Sounds like what the wife does and I don't know how but I am learning, I like going into the kitchen and cooking a meal, it keeps me focused at my age and it does give the wife a break as Liz is a far better cook than me and she learnt a lot from her Gran growing up when her mum passed away, a lot that I do know like making a curry etc comes from the wife showing me.
She made a beautiful egg flange the other day with cheese & tomato and that went down a bloody treat, I saved a bit for later on but our son came home late from his taxi shift and scoffed it, typical Liverpool supporter, they nick anything fucking lying around.
