Get a slow cooker. Buy a joint of meat, some root veg, spuds, bit of stock or sauce, sling the lot in, go do something for 6-8 hours, come back, EAT!!! If it hits the spot, go do something a bit more interesting for an hour or two
And if all else fails, sticky toffee pudding with double cream never fails to take the sting out of a f**ked up main course!!
