Cousin Matthew Returns with the Robbing Butcher

[TheMustressMhor]

A thread intended for menus, cats and idle chit-chat.

Cannot decide if this is enough for dinner:

roast chicken

oatmeal and garlic stuffing

roast onions

roast carrots

roast potatoes

Yorkshire puddings

gravy

What do you think?

Mus it sounds really nice! You and your dh sound quite gourmet !
Did you manage to dispatch the pink gin?

Bloody hell jeff I have to pretend the pink gin is lovely, just to get it down.

Ugh.

And nobody would describe DH and I as gourmet. Greedy, yes.

@ilovejeffgoldblum

I have sent you a PM.

Mustress I think it’s the right amount of food, it will leave some space for dessert.

Oh bugger.

I never thought about dessert.

Maybe a packet of chocolate raisins?

Well desserts here are mashed banana or mango in plain yogurt so...

That said earlier I scoffed two giant chocolate chip cookies whilst hiding in the kitchen and I almost regret them.

Mur 👍

Curly 😐

Lol Curly I saw that. It seems many lurkers are put off by several posters, who increasingly appear more and more aggressive while constructing a victim narrative.

Bit of a tag team .

I've just been looking through my dried herb store to find cayenne pepper for cheese scones, immediately followed by flinging the majority of the jars in the bin as out of date. One dated as far back as 2013 😱. The shame!

Cheese scones!! How about smoked paprika?

@WendyMoiraAngelaDarling

Reminds me of the

Mustard in the mix enhances the taste of cheese

Definitely putting mustard in. No smoked paprika sadly. Maybe we will just make sweet ones this week and cheese next week as I do like to have the little enhancements or what's the point?

Ooh yes. I always add mustard to cheese sauce.

I did my cupboards before Christmas, I was shocked I actually had cans that were out of date!
One pie filling had leaked from a can ! Can you believe it?

You should have started a thread about your leaking tin ilovejeff.

You would have had a wonderful response on AIBU, with half the posters telling you they would still have eaten the contents of the tin and the other half telling you off for buying tinned stuff in the first place.

A small side-group would have pointed out that they clean all their cupboards daily, so would never have encountered tins that were out of date.

I have many, many out of date items. Next year's Christmas puddings were bought LAST January. I can guarantee they will be delicious.

I am very embarrassed mur , to be fair I'm very short and it was top cupboard, to reach I have to boost up and sit on counter, so I don't do it often as you can tell ! . Not brave enough for aibu! I'm a wuss😀

My my puddings were also last years! Although I did find older ones

Do you know , this is the most I have posted in 10 years of being a member!

Normally im off wrangling naughty kids!
( I'm ignoring their behaviour at the mo, bad mum alert!)

Ditto, ilovejeffgoldblum!
Although my DS is at uni now, so no mum guilt
