Can the wife beat your mum's cooking, need she even try.....
Discussion
I had a first go at cooking for the new man. Thought I would be safe with a bolognaise. Turns out he doesn't like onions his mum picks them out for him lol. Well I am not his mum. He loves cooking so I guess he will be wearing the apron in our household lol

With respect QB I wouldn't feed that to my dog, but maybe that's your plan all along to get out of the cooking Edited by QueenBee on Tuesday 15th April 06:29

'Jambalaya' is originally a dish made from ham bones and rice by the African slaves of French-extracted plantation owners.
From French we have 'jambon' and 'a la'. From the slave languages we have 'ya', meaning 'rice'.
Anything can go in. So long as there is cured and seasoned pork in some capacity, and rice. I use smoked Polish sausage in mine, chicken, and crayfish from the River Mole.

My wife's sister once served me the parsons nose for a Christmas meal. Hmmmm
Went there again last year after many years of excuses and I asked for the salt and pepper. They never use it apparently so I was stuffed. They always get a Pizza Hut pizza on Sundays, so that explains it I guess. Don't really care about cooking.
My mum on the over hand is brilliant, even though she is 87. Apart from not being able any more to get the lid off any jar she is still top notch. She had this one book she always uses from the 1930's

No kidding, that book has tips on using gas not coal ! Also it never gives any temps, just tells you a rough guide. And my my mum was still using this book in 2008! She had that book for 70 years. Can you imagine using Jamie Oliver in 2060 still? I do not think so.
I bought her a new copy off ebay in 2010 because her 70 year old copy was getting a bit dog eared. She was so chuffed. It was mint, not pages falling out, top notch. Do you know what, I bet she still uses her old one without telling me
Can my wife beat that? No, most of our cookery books remain unread on the shelf. They do have very pretty pictures though.
I salute my mum and other cooks who learnt to make do during the war years and rationing.
They rocked.
And my mum still rocks. I love her dearly even if she infuriates me at times with her old ways.
Great post. I want that book. Not sure I qualify to own one though lol. It's for the middle classes.Went there again last year after many years of excuses and I asked for the salt and pepper.

My Mrs is a superb cook and I get a quality meal every night, she's doing king prawns and linguini with chilli tonight. Served with home made garlic bread.
My Mother, was not so good and thought it was acceptable to serve baked beans and salad on the same plate.
Can I just ask, does she work and how many kids have you got? I don't work but that makes no difference to the quality of my meals. In fact, the more time and effort I put in the worse the are!
