Which soup makers do you recommend?
Please bear in mind I have never made soup in my life and I can only just about poach an egg. Hubby is our cook, but I want to make my own soup.
My Dad was the best soup maker - ever, ever, ever.[/QUOT
Funny
And a tea towel over the top when the stick blender decides it's time to redecorate the kitchen for you.
I do admire your honesty about cooking. Not often you hear a woman admit she's a rubbish cook and that hubby does it.
It's more false modesty to be absolutely honest. I used to do all the cooking. Then circumstances changed, we bought a business meaning hubby worked at home all day and I continued with my proper job, so he took over. This continued even after we retired and moved away from the business. I suppose I just got out of the habit and lost confidence, and anyway, he enjoys it. I never did.
I have mentioned this before, but a couple of years ago I was doing toast when the toaster died. I decided to do it under the grill, which is incorporated in our large double oven. I had absolutely no idea how to switch the grill on, and none of the knob symbols were of any help. We'd had the oven at least 4 years! I was disgusted with myself.
I think we each should work to our own strengths and interests as far as possible. Mr ethyl loathes cooking as he hasn't the patience to stir and chop etc. I like doing special occasion stuff but do get fed up with the daily grind of it Especially as no one will ever say what they fancy and I'd live off chicken and steak if left to own devices. Tbh I don't know how our electric oven works as we also have a woodburning esse so I just use that.
I have an easy option for that.
If no one will say what they want, they get nothing, and have to get their own meal later.

Funny, I'm fine with the daily stuff (have easy shortcuts for nearly everything)I think we each should work to our own strengths and interests as far as possible.
