How are you going to scale recipes without algebra?
The joy of seeing another family use a timeline for a roast ❤️
Kind of like Rainman, after twenty years of making Sunday lunch, this all comes without thinking or planning at all. It’s just muscle memory at this point.
Fuck that every Sunday.
I think it’s more likely that most people just somehow manage to make a Sunday dinner without writing a thesis on it, rather than this being proof of algebra lessons paying off.
Beefy? Am I reading that right? Beefy?
Perhaps it’s cooking class you should have paid more attention in
If you cook it every Sunday then why do you still need to write it all down?? I cook a roast for the family every Sunday and I just go straight into autopilot mode.
Is that a giraffe with its hands up in surrender?
You need a Gantt chart and a project manager, not maths
Beefy out
Snap! I taught my 14yo daughter how to make a roast chicken & trimmings. Our kitchen whiteboard looked exactly the same!
You don’t need maths for this, just time and a modicum of consciousness. I do write my timings on a little card though, why not make a plan. It lets me sit on the sofa with wine during the planned gaps without having to think about it.
Needs moar giraffe
This is really project management rather than maths but I find doing things this way defo helps prevent critical missed items and deadlines !
You’re making this way more than it should be.
Make your Yorky tm m batter a couple of hours in advance, ideally the day before and put it in the fridge. Your results will be even better.
I have a spreadsheet xD plug in the weight and when you want to eat, and it works out the timings for you.

If you were having sprouts with your Christmas dinner, you put them on to boil on Bonfire Night.
17:15 – Yorky Butler rest.
You have a butler, you don’t need to do maths either.
Not sure if he’s earned a rest by now but whatever works for you
1800hrs service, on a sunday?
Can’t wait to eat some roast bepsy
This is me on Christmas Eve, from defrosting stuff to morning prep. I utterly adore spending Christmas Day on my own, I can eat what I want, when I want, and pair it with a half pint glass of a White Russian a with salted caramel liqueur.
Not that I’ve been planning this year’s decedent feast for one 🙂 So looking forward to 2 weeks off work.
My parents have a list like this for Christmas Day. As it’s roughly the same dinner every year, the sheet of paper goes in a box with the Christmas cards to be used each year.
People laughed at me when I drew a gantt chart to manage which meat went in which oven when making Christmas dinner
Then I single handedly made an entire Christmas dinner for six adults, said it would be on the table at 1:30 and it was on the table at 1:34, when most of the guests expected it to be half an hour late because “that’s what always happens”
Fuck that. Do it all by eye whilst drinking a million cans. Class.

Shame handwriting passed you by
I can’t deal with how late this roast is. I do mine at lunch time and everyone is still full at tea time.
I can’t wait to read your bathroom schedule.
Keep me updated! I writhe in anticipation of the inevitable.
Out of interest mind breaking down your formula and what it’s doing? Can’t quite make out some of what’s written down.
