baddad Report post Posted July 3, 2011 especially when your kid cooks it for you! :thumbs: With a bit of guidance on timings etc, Ben has cooked our dinner from scratch today. We had roast chicken with roast potatoes, roast celeriac and stuffing, Curly kale (with a bit of leek for extra flavour) baby carrots, brocolli, cauliflower and fine beans. It was scrumb-diddly-umptious. For pud we just had some carrot cake from the freezer that I made weeks ago, but if pud came to shove he could have quite happily knocked up a '4x4 sponge' in the microwave or one of his famous 1 cup chocolate cup cakes. AND he had a brilliant report last week AND he played a brilliant round of golf this morning AND he's the best son in the world EVER :wub: Sorry, I'm gushing... But it was a very nice dinner and it's been a long time since anyone cooked for me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted July 3, 2011 I've just seen the other post of yours and wonder was there any singing after the meal? Danaxxx Oh, it doesn't take much to get me singing! I think the main one today was that old Harry Nilsson classic 'Lime in the coconut' but I can't for the life of me remember why, but when I finally made him larf he called me a prat! He hates it when I make him larf against his will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathryn Report post Posted July 6, 2011 Well done Ben! Don't forget the hummus starter next time. My son hasn't cooked us a roast yet - I can see I'll have to start teaching him. He did bring home a 3 course Italian meal yesterday though. He had made doughballs with garlic butter, veggie lasagne and tiramisu at school, all very tasty and very welcome as I had been out all day. It's such a luxury to have food cooked for you, isn't it!

Adam Mars Report post Posted August 23, 2011 Tonight we're having venison casserole, spinach and lemon ice-cream. Very adventurous. I normally serve vanilla ice-cream with venison. Or mashed potatoes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted August 23, 2011 spinach and lemon ice-cream. Doesn't do it for me - sets off the sensitive teeth, and you find bits of spinach stuck between your teeth for days. Plus it sounds a little too like something Huge Fairy Wittington (I think that's his name...) would try and flog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted August 24, 2011 Well I've had chilli ice- cream. Your taste buds can't quite believe it at first but the combination of cold and heat is actually very nice. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted August 25, 2011 i think you'll find you're entirely wrong. cookie dough with chocolate fudge sauce is the best. Cookie dough with hot chocolate fudge sauce, a caramel core, fudge cubes and several chocolate flakes - now that's nearing on perfection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
