Fish and Chips

July 30, 2025 12:21pm CST
Neither Yvonne or indeed me could be bothered cooking tonight So in a moment of inspiration I picked up my phone And phoned the Chip Shop 200 yards along the road I ordered a Fish Supper for me And a Macaroni Pie supper for Yvonne And 10 minutes later the food arrived I am so glad that we both could not be bothered cooking Can you be bothered cooking. Will you phone a takeaway

I get into that mood occasionally and look through the fridge for leftovers.

@jstory07 It's a Jumbo Haddock Costs a bit more than a Standard Haddock But well worth it

Aye. It's not difficult though. Get the oil temperature correct and the battery correct and job done

Some days you just don’t feel like cooking. I do order takeaway sometimes too, so much easier when you just want to relax.

The only thing I ever have delivered are pizza and Chinese food. I wish more places offered delivery, and even though there's GrubHub and DoorDash and things like that, I won't pay the extra fees for it.

@Ineeddentures I've used it and found it to be almost twice the cost when all is said and done. It's convenient. But I just don't want to pay the extra. At least with the pizza and the Chinese I pay a small delivery fee and tip, but the cost is the same as in the store.

I don't blame you for not paying the extra fees. They only charge £2 for delivery here It's not a bad service to be fair

If my husband and I don't want to cook, we prefer to go out to have a meal since it'll taste better than delivery. Since many kinds of restaurants are around and it's convenient.

Yes dear, I also did of what you are doing, "cause it takes time of cooking while everybody are tired and need food. We can call an order here by calling the riders of Panda for McDonalds food that we ordered, also Jollibee treats here, some French fries and chicken nuggets that we love to eat too.
