Non-maternal answer: Back in the days when my cooking was more...erm...experimental in nature(i.e., before I really knew what I was doing) I managed to bugger up a simple cheese sauce. To this day I'm still not sure how I managed it, but it ended up as a sea of yellow with lumps in it.

Did it contain lumps? Please tell me it contained lumpsMy old flatmate and I, probably just before my own cheese sauce failure, speculated on the existence of a recipe for "boring soup," which would be "grey, with lumps." Obviously the closest I could get was yellow with lumps - I'd love to be able to tell him it's possible.

I don't think there's anything scummy about porridge. Tastes amazing with the right amount of cinnamon and fake sugar, it's slow burning so keeps you full throughout the day and it's great for keeping in shape.

actually that's not truelots more research these days showing that you are much better to have a tiny bit of the real thing than bigger amounts of the diet substitutes, which are full of fake badness like aspartame, which can cause insulin rushes and then crashes that make you eat more, etc etc.
of course, the problem probably lies in the words "a tiny bit"...

I used real sugar for ages.I still eat the same amount of food every day, and use the same amount of fake sugar as I would the real stuff. I do completely agree with what you say though, it can easily be just as bad/worse if you don't use it right.

i went out with a personal trainer for a little whileand he was adamant that you should be using the real stuff. for example, he said never mix animal and vegetable - eg fry vegetables in a drop of olive oil, but use organic unsalted butter if you are cooking meat/fish.
he was a walking example of his own healthy eating tips, but god he was dull.

In my defence that was a long time agoI'm quite a bit better at the cookery now.
At university there was a curry made by three housemates together, all three of whom assumed responsibility for adding the spices. Even very drunk we couldn't eat more than a couple of mouthfuls.

It's still beef for cottage and lamb for shepherd though. I wouldn't argue that changing the nature of the potato on top makes no difference.
