Yet the statisticians tell us we all work so hard and so long that when we get home all we can be bothered to do is watch TV. So we're watching TV shows, fantasising about what we could be cooking or how we could be improving our houses/lives if only we had the time... ah the irony - bring back 'Why Don't You' that's what I say. <BR/>I'd start a campaign only I've got all this work to do and on top of that 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' is on later so I don't think I'll have time.Ten-Bob Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782087505837464090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599583.post-1142862788356747462006-03-20T14:53:00.000+01:002006-03-20T14:53:00.000+01:00Hmm...

I'd say until the chorizo was going a bit crispy all over, but I don't know.<BR/><BR/>anyway I found in my archives this link <A HREF="http://www.cjr.org/issues/2003/5/foodporn-oneill.asp" REL="nofollow">Food Porn</A> from 2003 that has a quick overview of food writing from the last few decades and talks about how "the less people cook, the more money they spend on cooking appliances". The two articles together seem to suggest that we want to cook, be we want our results to be restaurant worthy, but we don't necessarily want to have to put in all the work that this entails. I'll have to think some more about this....Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953503728314023580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599583.post-1142855990984279742006-03-20T12:59:00.000+01:002006-03-20T12:59:00.000+01:00All very true.

When is a cooked sausage adequetely cooked to be deemed 'done' I wonder? If in doubt follow Ramsey's advice - if it's brown it's cooked, if it's black it's fucked.Ten-Bob Dylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782087505837464090noreply@blogger.com
