cases can end up with bags of instant meal packacking filling up the rubbish . I shared meals and cooking with my dad for 15 years till he died last year and cooking for one just doesn't have the charm . Unless you're a lousy cook having someone say "Hey that looks good" or one of the many equvalents does give motivation and satisfaction . Since I actually like cooking it's not so bad and my trick is to make a 2-3 serving meal like sat a lasagne and put two of three portions in the freezer then couple of nights in the near future it's out of the freezer and onto the table (almost :D) As for the washing up I make my myself do it during the dull spots on TV . Having a clean sink bench gives me the impression I'm Virtuous, and being an athiest I have to get these hits from somewhere LOL . Cheers m PS Greg that monkey gland sauce sounds like it's just got too much in it . Offal? Pugh! Though did eat tripe in Spain .	mark c (247)

As for washing up. I do it as I go. empty pot on to plates,wash pot, empty next pot....... Never a conventional wash up. Under hot tap.It's easier, faster, and probably cleaner.	JJJJJ (528)
