I'd have a long wait... he's due to land just after midnight. And thinking about it I don't think he's cooked dinner since we arrived in Dubai just the odd weekend breakfast. I'll have to issue instructions!

Oh, you're not very lucky then, many French men I know think they are better cooks than I, and I'm not about to disabuse them.. :) Oh, he can cook, but not better than me! And to be fair to him, I have to admit that he works 12 hours a day and I don't work :cool::cool: That's us! ;)

Apparently, mine is just about capable of clearing the dinner table, after having been shouted at, but cannot manage to put dishes in dishwasher and certainly not start the dishwasher off. It's much too complicated for him, he's an aeronautical engineer.

Don't tell Cyclone T but we had 800 PIZZA last night. Frickin' wonderful. And I had the molten chocolate for dessert :D. Oooh! I wonder if they deliver to No Man's Land! Calling now! ETA they don't deliver here. However, they did have my name on file with my old work address so it appears I have had it before! <em>edited by CanadianInDXB on 06/03/2011</em>
