Do Yo Have Cook Different Things For Different People?tonight's Dinner. Got A Mixed Pack Of Fish And Prawns

[Iluvspikey]

smoked haddock, cod and prawns to be precise, and I'm add a salmon fiillet too, gently poach them in milk with some aromatics and make a white sauce with the milk to make a fish pie for hubby and daughter. My sons won't eat it saying it isn't substantial enough - an hour later they're hungry again!

[Barmaid]

I ALWAYS have to cook different for stepson. He has a very limited diet and there are only about 5 things he will eat (none of which we particularly like).

nuggets

[Barmaid]

Close! Pizza, sausages, meatballs, turkey dinosaurs, chicken nuggets (Macdonalds only). And chips.

However, he does eat vegetables, baked beans, fish, chicken, turkey, beef, pork, venision and has no idea ;)

[Old_Geezer]

We can't always have our favourite. So long as the diners can stomach it, then tough. They can always have a piece of fruit or a slice of bread an hour later.

[Barmaid]

It was going so well.....

Browned off meat. Cooked off some veg. Chucked in some porcini mushrooms and their soaking liquid and some wine. Thickened it all. Stuck in oven. Made boy's pizza base. Put some chicken on to poach to mix into base. Tidied kitchen. Peeled some pears.

Went off and did other things. Then thought, hmmmm, go and check how that beef is doing.

Of course the bit I FORGOT to do was PUT THE BLOODY JOINT BACK IN THE POT. So the sauce has been merrily cooking away to itself whilst the seared joint has been sat on top of the microwave.

Double jobbing, Barmaid?

[Barmaid]

Multi tasking and failing. I am a disgrace to womankind.

[EcclesCake]

Womankind won't judge you and if Mr BM tries to judge you kick him in the knackers.......surely he'd noticed the joint on the micro, so why didn't he say anything?

[Psybbo]

I'm surprised ASBO didn't deal with it!

[society]

We were 8 kids growing up. Every day my mum cooked at least 6 different things to cater for those fussy eaters among us. Now I'm an adult and understand all the work involved, I feel very guilty.

Very harsh treatment indeed Eccles lol.

[Psybbo]

Tony, we know the kitchen is a no-go area for you xx

[tonyav]

To bloody right it is psybbo, If I keep out of the kitchen then I have a much better chance of not getting kicked in the knackers !.

[Barmaid]

well Mr BM wasn't here because i sent him ten pin bowling with his son. Just as well really. 2 nights ago he told me I reduce things too much. Last night he told me I don't reduce things enough. This from the man who can cook 4 dishes.

Btw, after the third person knocking on my door to say that my car has a flat tyre, I am going to stick a notice in the rear screen saying "Husband aware"........... (OK so technically he is not husband, but I think I might make my point).
