The OP has made comments alluding to the lack of sophistication and intellect of his co-workers. It wouldn't surprise me if this attitude comes across to his colleagues in some way. People can be quite perceptive, hell even the "blue collars" lufties appears to be looking down his nose at!
I get on with everyone actually, and was recently pointed out in my review with my supervisor how I get on with all the lads from the feedback he got.
Less of your ****ing snide remarks would mucho appreciated

They're not snide comments. You have actually, in this very thread, referred to your co-workers as "unsophisticated" and "neanderthals". Maybe your co-workers are oblivious to your true views on them. Then again, maybe not.0 -

Sucks to be you!
It genuinely does though in a way when I read through a thread like this and I see people getting all excited about food and their accomplishments and stuff, and I'm thinking "I can't even boil a frickin' egg without burning it!" (the water evaporated with boiling because I wasn't keeping an eye on it
).
I did manage to make some fine looking fajitas there a few years back, and they tasted good too, the end result looked exactly like the photo in the cookbook, quartered tomatoes and lettuce for decoration and all, quite proud of myself for that alright, lol, but it took me hours to do between the prepping and the getting it perfect and everything else.
One thing about eating out, ok you don't get that same sense of achievement, but you also don't run the risk of poisoning anyone, and when you can't cook or simply don't want to make the effort, have no interest in cooking, it's better than just simply a marmalade sandwich where the priority is simply filling a gap!
I do sometimes wish I could cook, but I'm genuinely too lazy to learn, and not interested or passionate enough to learn how to do it to the standard of some of the posters here 0 -

Plenty of simple stuff to begin with, start with "one pot" meals where you just throw everything together and let it simmer away. Easy and delicious.
Or something simple and delicious like this

It's just the right simple recipes you need at first.0 -

I've seen what you can do Tar
Yeah I might give something like that a try this evening, my wife will think I've finally lost my marbles when I offer to cook dinner
Just thinking about it, my brother is a professional chef, and as far back as I can remember, as a child he always had an interest in cuisine and cooking, used make the Sunday dinners and all that kinda craic. I was always just more function over style when it comes to food and nutrition, but I was always envious of those people with a natural talent for it.0 -

I've had basic cooking skills, but a couple of years ago began to try a new dish from the cooking club here. Whatever took my fancy really, I'd paste the ingredients list into my notes on my phone so I could easily call it up when in the supermarket, get the stuff and try it out.
Last nights dinner was Tarragon Chicken: Night before, marinade chicken with 4 ingredients. Stick in fridge. Last night I take out the chicken, brown it, add in a carton of cream and stick in the oven. Serve with baby boiled potatoes and green beans. Savage and simple.0 -

Any kind of one-pot stew thing is a good starting point, you can add the seasoning gradually and keep tasting until you're happy with it.
Just remember to keep tasting 0 -

Eat what you like, drink what you like & fúck anyone who has a problem with it...
Eat drink & be merry, for tomorrow we die...
We should enjoy life as much as possible, because it will all be over soon.
Unfortunatly in reality you dont die tomorrow(!), what will happen is that one spends the last twenty years of ones life, dealing with disability, side effects of various medications and sickness.
The idea of Healthy Living is to be at close to 90% up until the day you drop dead, *whether thats at 55 years old or 105 years old), and not spending the last quarter of your life having your nappies changed by some underpaid hospital intern. 0 -

Exactly. I mentioned her before here recently my wife's gran-aunt who celebrated her 101st birthday a few months back, and while some posters here are focused on healthy living, she would just call living. She still goes out on the farm, feeding her chickens, goes into town on her own for the bit of shopping, plays a bit of bridge, essentially she lives a pretty stress-free life and she's always in good humour (cracks me up anyway). 0 -
