Nah, I've been working from home a lot more lately
and I really love cooking. Shame I never get to show it off really.

cooking is aces. I liked the actual work when I was a chef but the hours were wank.

( mark morrisons prison shoes I love Willie, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 14:14, Reply)

Yeah, I've always said that in an other life I could've been a chef
But I'm far too lazy to work the sort of hours that I'd need to do. I just love food and love being creative, so it suits me down to the ground.
Also, Mrs Hats is a master of desserts, so between us we eat really fucking well.

plus it's fun to cook together.
unless your missus is a fucking nightmare that is.

We have a special understanding
that when we're in the kitchen there's no such thing as manners, so don't take it personally. 'Fuck off' basically means 'I'm ever so sorry darling, would you mind awfully moving away so I can use my space more effectively?'

sounds reasonable.

I love cooking, but, same reasons, I would never be a chef.
I was so proud of my dinner tonight. SO healthy and yummy at the same time.

Nice
This is the thing...our cooking was born out of A) a desire to eat a bit better and B) spend less money at the supermarket. As a result the only things that come out of packets in our house these days are herbs and spices.

Pretty much the same here.
Except for the gluten free pasta/bread. That I have to buy.

Ah, allergic?

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 14:31, Reply)

quite sensitive now, which is pissing me off.
I never used to be, but started to feel unwell about 18 months ago all the time, mentioned how I was feeling to a friend who I didn't know was coeliac, and he said to try removing gluten. Took it completely out of my diet for three weeks, felt amazing. Reintroduced it, felt awful.

Thought I could get away with it on monday when my mate cooked me pasta for tea. I ended up looking four months pregnant and being so uncomfortable I couldn't get to sleep til after midnight.

Man, that sounds pretty serious
Still, as you say, there are a lot of gluten free products out there now. Imagine how these people must have had to live 20 years ago or more. Must have been terrible.

the most annoying thing is that my parents don't believe me.
so when I go home to visit, they're like, "Oh, we've got pasta for tea tonight!" and I'm like, "is it gluten free?" "No" "well I can't eat it then." "SHUT UP AND EAT YOUR DINNER."

Haha, mothers are the least sympathetic creatures on the planet

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 14:47, Reply)

no, my mummy loves me, she just doesn't believe me because I'm not diagnosed as coeliac.

(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 4 Oct 2012, 14:55, Reply)

Then either get diagnosed, or SHUT UP AND EAT YOUR DINNER

(PsychoChomp, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 14:55, Reply)

there's a difference between coeliac disease
and gluten sensitivity. Coeliac disease is caused by a genetic mutation, whereas gluten sensitivity is usually brought about by a long term exposure to gluten and a corresponding immune response. you can't test for the gluten sensitivity, only for a wheat allergy or for coeliac disease mutations.

Sounds like a fake illness if ever I heard one.
Like depression.

When I'm with Mrs Hats
she eats well.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 14:19, Reply)

Well she is on a diet
so small portions are acceptable
