I'm not much of a cook but I'm trying to get better so tonight, armed with Rod's blog instructions for cooking a pork shoulder, I decided to show Mr DCM what a domestic goddess I could be when I tried.
The roast looked amazing and I was about to congratulate myself when Mr DCM started shouting at me to stop as I was poised to pour the gravy on as he said it strongly smelt of coffee. It turns out I'd absent mindedly put instant coffee in instead of gravy granules - I wondered why it was so thin! Thankfully he noticed before I ruined our dinner but it didn't stop me feeling like a right idiot!
The dinner was perfect (thanks for the pork instructions Rod) but thanks to my coffee trick (which Mr DCM is still laughing about) I don't think I'm going to get the domestic goddess title anytime soon. I will be checking labels much more carefully in future!
