    Lexie my MiL feeds hubby on a wednesday, he gets a 3 course meal. I give him a dinner every other day.
    The Irish Mammy secretly thinks no one can feed her son like she can.
    Like the song says Let it Go ! Otherwise it will drive ya mad

    Do grown men still get their dinners cooked by their mammies?
    Glad mine does not do it for me, she is half blind and eating at hers shortens my life expectancy.

    Trigger yup every wednesday his Mammy cooks for him. She's a widow who lives alone and bless her heart it gives her something to do and makes her feel useful.

    Thats fair enough, it fills a double purpose I suppose. Wish my mum lived near bye and could do the odd meal and babysitting.
    TA that I pay €10 per hour for a babysitter when lots of people get it free as they have family living near bye!

    My mother lives about an hour-and-a-half away and enjoys cooking her legendary Breakfast That Would Capsize A Bull Elephant an odd time. Not as much as she enjoys being brought out and fed somewhere swanky, though. :pac:

    Jaysus Lex, you're leaving out the most important information. How many dinners? Are we talking meat agus veg or something more exotic?

    I'm a bit offended about that actually! (Although I love her dearly and it was lovely). But seriously. He finishes work at 5pm. He's 28 years old and thankfully not handicapped. Why is his mother sending dinners over? GRR.

    If I know Bridie the way I think I know Bridie, and I think I do, you'd be better off letting her at it an' it be playsin' her. :pac:

    Chicken, turnip, carrots, peas, stuffing, potatoes and gravy. The plate needed side boards. Too late to be eating at 9:30!

    Agreed, that's nearly lunchtime. You'd want a feed like that at 8am, after you've been up for a couple of hours, and get a clear run at de day, like! :D

    Mash, roast or both?

    Between this and a lad in the office talking about a live cam to a 6 year old McDonalds hamburger, i've got an awful hunger on me.

    Ooooh, that beef should be nicely festered at this stage. Like a finely-aged lasagne.

    I'm never trusting Google again. I was given a lump of beef, and said I'd roast it yesterday. I weighed it to calculate cooking time etc. I've not often cooked beef, only brisket which I know takes hours. Anyway I took the beef out when the time was supposedly up. I let it rest bla bla. It was grand the first few slices, but the more I cut into it the pinker it got. I don't mind a bit of pink, but it was all chawy n nasty:(.

    Careful saying things like that around here! :p

    Seriously though, between the slow cook ribs and the half cooked beef, I think you should have a look at some of those fancy pressure cooker pots, life changing things they are - meat on in the morning, by dinner time in the afternoon it's ready and just falls off the bone! :)

    Hell yeah. Flambé with a drop of diesel as well. Agri stuff, that dye has a lovely flavour when it's roasted.

    Just mash I'm afraid! I had toast, mushrooms, beans, an egg and tomato for breakfast, and I'm stopping off for some macroons. Are you still hungry?

    I highly recommend those halogen ovens. Brilliant things. Many's the time we bung a chicken or a duck into it, set the timer, bugger off out to the shops or whatever, and when we get back voilà, roasht burd.

    To answer your question, yes, when I finish this mug of coffee, i'm probably going to just eat the mug.

    You've no idea. I played a football match last night and wolfed down some veggies after it. I had a single bowl of granola this morning and dont plan to eat again until 1:30.
    Doing lots of extra exercise lately and cutting out some of the eating and it has turned me into a savage when I do eat. I'd say I'd resemble a prisoner having his first meal after getting out of solitary when I'm eating now....no worse. Living for Friday where I get to carbo load for a strength & conditioning class on Saturday. FFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD
