When I started this thread, it was about what I was preparing for dinner on
Friday. The fact that David won't eat corned beef (or other things) was
just an aside, NOT a complaint. Clearly, a lot of you folks have nothing
better to do than criticize habits and personal lifestyles. Too bad I
can't just erase the whole damned thread.

I understand. I'm losing all the flavor of the cooking water and a lot
of nutrients. I like beef soups and stews to taste like beef. The richer
the better. I also like the vegetables and barley to be done to my
liking without adding assorted items to the beef stock at assorted
times. So I cook vegetables and barley individually. If noodles are
involved, I do toss them in the beef stock without precooking.
As is normal with all this type of stuff. The meal is better the second
day.

I do most of ours, but as I have stated before, if the SO wants to cook
something, I let her. Because any meal I don't have to cook myself, is a
damn good meal :-)

Lots of variations, you can add cheese, or just about anything to the
sauce mix to give it a different flavour.

To a great extent you're right. Actually he *can* cook, and really makes a
very decent lasagna and a few other things, but we'd *both* rather that I
do the cooking.

I must have been a gourmet from childbirth....... a gourmet trapped in a
peasant lifestyle. Yeah, I used to pick it, but *never* eat it.

Same same when I grew up and did other things.

After 5 days of no food, we were given a 3 course meal. All thrown into the
one container.

Soup, main course (boiled sheeps head and veges), and dessert (trifle).


I sliced off a couple of thin bits of cheek, and left the rest to the
animals.
