What's for dinner?

[Black Orchid]

I'm glad you go to the effort to cook and look after yourself, Bobby. Too many don't.

Thanks BO,
I actually do a minimum of work to end up with something that is tasty.

Ok. I must admit. I'm a lazzzzy cook. If it ain't packaged and can go 'beep' in a microwave in 10mins or less. I'm not interested.
I have had some 'excellent' cooks (professional too) in my relationship years and I guess, that might be where it comes from.
I've always done the dishes, cleaning up instead and that's where my effort was put in. I even made ol' Cods happy when I said I even dry the dishes with tea-towels. I honestly don't like using Washing Machines and would even do everything by sink as volunteer 'cleaner' at Charity Functions, etc.
But when it comes to cooking, especially for myself. Meh. Sometimes I would just order out.
My previous place though, had the environment to get a lot of 'fresh' fish and roo straight off the sea and land. So there was a lot of effort cooking them, but it was well worth it. Spearing my fish is far better than dropping a line in the hope of 'something'? Spearing allowed me to get what I wanted: Big and the right species in a short space of time. Get my fish and get out before Brucey turns up for a bite. Greedy Spearos get bitten.

So kudos to you all for being such good cooks.
Tonight I'm just doing my 4 meat pies in the Microwave with tomato sauce and nothing else. Don't really need to wash the plate after too.

I understand. I've cooked every night for decades but since May I'm now on my own and so no more cooking for me, finally. I'm just not interested in cooking anymore.

I bake occasionally but as for cooking meals I just can't be bothered lol. Occasionally I'll cook a steak or a piece of fish but that's about the extent of it. One pan.

4 meat pies in the Microwave -

Isn't one pie enough?
Are you obese?
Microwaves are only good for unthawing not for baking -
you need an oven.

Wow - then my meals must look very appetising to you.

They're just those cheapy pies. x6 pies a packet for $5.70 (x2 packets makes for x3 dinners at $11.40).
Far cheaper than your more expensive $12 for just two, etc.
Sure the expensive ones might be nicer, etc.
But I like a nice semi-soft pie which I can pretend its a ghoul'ash hungarian style by choppin them up with ker-nife and fork with added sauces and extras 'mish-mashed' in with them for a 'forky' dinner.
Or I just top em with a sauce. I don't like very 'pasty & dry pasty' pies.
Years of working many jobs, long hours where 'cooking' elaborately is just too inefficient for my time allowances. I've learned to cook things fast and easy without compromising my 'diet' quality. Of course, if I have a lot of time up my sleeve, then I cook more elaborate meals (for me anyway) that take more time. Like my Kangaroo Pasta dish which takes hours in the slow (and low) cooker.
I also have the habit of cooking for 'many nights' in advance bulk style. Again, habit from working long hours and cooking for the working week's dinners in advance. I'm a big fan of Tupperware and when much younger, even hosted a Tupperware Party.

I remember the Pies at Fredrickton up the far north (NSW) coast. You could get Crocodile Pies ( ), Emu pies (Yum!!!), Wild Boar and more. Very popular Tourist 'stop' upon the main arterial heading north/south. Don't know if its still operating? Last I stopped there, it had different owners and choices of Pies. That's when I tried a Croc Pie. One bite (Snap!) and it was thrown out the window. Yuk-Gross!!

The fact that Black Orchid is single. Looks appetising to me.

Yuck - don't those cheap no name pies -
you'll clog up your arteries and need a heart bypass.
