I'm not the greatest of cooks.... however

[peterattheboro]

this was truly awesome

Cooked in exactly the same way as my Dad used to do it! Had this probably once a week since living with my Dad from the age of 15 and since moving out a few years ago I haven't had it for ages.

Well tonight I figured I'd make it myself.

Ok so it's not the hardest of dishes.

• Basically fry a couple of pork chops until they are nearly well done.
• Peel some potatoes, boil em then mash them and add a tablespoon of butter and a bit of milk.
• Peel some carrots, bung em in water and microwave them for 10 mins.
• Finish off with a dash of mint sauce. (I drench the mash in it normally and mix it in )

Hopefully you'll end up with something which looks like below

And for dessert...

Ohh, After Eights, half price in the blue supermarket

Not a very exciting dish but my belly is happy

I was going to boil them but I was in a bit of a rush.

They were seriously delicious

I put them in a measuring jug, filled it up with water just to cover the carrots and cover it in clingfilm and pearce the top a few times.

Try it

Ohh some water seeped out and I made a mess a bit

Should have steamed the veggies.
You nuked all the goodness out of them with the micro.

Also cant believe you put veg in the microwave!!! Put a pan on the hob and cook them properly!!

 

[Stumble Bum]

Not true. Microwaving is one of the most effective ways of maintaining nutrients in food

And why not?

Because he'll turn into a big porker and won't be able to get close enough to the hob to cook his awesome looking dinner again
