Depends what you want to do with the chicken. I can ask DH when he gets home if you want. My "easy chicken" recipe involves going to M&S and following instructions which start with "pierce film lid".

How's this? His hands Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/07/2012 17:53

I don't think you can beat a good roast chicken. Half a lemon up its bum and some butter and olive oil rubbed into the skin.

Rather than the boring classic potatoes-and-veg accompaniment, how about some nice rice/quinoa/couscous with chopped spring onion, red peppers and herbs, and a yoghurt-based tzatsiki-type thing?

LetUsPrey · 15/07/2012 19:03

Do make sure the chicken's dead before the lemon goes up us bum otherwise that fecker'll peck your eyes out. Move over Delia.

How. Did. I. Not. See. It. In. Series. One.

Interested in this thread?

Ruined that slightly. Goes up its bum.

CaveMum · 15/07/2012 21:12

I know it's a Matt Smith post (but it's my thread dammit and I'll post what I like!), but how cute is this????

Apparently it happened at Comic-Con yesterday [melts]

Will be spending the morning fantasizing that that's my ring on his finger and he's giving me that look.

I was just going to post that link Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 16/07/2012 09:48

'before the lemon goes up us bum'. I read that to myself in a Derbyshire accent. Made me GrinGrinGrin

Christ, that picture's horny.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 16/07/2012 10:45

I know. It's the hips and the possibility of pocket pool.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 16/07/2012 15:46

I really need to stop checking the Cumberbuddy tumblr when the kids are up and about.

I mean, try explaining this to two five-year-old boys and why you're laughing hysterically while blushing.

holmessweetholmes · 16/07/2012 18:55

Hello fellow cumber-obsessives! Haven't posted for ages as I feared I might be neglecting rl in favour of constant staring and drooling. Loving all your latest links. I'll try to come up with some of my own soon. Meanwhile, dh is away for three nights... so that'll be all three episodes of Sherlock series 2 then Grin

holmessweetholmes · 16/07/2012 19:02

How about this ? Liking the neck.

LetUsPrey · 16/07/2012 19:13

What is this Real Life of which you speak?

Lickable neck Grin.

holmessweetholmes · 16/07/2012 19:19

Real Life? Not too sure, but in my case it seems to have 2 dc in it. Who apparently prefer me to be playing with them rather than licking staring at a computer screen. Bloody unreasonable if you ask me. Wink

Chez Addict
Monday Night And Full Of Gin

Dear Benedict

How about a Damn Good Shag

That Bloody Woman is driving me mad.

I need your body now

She has been in my house for half a day and has already insulted me, my family and my cooking. And I have no idea when - if ever - she is leaving.

I am still having incredibly filthy fantasies about you - how about trying some of them out?

Even her own son is refusing to speak to her.

Amazingly enough, Minimus has been driven so far as to tell her Not To Speak To His Mum Like That.

Perhaps she does have her uses.

Take me.

Take me away from all this.

The Addict

PS: Were you impressed by the way that, when I met you this weekend at the Cheltenham Poetry and Piano Festival - eat your heart out girls - I managed to refrain from (a) ravishing you on the spot (b) descending into a quivering wreck?

I do not think, however, that this necessarily prevented you from ravishing me on the spot. But thank you for admiring my Cabin Pressure T-shirt.

If only you had admired the filling of the T-shirt.

Key in the usual place. Please remember not to let the tortoise out.

xx

TheAddict · 16/07/2012 23:55

Please note girls: I really really did meet him at the end of the Poetry and Piano recital - and he is bloody gorgeous and such a gentleman!

And somehow I managed not to make a complete and utter fool of myself.

I am now the proud possessor of a signed photograph of the Mighty Cumberlord.

Although personally I could have killed Primus - even though he did somehow get me a long way ahead of the queue - for saying 'This is my Mum'.

But thank you BC for saying 'Surely not? You must have been a child bride.'

Melting Addict.

Totally Marshmallowy Melting Addict.

Did you get any photos?????

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 17/07/2012 08:14

TheAddict there are not enough Envy faces in the world to express how I'm feeling right now. I am so happy for you

But yes, did you get any photos?

TheAddict · 17/07/2012 08:47

No photos, I'm afraid - I didn't even know we were going there - Primus (bless his little cotton socks) took me to the event as a surprise treat, and the idiot, adorable child never thought to take a camera: and my mobile is an elderly brick without a photo function.

It was a lovely reading - World War One poetry and piano music composed in that era, and I shall never be able to read 'Pro Patria Mori' again without hearing BC's voice.

I wondered why Primus had insisted I wore 3" heels, but it brought me up to a reasonable height - just about the right height to nestle my head on BC's shoulder, actually, if I hadn't restrained myself - oh god, why did I restrain myself and the three of us chatted for a few minutes about the poetry and how beautifully he reads it and I said that it was so nice that after the way his career's taken off recently he's still doing things like the festival and BC grinned oh my god. he's got a beautiful grin and then Primus mentioned that I trained as a musician and we talked about Debussy for a few moments Jeez, he's so intelligent and that was it, really. And when we said, well, we'd better not monopolize him and thank you for the photo and for talking to us, he thanked us for going and said it was lovely to talk to us and sounded convincing

I was incapable of coherent speech all the way home.

CaveMum · 17/07/2012 09:16

Again with the Envy

Very pleased for you though Addict, no really. You've had a rough time with Minimus so it's great the Primus is looking after his mum Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 17/07/2012 09:42

Addict, glad to hear you had a marvelous. I would have been reduced to mush. And good on Primus!!

And for the rest of us, we can just watch this a few hundred times or until someone makes us stop.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 17/07/2012 09:43

...time. A marvelous time. Must stop MNing when DS2 is home sick. Stupid canker sore on the tip of his tongue that is making him oh-so-cranky. :(
