I want to cook something....nice

[smallfrog]

Hiya i want to cook something nice, you know weekend food, but not sure what.

Have looked through Nigel S Kitchen Diaries and a bit of Nigella but can't find anything that fits the bill.

I think its turning into one of those restless days where i can't settle down and do anything.

What are you would you cook???

[zazen999]

If in doubt - flatbreads.

A couple of cups of any flour, and a teaspoon of yeast.

Add water until it stops sticking to your hands.

Knead.

Roll out, and prick with fork.

Either grill as is - or spread with pesto/onion/cheese/chili/peppers/olives [all or any] and grill until ready.

Eat hot.

i always get inspiration from bbc good food website

What are your main ingredients?

I felt like that last week - ended up stuffing some aubergine slices with feta and sultana cous cous, and baked with pork and marjoram meatballs in a tomato/chili sauce. Served with yoghurt and mint leaves.

Anybody got a foolproof recipe for anything? Lady s wants to cook something nice too. In 40 years of marriage she has never quite achieved it. The boiled egg wouldn't have been bad if she had remembered the water.

I suppose toast is still a bit dodgy?

The fire brigade still hasn't forgiven us from last time.

Sarraceniac thats so mean.

My OH dials a mean pizza and has been known to collect a good chinese. He did try to cook a while back and everything he did had to have a fried egg with it.

One night pork chops, supernoddles and a fried egg. :O)

DS bread in interesting shapes in the oven. ingredients for greek salad brought. Strawberries and cream for pud. Husband at least 1hr away still working. (

Smallfrog. I am the 'man' of the house. Our division of labour is - me - garden and food. Lady S. - everything else. I hate cleaning and washing (clothes) and ironing. Jacqui hates cooking and gardening. So it works. Oh and I have to walk the dog as well, despite having bought him a road map for Christmas.

Well tonight, as I'm cooking....when don't I?! I'm doing breaded mushrooms with chive & garlic dipping sauce, followed by steak for Mr TK and fresh tuna for me, with a pepper sauce and frites! Just a simple meal for us tonight!

There are examples of our dinners on my blog, might give you some ideas. I just adore cooking!

I'm going to have words with OH.
I would love Cooking gardening and even walking the dog. I seem to get everything bar loading dishwasher and putting the bin out. Because i work "part time" i think was his reasoning. :O(
