Please can someone come round my house and make tea?

I’m knackered, been lumberjacking all weekend.

Roast dinner preferred. For four.

TIA

Sorry waiting for my ribeye steak (they were out of sirloin).

Still a bit full from the Sushi at lunch though.

Just spent nearly 3 hours making a roast pork dinner at the Mrs request, she ate 3 mouthfuls. Can’t even moan as shes just had her hip replaced.

Bit of mission creep between the thread title and the thread – clicked on the thread to offer to make a cuppa and find out I’ve been roped into a full Sunday lunch.

I’d settle for a brew but the kids won’t be happy

Ah , sorry we just ate our roast gammon dinner before I saw this. Cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets with it and the roasties and kale :p

It’s definitely close enough to Christmas for pigs on blankets, which Mrs Binners is presently doing with a roast chicken dinner. For some reason she’s made enough Yorkshire’s to feed an army. Oh well.

All 4 of you lumberjacking? Or just you and 3 waiting for you to make tea?

I had a sort out of the freezer earlier. Delighted to find a sneaky packet of M&S pigs in blankets which had been hiding there since last Christmas. So I ate the entire tray of them by myself for tea. Winning at life.

This evening’s meal has morphed from vegan Fennel, Artichoke, Potato & Kalamata Olive Stew, via Chilli to fish pie. Option one discarded because not all the ingredients were purchased yesterday. Option two went due to no kidney beans. Option 3 we have all the necessary bit in the cupboard or freezer.

@Fooman, the other three aren’t considered staff.

As it is, we’re apparently having freezer issues here, so a random assortment of freezer stuff (chips, onion rings, Yorkshire puds: an impromptufestval of beige) and some Cumberland sausages will be carelessly tossed into the oven, beforesmothering in onion gravy to serve, icecream for dessert.

Me, me, me, oh hang on a moment, I’m in Paris. So food would be cold by the time I got to you.

Roast gammon, cauli cheese, veg, yorkies, roasties and home grown apple strudel. I’ve been busy.

Ooooo that was a good steak, now waiting fior my knickerbocker glory and expresso martini.

Got to get the tube back to he hotel later…..

@bunnyhop, I didn’t say make tea and come round, I said come round and make tea, Eurostar to st pancras, nip across to euston, west coat to oxenholme, get a cab the rest of way. We’ll be eating by midnight.

the stabiliser, mmm , now let me think about that. Maybe breakfast.

I think you mean ‘make dinner’ because tea would be builders strength and two sugars with milk of course!

Good heavens bunnyhop, I’m a married man!

@Fooman, the other three aren’t considered staff.

What does that even mean? In our family I cook, my wife cooks, my daughter cooks even my 18 year old son cooks. If one of us has a job on it’s normal for someone else to step up, the bonus is they get the meal they want (katsu chicken curry today) and whoever cooks doesn’t clean up. We all contribute maybe your family model differs.

Is your role that of Chief Buzz Killington McFunsponge, perchance?

Too late for me to come round as I’ve had too much wine to drive

Started early whilst making our Christmas cake and a sticky ginger cake and then into cooking the Sunday dinner

Yorkshire to start with then roast chicken. Enough plated up for a couple of meals for daughter to take and the rest of the chicken will go into a midweek stir fry

Carrot and Swede, you’ve passed the test

I made a vegetarian shepherds pie big enough for eight… there’s only two of us. Do you have gravy as it would transport better without?

been lumberjacking all weekend.

You mean you’ve been wearing high heels and hanging around in bars?

Pop out to Nandos.  That’s what we did. Very nice it was.  Haven’t even done any lumberjacking, did walk the dog in the rain earlier though.  🙂

Buttered scones for tea?

How hard can that be?

Pub the meat (already rub with salt) into oven to roast it.

Put some potatoes to roast with it.

Boiler some sprouts or vegs in salt water.

That’s it. Dinner cooked.  A healthy meal.

You can dip the roast pork into whatever sauce you wish after that when serve.

How hard can that be?

Pub

Agreed

Thank you @mattyfez – we needed this reference here.

I can certainly make tea, it’ll probably be a random collection of whatever mugs are available, there’ll be a teabag in each one with some milk added and water just off boiling.

That ok?

Where’s the NASA / Tomorrow’s World / Willy Wonka’s 3 course dinner in a tablet that the 1980’s promised us?

I arrived home last night after a visit to mini_oab to find middle_oab had cooked full roast for us.

I’ve posted on here before about Mrs K soaking fruit in a rum and fortified red wine combo a year in advance for the traditional  Carribean Christmas cake – this is normal.   Well, after a bit of tidy this weekend, she’s found a 5yo batch still soaking at the back of the cupboard, raised her eyebrows and topped up the liquor.

Should be in interesting Christmas.

Is thestabiliser still alive ?

Has he died of starvation?
Did some well meaning Stwer go round and cook tea?

He’s one of those that asks for help to get sympathy but then refuses when offered. Practising for his dotage!

make tea

Tell me you’re northern without telling me you’re northern.

But then confuses me with

Roast dinner preferred

Whole load of North/south/class divides going on in a single post!

Milk before water, and the water “just off boiling”??? WTAF? I just hope for the OP’s sake CountZero didn’t make it round to his place to “help”…
