:)):)).....and I bet that as I'm a "Newbie" few will reply to MY thread.....Tony slinks away head bowed into the far horizon...(6)

p.s.I see what you mean..just one minute apart and that is probably the time difference between the 'burbs and East Dulwich:)

I've decided to reply to neither thread lest I appear to be favouring one over the other


oh wait... darn!


To answer the question, of the two of us I spend most of the time cooking. I also try and do the "tidy as I go" thing to avoid the worst excesses of cookageddon.

Well this thread is asking the question, ?Are you a gastro sexual?? whereas the other one seems to be exploring the nature of gastrosexuality. Although in any event it has already started to degenerate into 3rd rate jokes about sitting on egg whisks or having unfortunate accidents involving food processors.

I wouldn't call myself gastrosexual, though I am partial to a bit of cookwank (does that make me gastronanistic?), but to answer the question...finally...I do do about 95% of the cooking, but that's mainly because Mrs Mockers was a disaster in the kitchen.

She is growing in confidence though and now has a few dishes under her belt, including a rather mean jungle curry, sauce made from scratch and everything.

Do the lion's share in our kitchen. I wont brag though. Bland, monotonous oh-so-predictable stuff from me and that is the extent of my culinary aspiration. Making out in the kitchen, on the other hand, is nice from time to time, if that's what you're talking about.

cookageddon, I like it. Sounds exactly like what I used to face every evening after the ex cooked dinner. Would rather live on microwave meals than deal with that mess on a daily basis again!

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
