    There's quite a few recipes for slow cooked baked beans out there Joe. I think it might be worth a try...

    I draw the line at dumping a can of baked beans in my simmering stew.

    At least that would help with the lack of seasoning…

    Food doesn't have to covered in salt and pepper to make it edible.

    Its like the Thais covering everything with chilli and rancid rotten fish sauce.

    ^ That's what it needs, some MSG.

    Did the ex leave any Maggi sauce behind?

    Her stuff has long since gone.

    The stew is still simmering on low.

    I reckon this will be my finest soup ever without the aid of diabetes seasoning.

    Soup? Thought it started life as a curry or stew?

    And yeah, who needs seasoning or flavour? Obviously over rated!

    ^That looks really good, how was it?
    My mom used to have one of these. They are great for stews and soups. Now all the rage is the instant pot. I haven't made soup in a long time. Just too busy with work.

    Batch cook!

    Healthy meals ready to go in couple of minutes from the fridge freezer.

    Perfect for the busy women.

    That is what a crock pot is for. Busy people. Take your chicken parts and put them in the pot, add sliced onions, carrots, beans and potatoes. Season to taste, add water and turn it on. Come home 8 hours later and you have a fine healthy dinner. No more than 15 minute prep.

    Not trying to have a dig at you but, 15 minutes max is long to you? Especially for a meal you can eat 3 or 4 times if portioned up and frozen. Then your next meals have no prep at all, other than to bung the soup in a pot and heat it up.

    Um, you and willy etc, can fvck right off, you don't live my life. You don't realize how busy I've been over the past few months and I mean that with a new job i've had to mark, plan, and try to do laundry/cook etc in a two day weekend. So, ya I got out of making soup. Doesn't mean I don't eat healthy otherwise.

    A mate of mine invested in 30 cheap plastic containers cost a fiver.
    He'll spend one two hours once a month and make three x ten healthy high protein meals.

    Chilli con carne
    Chicken and vegetable soup
    Chicken and lentil curry.

    He then freezes them for the coming month.

    Each nutritious meal costs about 50 pence .

    They take a few minutes in the microwave, job done.

    A bit boring for me because I regularly like to mix it up in the kitchen and experiment.

    Batch cooking and freezing the likes of curries, soups and chilies.

    What an amazing and novel idea.


    Holy shiz. Could maybe even do it with a sauce for pasta too!

    ^chitty: be the change that you want to be

    @chitty - I sometimes enjoy seeing your experiments in the kitchen!

    As for batch cooking & freezing, I believe that Looper did it for this (in)famous fish pie surprise.

    If they prefer her cooking. If not after all you guys have been through, this one should be easy to work out.

    That's a very small niggle compared to all the shit you've been through.

    I'd take that on the chin coz it makes her happy cooking fresh every day plus it saves you a job.

    You'll never get a Thai/Lao women freezing, microwaving batch cooking.

    That's a job for you mate.
