Hmm..... all these OHs who cook for their wives once they've retired. I'll have to show this to my Hubby. I once told him to feel free to make a meal anytime. "Oh,but", he said, " You so obviously enjoy cooking!" Hmm.

OH took early retirement 3 years ago and I haven't cooked a meal since.

He enjoys cooking and I hate it. He did most of the cooking before he retired as well. It's lovely to come back from work to find food ready and waiting. :-D

I had a meal out today actually - lunch with two of my friends - we all worked together in Freeman's Cigar Factory [Manikin] here in Cardiff in the late fifties and into the sixites - lovely meal and lots and lots of talking!!!!

One friend lives in Neath now and the other in Italy, so we have a lovely catch up - we all took photographs to share as well

Wouldn't dream of eating fried bread indoors but breakfast out has to have a fried slice involved.

I don't miss corned beef but I do still miss liver. It is reasonably easy to replicate a lot of the dishes I remember eating like rasher roly and shepherd's pie but there is no wat of replicating liver.
