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.

Have to be honest, I got a Joseph Joseph spice/salt/pepper grinder as part of a promotion with my new toaster. It was an ugly, plasticky thing but it grinded really well. Sadly, the lid and grinding mechanism broke apart after about three months. The other grinder from Ikea grinds on after a decade.

So there concludes my review of Joseph Joseph.

I don't think I've ever read anything quite so middle-class.

I still don't know why he cried...

I don't think I've ever read anything quite so middle-class.

Or so cringingly try-hard.

I clicked on the argos toilet brush too 😂
Anyway, must dash, bit of an emergency here...
Help!! My son (the surgeon) is drowning!!!

Margot 😂 Off you go darling.

Joseph Joseph - lots of ugly, wanky plastic items that are overpriced and a pain to use.

Have seen many of them in various broken states in the sales and TKMaxx. By the time you have worked out how to use them you may as well give up.

I'm lying in bed under my John Lewis bedding in my White Company nightshirt sipping a mug of Clipper tea reading MN on my Apple ipad...

Nah, life's too short to post like this, OP!

If only you had been wearing your Mahabis slippers instead of having bare feet.

I think the OP was laughing at herself...a what has become of us, crying over spilt quinoa.

Wtf is this post

Better get meself down to Argos Argos for that loo brush. Thanks guys 🙌🏻

Quinoa is the waning star of heritage grains, OP.

Artisanal spelt is where it's at.

Hmm. I don't have any plastic containers, nor cous cous or quinoa. Ive got polenta, brown rice, aduki beans, lentils, chickpea flour etc. In old coffee or other glass jars.Class me

Gazela
The mental picture of you on the tube has tipped me over the edge.

CampfireZen I know! quinoa! sooo over now. Bless you OP, it's spelt now, darling. Do keep up!

My question is ...... who comes home with post drinks munchies and thinks 'mmmm I could murder a bowl of quinoa' ?

Just had a quick google as I'd never heard of Joseph Joseph. £35 for a set of 5 tubs. Such luxurious Tupperware

Does anyone have any links to the original Sharon threads?

Hope he swept it all up and stopped crying and apologising OP. A really drunk man apologised to me over 25 times once when he spilt a tiny splash of beer (a waitrose session pale ale) on me.

Argos sell Joseph Joseph. I know this because I got the knife block from there. So not as middle class as you might think.

Sorry just caught up-there’s a loo brush?

20 quid for a loo brush that no one needs anyway

Oh dear.

Someone needs a job, hobby, life.

Well thank you OP, because I have similar Joseph Joseph dried goods storage containers and I was worried that they'd break if I dropped one and it seems that they don't and all that you have to worry about is cleaning up a load of quinoa/cous cous/bulgar wheat etc etc.

I know they are expensive but they are lovely and the tops on mine match the kitchen cupboards exactly. I dithered for days about buying them because even at considerably less than RRP on Amazon they are still £££s for what they are and I'm glad I've never had the conversation with DP about how much they were because he's very much from the 'ow much' school of Yorkshire finances.

But I suspect that he knows they were expensive because they are so very lovely.

who comes home with post drinks munchies and thinks mmmm I could murder a bowl of quinoa

That's what I want to know too. I'm now thinking that the OPs DH could be the man that we used to live next door to who set his flat on fire more than once by coming home pissed, starting to cook and then falling asleep while he was waiting.
