So far her suggestions include 'stir-fry' and, God help us, 'vegetable lasagne'. :-(

* Actually, telling her to fück right off and that if she wants to eat that slop then she can cook it herself is the only sane option, but you're not going to do that, you uxorious fellow, you. ;-)

You can pick up all the staple ingredients at the Chinese supermarket next to Bang Bang Oriental Food Court.
Did you chaps ever make it there? They now have a dedicated bar area...
Health. Health health health, always the health. I have to eat 6 enormous tablets before my dinner every day. One is extract of pomegranate for blood pressure. One is extract of some nonsense for prostate cancer. One is some stuff for joints or something.Quote:

Mmm chopped liver, it's years since I had chopped liver.

Pasta as has been suggested or a nice home made pizza. There are many very decent options.
