Can't blame the Mrs, I was steering the oven last night.

I love cooking... must be the WOP in me...

 

[Midwest]

Did I tell you about my decking lights?

 

[telectrix]

anyone else have the problem of women, although being generally excellent cooks, always tend to overcook meat. e.g. a beef joint. it should be pink in the middle and not capable of being cut with a spoon. likewise, if veg. can be mashed with a fork, they're well overdone.

I paid over the odds for a roasting joint from the village Butcher, turned out like boot leather,

Got stiffed like that the other year , with hindsight we had lost our "reliable-Regulars" status . (Now its for sure)

I paid over the odds for a roasting joint from the village Butcher, turned out like boot leather, now my Mrs is an excellent cook, never had a bad meal in47 years so I aint blaming her, good mind to take it back, but sure as eggs is eggs he will blame the cook, curry sounds a good option.

Like a wholesaler with a bit of 'overcooked' equipment...
....get rid of the black charring and take it back

I was using the probe method last night, one minute it was 45', next it was 75'. You could use it as shoe leather.

This is where people differ. I like my steaks medium-rare (Unless in the USA) and the missus likes it well done.
We both don't like hard veg.

Try the probe method, 50-55' for medium rare. I like me chips crunchy.

Just realised, got no coconut milk

Well of course....
Like crispy bacon fat.

Yep me as well, can't abide mushy Brussels, cabbage or any other type of veg. Found a Steakhouse in Ottawa, best steak I ever had, mind you no veg just chips, or pomme frits as they called them.

I'm hungry now you buggers....
