RE: Grower & Cook? - Mikey - 18-07-2020
We share the cooking duties a little 4-3 in my favour, though the OH doesn’t grow or pick and very rarely cooks with veg, unless they are oven roasted. I grow what they will eat otherwise I’m growing for just myself, which I don’t enjoy as there’s only me that goes mmm that was nice. Doesn’t work as well when you are telling yourself.

I am the grower, but share the cooking. I make basic meals and OH tends to experiment with recipes she has seen on telly. Very rarely are these recipes very nice, but I tell her they are.

I'm the chooser of what to grow, the grower, the picker, the cook and the wiper upper after dinner. Paul will eat anything, is not fussy nor a foodie at all but quite likes new things. We both adore veg although he can get a bit plaintive when veg outnumber the protein 6 to 1.

Jen was a little surprised when I turned in from gardening with a globe artichoke grown from the garden. I was instructed to cook that, but she happily helped eat it.We're the same Jimny with sharing the cooking but we both have our fave makes, mine is making soup, bread and chilli, MrB his is stir fries and bols, pasta so neither of us interfere then. Otherwise we will share cooking and washing up.
The veg garden is my hobby
MrB will help with anything I'm not strong or tall enough to do.

I'm the grower, picker and main cook. If it's late when I come in out of the garden, it tends to be pie and chips or pizza. One reason I regularly make a big pan of curry that will last a few days (may be up to a week the one I just made tonight but I think it tastes good). Mrs.Chris does pod the peas which have been a bumper crop this year. I've stopped picking now as have 20lb in freezer so will need to look at recipes for dried peas.

20lb of Peas!!! That is some harvest.
RE: Grower & Cook? - JJB - 19-07-2020
Get your peashooter out. My brother used to use me as a target
What variety Mark and what protection from pea moth grubs. The only reason I don't grow peas is the nasty surprises you get. Paul was rather plaintive yesterday - I had given him some fresh raspberries and there was an even fresher woodlice amongst his custard. I told him it was extra protein but he didn't appreciate it.
RE: Grower & Cook? - PyreneesPlot - 19-07-2020
Eating bugs and grubs and creepy crawlies will be the way forward - although perhaps not in the custard
