A local father of two has caused a serve case of rolled eyes this evening after making the bold claim that he’s “actually a pretty good cook.”
The statement came as Darren (52) and his family gathered around the dining table to enjoy a delicious home cooked meal made by his wife, Lisa.
“I actually used to do a lot of the cooking before you kids came along,” Darren remarked with a mouth full of shepherd’s pie.
“We wouldn’t know,” replied his kids, bemused by the claim.
“Bullshit,” Darren chirped.
“What about that spag bol I made the other week?” He said, referring to a dish that came from a jar.
“Or that chocolate cake for your mother’s birthday last year.”
Darren shook his head in defiance before returning to his meal.
“This feels a lot like when he told us he averaged 45 playing in the ones,” Darren’s son told our reporter.
“I wipe the pitch with him when we play backyard cricket.”
“He’s so full of shit.” said his wife Lisa.
“We installed a new oven earlier this year, I doubt he even knows how to use it.”
However, Darren has vowed to add to his two-recipe repertoire in the coming weeks.
“I do enjoy cooking,” he said as he unbuckled his belt and sank into the couch.
“It’s just a shame work’s so busy at the moment.”
More to come.
