I'll wager that she, as do all of 'em, regularly uses the phrase "it's on the side", when you enquire where anything may be, especially something in the kitchen. Have women not yet realised that most kitchens have at least four sides, each consisting of various horizontal surfaces standing off them?

Got some stewing steak from the butchers so think the slow cooker will be making an appearance this week.
Spuds, carrots, turnip, frozen petit pois, and then I'll be searching for one of JC's Mrs's casserole mixes.

Hopefully this will be the end result (I may also add a splash of red vino).

"Its in the cupboard"
"Its on the shelf"
"Its where its always been"
"You had it last"

How about, ''It's up your @rse because that's where it's going when I find it?''

I know I'm a bit rubbish with shuffling the pots and pans but I've managed to muddle through and get by.
My staples, keeping it easy, that I do a half decent job at -:
Fry up.
Sunday dinner (just about got the hang of Yorkshire Puddings).
Slow cooker casserole.
Home made curry. (left over from Sun din, beef, pork, chicken etc).
Corn beef hash (with beans).
Omelette.
Shepherds Pie (or Cottage ).
Toad in the hole.
Salads.
Cereals.
Cheese on toast.

Throw in a weekly takeaway or two, the odd restaurant visit, and the jobs just about a good un.

We might have to have a Wizeb, Sanjunien, Peggy rendezvous if I tramp over to Limoges this coming season.
We will doubtless despatch several bottles of claret.
