Hellfire, I was going to do beef and guiness stew-type thing and I've just realised the time!!! Can I possibly cook it now to eat before 7 or shall I do something else!!

I usually do stews for abiout 2-21/2 hrs and I haven't even prep the veg yet

ARGGGHHHH - MN's fault again!

Hmmmm, could be pushing it if you want to eat for 7.
Stew meat needs about 3 hrs IMO, to get it tender.

mmm sounds like a cunning plan to get takeaway!

well done you!

WhenSantaWentQuietlyMad · 15/12/2006 17:33

Oh definitely a takeaway - you want to see your guests, not spend all night cooking.

Nearly strangled my dad last night when after sitting for 3 hours he yawnd really pointedly and said "any chance of a cuppa love?" ARggghhh, lazy, lazy,lazy!!

Ho hum - cant moan too much not many parents take you in again at 27, with a baby and dont charge rent - AND then give you an additional credit card on their account for "household shopping" - weekly copy of heat and dairy milk anyone!!!
