Duh - Is This A Senior Moment.

Made a Fish Pie earlier.... sliced long runner beans, peas and roasted cherry toms to go with it.

Got distracted with writing cheques, inc pressies for b-days, a congrats card to my step-niece and her hubbie on their babe, making my mater a step-granny for the first time, problems for them as he was recently hit by a passing car on his bike, a specialist copper that he is, child protection.

Anyway the mater going on about who is who and then the value of the house (yawn), I break it to go and start the prep, plates out of the Aga, beans and peas in for 3 mins and, yo, what have I done, completely forgotten to put the pie in the oven. So dinner is now 8.00pm.

Where's the wine?

Comments on my insanity?

[EcclesCake]

You are quite insane, none of those vegetables are in season.

I'll give you some slack on the peas as frozen are generally in better nick than fresh ;-)

[gness]

See...I told you this cooking lark is a waste of valuable time....prick and ping, DT.....prick and ping....then you can do things that make you happy...☺

[DTCwordfan]

Probably, scrivens, the only reason that I cook being for a glass of vino.

[whiskeryron]

I had a horrible feeling you were going to say you forgot to put the fish in.

[Tilly2]

I hope it doesn't ooze, like mine did on Sunday.

[DTCwordfan]

the problem, gness, is the mater aka the 'Kitchen Terrorist' - one of those nuclear power plants here wouldn't last two days as she would put something with metal in it and it would be 'Prick and Boom', 'Prick and Boom' and likely taking out all the electrics in the Ruin.

So did i, WR! Not too bad for a man with a lot of distractions, dt - enjoy the wine xx

[Psybbo]

ust check the cheques are ok, no extra zeros xx

[pixie373]

Lol, sibs. Did you make your own cards, dt?

[Psybbo]

That's a thought, pixie. DTC, you could send us all cards, signed and our offspring could sell them on Flog It

[DTCwordfan]

Not these ones.....the pie is salmon and monkfish, ron. 5 more mins or so. That reminds me, in for the beans and peas, three mins on that, I like my sliced runners al dente.

[DTCwordfan]

Of AB House, think Ed would take a pic of it?

[DTCwordfan]

see you in 15....

[pixie373]

Yes, they'll be worth a fortune.

enjoy your (cold) fish pie x

[DTCwordfan]

cold, no way - could have been a tad thicker but okay....sliced beans, well yummy ones.

[Peter Pedant]

if you are breathing - you are OK

[DTCwordfan]

my cooking is, hopefully, not that bad!

[pixie373]

Did your mum enjoy it?

[DTCwordfan]

well, there is nowt left, pixie! Out of 10, I'd give it a 7 on the Great British (Home) Couck-orff.
