In my single days, between divorces, i became very proficient at using a microwave - but now i am banned from the kitchen because HRH says i make too much mess, don't do as i'm told and generally cause chaos.

Before i ever got married, i'd just eat whatever i hadn't the night before regardless, because maximum calories in minimum time was the point. Left to my own devices, not much has changed.

hows your weather down there ?

Cold, but not quite freezing - with rain coming in and then warming up until next weekend, when it'll get cold again.

You'd think that such miserable weather would temper HRH's urge to shop....not a bit of it - off she trotted today and returned with 4 times her bodyweight in 'bargains'.

When i lived alone I used to get busy doing stuff and forget to eat until I was about ready for bed, then I would just throw a sandwich together or nuke something when I realized it. I was thin then. I'm a lard .... now that I'm told to eat because I should be hungry. Like you, If left to my own devices, I immediately go back to eating if I happen to think about it.

As far as being messy, I used to take it as a point of pride that I could cook a 3 course meal and not dirty up anything, but a pan and a spoon. I'd usually eat it out of the pan standing of the sink so I didn't even dirty up the table. Most women I've lived with take it as a point of pride that they can fix a Cup O Noodles and get use out of every kitchen utensil, pot, pan, bowl and plate they own. Then here it comes, "I cooked you don't mind cleaning up do you?"

My idea of a kitchen is a microwave, a George Foreman grill, a knife that will give you a bruise if you fall on it, paper plates and so on.

HRH now has every appliance i can think of, and this is a process that has been going on for a number of years. There is a Kitchen Ninja, a popcorn maker, a rotisserie, cookware like Dutch ovens, toasters, soda machines and coffee-makers which require a degree in mechanics to clean and refill.
Not to mention a set of knives that ran me well over a week's earnings. They are so sharp they can cut vape fog.

Which is why i am banned from the kitchen. Apart from being a sociopath, i'm also clumsy and i dropped a knife from the work surface. Now, if it were one of my old knives - well who cares, they are blunt, never fall in a line anyway. Not these.

Harpooned my foot and HRH freaked out! :laugh:

'dad - why am i running in circles? shut up or i'll nail your other foot to the floor'.

Oh course not, the iron was always dirty from using it to de-laminate fingerboards from guitar necks.

I just used to get to the tumble dryer before the 'cool' cycle and fold all the clothes when warm. I never ironed a thing - and i can get away with it, because i don't wear a suit and tie to work.

Ironing underwear is a fool's errand as far as i can see, but i just shrug and go 'do what you like dear'.
