Yesterday I was very good, prepped, peppers, courgettes, leek, celery, red onion, and drizzled it with a few chilli flakes and olive oil, and little cherry tomatoes. Removed fat and bone from a pork chop, and put it in another tray, with a drizzle of oil and a few mixed herbs. Popped it into the oven, and feeling very pleased with myself (I don't often eat meat) noticed the rain had stopped and went for a wander round the garden. Spotted a couple of quick jobs, that just couldn't wait. 1 hour later came in to a rather charred dinner, maybe chefs would call it "caramelised". Still had to eat it anyway.
Later, scrubbed all the burned bits of ashes out of the oven tins, and generally cleared up. Noticed it smelled a bit of cooking (which I hate).
Today at 9am stripped down the cooker hood, and the ovens and the tins again. Washed the oven gloves and apron. Thats the quick version, in real life it took until 12.20.
So thats it, can cook, provided the garden doesn't get in the way !!!! But I think I will stick, with ready-mades, jackets, salads, easy veg and basically anything that doesn't require all that effort. - Who can blame a girl.
Tonight it is a jacket with ready grated cheese.
