Oh Jesus mate. I didn't see that. I'm only on here sporadically. I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you and your family are coping OK.

Sorry to hear that chief. Condolences to you and your family mate

 

[thefanwithnoname]

Thanks, mate. I was raised mainly by my grandparents and growing up I just took for granted that every meal would be made for me. I left school and moved straight in with a lass who knew her way around the kitchen. When I got into my 20's, I froze when it come to making a meal, I felt I'd left it to late and then by that stage it's a bit embarrassing asking people. My Mam really tried to help me when she was dying, she bought me a slow cooker and told me to just put everything in that. I want to learn to cook, though. She wasn't well enough to do that, I don't think.

Saff mate I was very similar to yourself in that couldn't boil an egg mate. Then I went to uni and couldn't stand the ready meals n that so learnt to cook.

The first step.is the hardest and I made some monstrosities to begin with. But now I find it fun and relaxing

Key, for me is that there isn't a right and wrong way. It's what I like. Funnily enough coms method is probably best, as in hoy in a bit of what you like.

I don't know you mate so don't get this wrong but like me in the early days it's probably the fear of getting it wrong that is preventing you from living it a go. Truth is as long as say chicken is cooked there is no wrong. You just learn from it for next time.

You say you like the egg baguettes from Gregg's. Well try make your own. Get a baguette from lidl (about 19p the fresh ones) and make some eggs. If it goes wrong it's set you back a quid at most

I know, I wouldn't have expected you to know at all.

I only really stealth posted last Saturday night as I was sat with a glass contemplating with everyone else in bed. I didn't and don't expect a reaction or fuss of any sort, this is just life.
