Ok there is only two of us so it’s not cordon blue every night , but I get so bored whilst waiting for everything to cook, what do others do ? - asking for a friend 😂

I haven't cooked dinner in 20 years, but as I recall I used to clean the kitchen or fold laundry

If it’s just for a few minutes, then I’ll just stay in the kitchen and do word puzzles. I’ll put the timer on my phone on for various items I’m cooking and every time I have to go in the kitchen to check things if there’s not long enough to go and sit in the lounge then I will just do the puzzles. I do Words With Friends, Wordscape and Wordle.

There's no tv in the kitchen so it's where I like to play a cd.....yes I know I should move with the times but I still like cds I always clear up as I'm cooking. I like a tidy kitchen. I record the chase for later so that I can skip the adverts.
