I've just realised I'm hovering around the food threads as have not been able to eat properly for days due to horrible bug.

I'm hungry.

Wot takeaway you having? just describe it to me.......(drools)

I don't mind the actual cooking - it's the deciding what to cook that does me in.

Tommy · 01/04/2006 19:14

Chinese tonight Grin

Littlefish · 01/04/2006 19:17

I'm so bored of everything I know how to cook, and bored of trying to think of new things. I know exactly what you mean Cod.

no, surely it is time of year - too springy for solid food, not hot enough for salads. some nice chicken and rice thingy will restore you (i hope, gosh it would be dreadful if this ever happened to me).

littlerach · 01/04/2006 19:42

yes, wouldn't it be nice of they just suggested,in a nice way, what you could have for dinner?

CODDYPANTS · 01/04/2006 19:43

i know
think i may have to have a articel in one fo those trashy mags

"the woman who forgot how to cook"

i hardly ever cook 'planned' food. too much thinking about + shopping, preparing and cooking = unlikely to fancy eating it in teh end. surely boys/dh must make occasional requests though? very cheering when its all properly appreciated.

JanH · 01/04/2006 19:52

After 30 years of pretty random domestic provision mine failed years ago. I go "I don't knoooooow!" to "what's for tea?"

Fortunately (?) I am now out at work for 3 meal times a week so that helps (not my problem). And a stock of frozen pizzas/curries accounts for a few more. Sausages...chops...casserole...frozzen fish...something-and-chips...it's not Good Food but it fills the holes.

Oblomov · 01/04/2006 19:55

Like littlefish, we get totally bored with our menu. Bored, all the time !!!
Wish I could come up with inspired, simple, quick meals.

JanH · 01/04/2006 19:56

me too, Oblomov. I think inspired cooks are born, aren't they. I do love good food, just not having to think of it and cook it Grin

Ulysees · 01/04/2006 20:32

dh says to me "I love your spag bog" What, the spag bog I make by throwing a jar of asda sauce over mince and sticking it in the oven?? Haha

Indian takeaway tonight as been busy all day and even valeted dh's car Shock King prawn and cucumber curry, lemon rice and peshwari naan Grin Mmmmmmm

no idea what the curry is but it sounds different anyway.

Ulysees · 01/04/2006 20:32

My mate jaqs dreams of cooking and wakes up in a cold sweat full of ideas.

lazycow · 03/04/2006 11:07

My mother always used to ask us what we wanted for dinner and we would always say 'don't know' and she'd get really upset and mutter things like ' Why do I always have to decide?' Now I know why she got so fed up Grin.

I have solved the problem by having a dh who loves planning meals. He sits down and decided what we are going to eat that week, does the shopping for it and posts the list on the fridge for me to refer to. We divide up the actual cooking of it over the week depending on who is home. The downside for me is that I don't have much input into what we eat in the evenings but he is a healthier eater than me so that is no bad thing Smile.

BTW we did this as Dh is a vegetarian and I had one too many strops along the lines of 'WTF do vegetarians eat?' in the early days of out relationship'

I don't like cooking much but I agree I find the deciding what to make the absolute pits.

Do pasta and loyd grossman sauces until someone offers a suggestion.
