Who cooked it?

Mrs D, but I did go to Waitrose with her when she picked me up from the station last evening and I did carry the shopping bags to the car for her. Very traditional like that.

For her? Implying that carrying bags is women's work too, you mean? What jobs, both domestic and work-related, would you consider "men's work" to be, then?

Oh, and you never gave an answer to what food you like to prepare once a month when you do cook. Am intrigued, please let us know.

Why do people now say ground beef when they mean minced beef? Or pan-fried for plain old fried?

Wey-hey ... I got in before Cod'ead to mention why is it Sea Bass when, in the UK, we don't have any other kind of fish called Bass?

The fried bit I can understand: I deep fry, pan fry and griddle fry

As for minced/ground beef, I much prefer to chop mine

I deep fry, shallow fry and griddle.

Pan frying to me means using a well-seasoned pan dry and oiling the meat/fish as opposed to the pan

All sorts - Italian, Spanish Tapas, Roast Dinner that sort of thing. It normally a real treat for the family after the usual fare.

Go on, someone create an account called "Mrs Dally" and give him a royal bollacking - before he does.

Italian week at Lidl. I can recommend the anchovy fillets, not as salty as the tinned variety and only 99p. But what is worth popping in for, if you like lemons is Limoncino di Sorrento lemon flavoured liquer. The lemons are intense and at 30% it gives a pleasant kick but at £6.99 it has bargain written all over it.
