And complained to me that it was a bit greasy.

Sigh

the fuckwit has eaten the fatballs made by the children in a park last week and left in the fridge to solidify.

I have no idea what culinary delight he thought they were supposed to be.

I wouldn't mind but he was there when they made them!

I thought it was going to be a toddler at the 'put everything in my mouth' stage... not a fully grown man.

Lard needs quite a bit of heat to render it out of the meat so it's sure to have been well cooked. And fat balls don't make wildlife sick so your DH may escape unscathed.

My neighbour puts fat balls out for the birds - a squirrel keeps stealing them and eats them sat on the fencepost, and once I saw it burying one in our lawn. Its a fat, happy squirrel.

My dog ate a fat ball once (her excuse = she's a dog). The resulting diarrhoea had to be seen to be believed, and (sorry to those eating breakfast) because it was so greasy it shot out of her like a bullet from a gun Grin

Oh Termagent! GrinGrinGrin

Oh dear op, what have you married?

Keep a close eye on your dc - just in case they have inherited the fat loving genes.....!

GerundTheBehemoth · 06/03/2014 08:23

OldLady, you shouldn't use grill pan/roasting tin scrapings or other cooked soft fats in fatballs, they can damage birds' plumage, and are often also salty - garden birds can't really tolerate salt. Lard/suet all the way for the birds.

Grill pan scrapings are fine for husbands and partners though :)

Is he preening himself? Does he regard this as a feather in his cap? He should be treading on eggshells after that performance. Try him on a chorus of The Birdy Song. etc etc.

Degustibusnonestdisputandem · 06/03/2014 08:19

I'm sorry, but I'm having a damned good chuckle at this!

Catsmamma · 06/03/2014 08:18

what a ninny!

and yes...i need a string update.

Termagant · 06/03/2014 08:16

This Is Just to Say

I have eaten
the fat balls
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for the birds

Forgive me
they were weird
so nutty
and so greasy.

Apologies to wcw!

This made me shake with laughter so much the dog trying to sleep on my lap is giving me filthy looks! Grin

It really needs to be in classics.

MissMalonex2 · 06/03/2014 07:55

Reading this in train to work, snorting and in tears. Shock Think there will be more to this story - not enough time for the fatball to have worked his way through his system yet

Northernlurker · 06/03/2014 07:53

I can see why we have all flocked to this thread. I fear you are not out of the nesting box yet OP. Your dh may yet come home to roost unwell and have to perch for some time in the bathroom.

magicalmrmistoffelees · 06/03/2014 07:52

Reading this thread has brightened my day after being up since 2am with a teething, snotty baby! Thank you

KaFayOLay · 06/03/2014 07:47

Hilarious!
Just imagine going in for a smooch after that Shock

TheCunkOfPhilomena · 06/03/2014 07:39

PAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh what a great tit indeed! Grin

CambridgeBlue · 06/03/2014 07:38

I have to know what he thought the string was for! Thanks OP (and OP's dozy DH), you have really cheered up my morning :)

diddl · 06/03/2014 07:38

OMG!

I';d have to LTB!

headlesslambrini · 06/03/2014 07:36

I need to hear about the string as well

SomethingAboutNothing · 06/03/2014 07:35

Brilliant Grin

NymodigFruOla · 06/03/2014 07:33

Fatballs washed down with whiskey Shock?
Words fail me Grin

GerundTheBehemoth · 06/03/2014 07:31

Maybe today he'd like a bowl of mealworms :D

IceNoSlice · 06/03/2014 07:28
