Am probably in deep in the brown stuff here.  Messing about with miggy all morning. SWMBO comes out and says "instead of fiddling with that bloody old car-  why don't you do me a favor and cook the dinner today" followed by " If you can of course -- because it's a bit skillful you know --probably a bit too  technical for a bloke"

Big mistake followed-  I was well and truly sucked in - and heard myself saying " Sunday roast --  well easy -- no probs there -do it with me eyes shut"

So have had a go and dinner is all on , scheduled for about 4-15 i hope.  SWMBO has tried to give me some advice- but not having any of that. Got nice bit of pork leg going with roast pots, savoy cabbage, carrots, sugarsnap peas( found them in the veggie store- just gonna cook em' as they are - flat and in their cases) even found some yorkie puds in the freezer.

Wish me luck guys and Gals -- but i am goona show 'Er  - next week she can do a full service on her own Vectra-- see how she gets on with that then. --- GOTTA GO SOUNdS LIKE SOMETHINGS BOILING OVER!!!

Roast Dinner? easy, i love cooking. If she makes you do it again peel an onion, halve it & put it in with the meat & tatties. Comes out sweet & soft, peachy. Im a bit lost working on the car though, used to enjoy pulling Cortinas, Mk1 &2 eccys apart & fixing 'em up but it's all sensors nowadays & i'm not prepared or able to change my plugs anymore.
    For example i could change a water pump gasket on crossflow Ford in minutes but a similar job is a days work now.
    I'd rather cook the dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-)

So if all works out well is SWMBO serving the Miggy next weekend whilst you prepare the Sunday roast.

That's it Big Al you've done it now, no excuse if it turns out OK to do it again, and again!
That's how she got me cooking.....!

Oh YES! 8-)  SWMBO was mightily impessed.  Gave me 8/10 for the dinner-  and she's doing the washing up - well putting in DW

Told her though it was  a one off-  not getting me at again.

We'll see how she copes next week when I  tell her to do the service on her Veccy- herself

Think I've done us proud Guys -- she was gob smacked! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Gotta say I enjoy cooking a nice roast dinner, provinding there are a few people there to enjoy it, nice bottle of red to go with it and a port or 2 afterwards

My wife and remaining home-dwelling son are both vegetarians.  It's years since I had a good Sunday roast.  It's not worth doing a roast dinner for one.  
 
Actually, now that the aforementioned brat is off at university for most of the year, the wife and I have more or less reverted to bedsit cookery - it's a bit like being a student again, except I've got a better kitchen, and I've only got to share it one other.

Unfortunately, staples such as liver and bacon or kippers are banned - she can't stand the smell!
 

[Mr Skrunts]

Time to sneak of for a carvery then.  The local pubs are getting better and better value these days.

yep, I agree, he has fallen for the oldest trick in the book, hook, line and sinker.
