The totally off-topic thread

14 hour days do not make me happy. Still 3.5ish hours to go, then a whole 'nother day of it.

Not good. You are missing out on a whole 10 hours out of the day with shorter days like that.

As they say, the key to a man's heart is through his stomach. Contrary to popular opinion, it isn't through his.... you know...

Through his ribcage?

The aroma lured number 2 son from his man cave last night.

So I may find a new past time now.
Actually have always enjoyed cooking.Speciality is curries.Trouble is always out of the head and usinjg what ever is available so when I get a beauty I have no idea how to replicate it.
Besides mrsdrron wont allow the cooking of curries at home so I only do it when working away.

I cook a mean butter chicken spicy curry. Served with Biryani Rice and Roti. Yum.

I could not master Thai food until I tried Marion's (from Masterchef) Thai meal kits. Have tried Red Curry, Green Curry and Pad Thai and they are superb. So now I've ticked Thai of the list. Kinda.

I know what you mean about not being able to replicate a great dish though.

Would have loved one more flight. All my DC-10 flights were when I was too young to remember them properly.

I am very lucky, although I have waistline problem. My wife cooks wonderful Thai, Indian and Italian food, as well as other more typical Australian style food.

But then, she is Thai and a chef. However, I do have to select the wine from the fridges,and restock them from the cool storage.

And I am a hopeless cook with a waistline problem.

Well it isn't so much the waistline but a problem all over....

Unfortunately with a Thai wife/GF the problem only gets worse But I'm sure you know that.

Don't know too much about that one. If I end up with a Thai wife she knows we will not be eating Thai food at home.

Thankfully I brought a powerboard with me. Unplugging the kettle has now given me one usuable powerpoint in this Singaporian hotel room.

I'm a good cook with a minor waistline problem - SWMBO is a better cook (with no waistline problem).

Did you take that powerboard on your cruise? They usually get taken as they're considered a fire risk.

Sure did. Had it connected the whole time & no one said anything.

Are you saying the better cook you are the less likely you are to have a waistline problem?

 

[TomVexille]

Are you saying the better cook you are the less likely you are to have a waistline problem?

Possibly. You might be less likely to eat junk

No - for me it's more golf(exercise) related.

 

[erkpod]

Then again, what chef wants to cook at work & when they get home?

 

[JohnK]

I wish I could blame junk food but that is not the case. Probably too much alcohol but a couple of years ago I stopped drinking for 3 months and weight was steady.

I'll blame the medication....

Good. I'm planning on taking one.
