How do I cook this roast?

If you were doing a bottle of red wine spilling a dash into Mr Ixions gravy recipe would go well too.

I am not an enthusiast of red wine in gravy. use sauces and herbs in your gravy, drink the wine. If you do wish to add wine, it should be sherry wine.

Some folk like to add some mushrooms,peeled.

In that case the obvious response to your first post should have been "send a PM to Mom"

And don't overcook it... a bit pink in the middle is good.
It will be drier than Ghandi's sandals if you roast it too long

...all the other guys are hoping their wives will read it so that don't get that stringy leather boot meat and soggy biscuit potatoes again for dinner.

Don't mind her up there...you boys are doing quite well on your own.

So far I have out it into a ceramic oven dish and added a small layer of water. Aything else I need to do?

I'd ask one of the neighbours round for dinner.... If they cooked it.

If there is any left over, have it for lunch tomorrow, cold beef and onion sandwiches.

roast tray...place in roast tray half cup of water...tin foil over the top..sealing the edges...poke four small holes in tin foil...cook at 175 degrees [pre heat oven]...35mins per 500 grams as a general rule......take tin foil off for lasxt 15mins.

Every young man, and certainly every biker, should know how to cook, and how to sew.

It's all part of self sufficency, of not having to rely on someone else. You're not a man if you can't fend for yourself

It's a disgrace that these things are not taught in schools.

The minimum curriculum in schools should include English, arithmetic,cooking, sewing, metalwork, woodwork, history and Latin. For girls and boys.

What do kids get instead? crap like 'media studies'.

To quote my Mum:

"It is a parents job to work themselves into redundancy"

Bring your kids up so they don't need you. Doesn't get much simpler than that does it?

Back in the olden days the girls got taught sewing and cooking while the boys got woodwork and metal work, no choices back then. I learned the valuable skill of sewing wait for it...

a pillowcase, followed closely by a bibbed apron of all things! No stereotypes there eh? Though the next few years we were actually allowed to branch out and sew clothes that we could wear, we still learned how to bake scones. Still the boys got to make all these cool things.

I got to High School and all the way to 6th form (year 12) and low and behold we got to chose something called electives. I chose engineering! Only girl in the class! Absolutely loved it. I made a minature steam engine. Used a lathe and learned how to braze, got to do all manner of things. My girl friends thought I was mental, somethings never change I guess.

These days it is actually much better, well at our local school anyway, both boys and girls get to do all the options. I dont think it is the schools job to teach kids to cook really. Yes give them the basics, but teach them at home. All my kids cook, and bake.
