    @B3, I know I'm not a very good cook but just how do you do raw roast potatoes!  :D

    Not very good cooks do them best. Just go with your instincts😉

    I'm really grumpy! Dinner tonight was a disaster. I ended up with a rather blackened pizza with the really burnt topping scraped off and baked beans tipped on top to soften it.  Yummy it wasn't!
    I had put the timer on but didn't have my hearing aid in because OH was watching the GP, he heard it but didn't mention it (why?) and I didn't hear it at all in the living room.
    He ended up with cheese and biscuits which was okay for him because he'd eaten at lunchtime anyway but I ended up with the remains of the pizza. Too late to cook again.
    Definitely a meal not to remember.



    Lol.. what a coincidence @Lizzie27 I also managed to mess up cooking yesterday by boiling a couple of eggs dry in the pan. Only realised when I heard and saw exploding eggs flying out the kitchen door.

    I'm the worlds worst cook , but can usually manage an egg mayo sandwich for lunch lol... :D

    Never mind candy canes,why Christmas tree? According to the web started in 16c Germany,24.12,they decorated the trees with wafers for the feast of Adam and Eve. By the way,if they only had 2 sons,where did all the rest of the babies come from?
