I think I have the situation under some form of control right now. I don't know what the hell it is that I've cooked, but it's ready and waiting to be heated and I thought it tasted quite nice.
I tried the salmon dish posted earlier, but I completely buggered it up... twice. After a quick trip back to the supermarket I got some chicken thingies, potatoes, mushrooms, cream, asparagus and two smelly green plants that I assumed were edible being on the produce department.
I cut the chicken up, which was all horrible and dead. Did the same with the taters. Cooked it up with the help of another friend via skype voip, added some mushrooms, then eventually threw the cream along with the plants that I'd cut up.
I accidentally drowned it in cream to the extent it became soup, rather than errrrr, whatever it currently is. I have determined that it tastes good because I had to drink away all the soup so that the food didn't drown. The soup was good! I've been assured that I can cook the asparagus without any further help (I'm not convinced), so hopefully all will go well.
I dunno what the dish is called. I've given it the title of 'chicken ala failure' in the meantime. I think a couple of bottle of wine before I serve it should do the required job!
This has not been the stress-free day I was wanting. Let's hope I've done enoughto satisfy. Next time I am completely drunk, I hope I will remember today and not say I'm a great cook and offer to show my l33t cooking skills again!
