DH is watching the Paul Hollywood bread series.

I was presented with a list of things that if I didnt have them in cupboard would I get them on the shopping.

Yesterday he made a bloomer after watching the programme....... If I am asked once more what do I think of the texture,taste or quality I think someone is going to be wearing this loaf. shock

The second loaf he dropped on the floor after the proving and broke DD favourite red mixing bowl!

He has just come in and a look of panic on his face "you haven't thrown out my bread have you".

Why is it that DH when he cooks, bakes etc we have to have a post mortum on the item not once but over and over again...just as well we dont have to go through it every meal I make. hmm

And the second programme is on tonight shock oh what is in store this weekend!!!!

grin rant over grin

Killing myself laughing here. So so happy that everybody's DH seems to be identical to mine when it comes to cooking.
They turn themselves into CHEFS !! Even when just cooking the SIMPLEST thing like spag bol.

And yes it has to be like a military operation. Just cook one?
No no he will cook four all at once. One for the day and three for the freezer.
And he glows with achievement .................
Never mind that the mince came from the freezer in the first place and is then cooked and re-frozen. Where is the nutritional value in that?
And the taste is very so so anyway.

In the meantime he stands there by the Aga using the thing as if it is a steam engine. Door open- door closed. Lid open-lid closed. And so on. And so on.
Well I am sure you can picture it.
But he does clean up as well.wink

DH has decided he's going to have a go at Paul Hollywood's hot cross buns on Good Friday. The grandchildren will be arriving at tea time so he'd better make plenty!

PS Going off topic here, sorry.

G B Sew off ? sounds interesting. Went to my son's engagement party last week. The young women were discussing how they hadn't been taught to sew and were excited about going on a course to sew cushion covers. These skills must not die out or where will we be come the revolution?
Can sew and follow a pattern but never learned to knit despite my granny being a champion knitter. She tried hard to teach me but couldn't be bothered. Perhaps we need a Great British knit off.wink

Your OP glass has really had me chuckling! I can visualise the whole thing grin

My OH cooks our Sunday evening meal each week, baked salmon, veges and "new" potatoes. At least four saucepans are used, all the veges (including frozen sweet corn and peas) are left in the pans in cold water for an hour (or so ...) before cooking. Haven't the heart to tell him he isn't doing it quite right, mainly because I'm sitting with my feet up enjoying a glass of wine! My treat from cooking for the week smile

I would just go with the veg and enjoy your wine moomin grin

I've gone off him a bit after seeing more of him (IYKWIM grin ). I didn't watch GBBO.

I think he's possibly a closet know-it-all! wink
