You know the drill....get home late starving after a long day/week at work and you've been thinking about what you're going to eat when you get in. It gets served up and you instantly know it's a 'panic' dinner...thrown together when the adverts are on between whatever crap she's been watching on TV and she's just realised you're almost home.

Couple of weeks ago I got a stir fry (more like a pasta-in-pot thing) with microwave sausages cut up and salted peanuts. She called it Malaysian stir fry...and it wasn't even stir-fried.

Previously, some years ago, she made liver and oranges in gravy....she knew the stuff that went with liver and gravy began with an 'O' bless her.

Anyone else suffer the same rapid-meal disasters served by someone keeping a straight face?

Chicken with lemon curd and almonds. I have no clue what was going on in her head with that one. It happened over 5 years ago and occasionally the thought of that grey sauce and bizarre taste come back to haunt me.

The look of pride as she asked me what I thought was in it... urgh.
 

Mine made Hag Bol last week ... Simply replacing mince with Haggis from a tin .. It was pretty good with some soy sauce added. The kids were divided though two loved it but two refused point blank to try it.
 
I've been an "at home dad" in the past and, to be fair, there are days when the last thing you need is to have to cook something nice by 6 o'clock or whenever.

My old stand-by was tagliatelle covered in pesto sauce from a jar and a few defrosted prawns out the freezer.

Opinion was divided. I loved it...
 

It’s my honest dream to meet a girl who can cook properly and enjoys it. Scouse girls take pride in not ever going near a cookbook.
