Just made my husband cry over cous cous

[TateWorm]

So DH came home rather tipsy from a night out, I was in bedroom watching TV with dogs as DC are at their dad's for the weekend.

I heard a thump from the kitchen, thought he may have just dropped a glass or something and been lucky.

Nope it was my cous cous (we have the Joseph Joseph podium containers) but I thought it was the quinoa.

The last thing I want to eat when I get home from the pub is cous cous. Maybe that's why he cried ?

[gingersausage]

On what planet are cous cous and quinoa middle class? That’s like saying pasta and potatoes are middle class 🤣. They are just food ffs. Honestly this place is batshit sometimes. As for JosephJoseph - why on earth would you pay £20 for what you can use empty ice cream tubs for? That’s not MC that’s MMTS (more money than sense).

Laughing at flouncyfanny’s link too. There was a message saying ‘20 people are looking at this now’. I am imagining the Argos web algorithm (or whatever it is) getting all excited about potential sales when really we all just followed Flouncey’s link.

I am also feeling sorry for Tateworm’s dog, wishing that Glitteredacorn’s scenario was right and a juicy kebab had fallen on the floor instead of nasty dry quinoa

I suggest training the dog Tateworm so it goes off to the pub with the keys in a nice pouch round his neck to pick up your DH after 2 pints.

This is a bit Sharonish.

@OLP2019 well left over pizza didn't fit in the Joseph Joseph containers so it had to be binned.

Wtf is op on about?

DP at 10am on Sunday last week said he was popping tot he shops and asked me what I want for lunch. I said to get some nice bread and whatever meat he fancies with some salad it’s and I’ll make sandwiches for lunch.
He said he didn’t fancy sandwiches so I said get whatever he fancies as I’m not too fussed.

He came home with BBQ pork loin chops, broccoli and new potatoes.

I said “for lunch?! That’s not lunch.. that’s dinner!”

He said he was thinking more of ‘Sunday Lunch’ like chicken/beef, gravy, roastie spuds. But that still does explain the fact he came home with none of those things and then actually wanted to eat it at 12:30pm.

I had to do a pole vote with our families in the end because we couldn’t stop bickering over what was lunch and dinner.

Are Joseph Joseph the brand you get in Lakeland where everything's a weird lime green colour? I've never understand the attraction

[Gazelda]

I've got flouncy's toilet brush I got sucked in when I saw it at the Ideal Home Show. We carried that and a 'revolutionary' mop back home on the Tube.

It's actually bloody excellent. I'll never go back to a bog standard brush.

But back to OP, I hope things are better this morning.

[MerryMarigold]

This is brilliant. Not only is it a non event. It's a branded non event!

The other day we ran out of Kleenex velvet loo roll. Then DH cried. PS. He was drunk.

[TheAnnoyingSatsuma]

‘‘Tis too early in the day for a drunk thread...or are you all gearing up for the rugby?

[cafenoirbiscuit]

Ok so I googled Joseph Joseph - I’m clearly Not Middle Class - and came across the blade brush. Terrifying. It reminds me of false teeth 😱

[MrsEricBana]

Ah but did he call is quin-oh-a or keeeenwaaah?

[pictish]

No idea what this anecdote was about either. Perhaps OP will fill us in later.
I am off to google THE Joseph Joseph podium containers.

[MrsEricBana]

If the former then LTB (but make sure you get custody of the Joseph Joseph Podium Containers and leave him with the old Tupperware that's in the cupboard. He'll adjust in time and maybe one day find happiness with some new containers)

[ArthurMorgan]

cafenoirbiscuit oh my god that looks like the Aliens little mouth!

[pictish]

I am back. They are very nice containers with a little tray to sit in. For a sleek, modern kitchen I’d say. They’d be wasted on my rabble of a kitchen.

I’m still not sure why there were tears over the couscous but jolly well done on the containers.

flouncy you are naughty!

[BillHadersNewWife]

Pictish where? On THE Argos?

[Nousernameforme]

Isn't quinoa really bad ethically now was he upset about the treatment of the people who farm it?
Not to mention the thought of all the nasty plastic chemicals leaching into your food from the containers.

[Pancakeflipper]

I knew a man whose wife cried all Mother's Day because he bought her the requested kitchen goodies she desired as a gift. But they were John Lewis own brand and not Joseph Joseph.

Appears Joseph Joseph makes you sob.

[Pancakeflipper]

@nousrnameforme.- its OK now as Adam in The Archers is harvesting quinoa . He looks after his staff. Been know to snog the occasional one.
