To snigger at my bitchy neighbour?

[muggglewump]

I get on OK with my neighbours, but they are bitchy, I know that, and I know they talk about me behind my back.
When I say 'they', I mean next door and her family. Her, both her sisters and Mum live in the street, in separate houses.

Anyway, earlier I warned her I was having a barbecue, by that I mean for DD and I, not inviting people over, but her washing was on the line so only fair to tell her.

I've just overheard her on the phone saying, 'and then she put on slices of cheese, who barbecues cheese'?

FFS it was halloumi.

I know I shouldn't, but it made me laugh.

How funny - like that Catherine Tate sketch. "Cheese? Barbequed cheese? The dirty bastards"

I love Halloumi. And your FFS it was Halloumi post made me giggle!

Peas.
Genious, yes next time I'll do them.
I can hear it now, 'she's putting small green balls on there, surely they can't be edible, there's no tin involved'?

I'd cook for you any time, I'm a fabulous cook.
It's one of mu favourite things to do, that and ironing.

mugglewump, marry me?

Next time, bring a live piglet into the garden, chase it round the garden, slaughter and skin it, and cook it in a fire pit.

Then they'll really have something to talk about.

...never heard of Halloumi...bloody heathens...

Sure.
When's the wedding

Make slits in an unpeeled banana and push some squares of chocolate in, wrap in tin foil and place in embers of BBQ. YUM! Melty chocolatey banana-y goo! Even better, put in chocolate AND marshmallows!

We did that Galena, only with chocolate, no marshmallows.
I had cream on mine.

You've got to get a lobster. Aldi do cheap ones.

Muggle - I love cooking as well. Dh is Syrian so try to do Syrian dishes - they are bloody yummy!!

I think lobster on the BBQ would be

A nice salmon fillet with a green salsa dressing, half a pepper filled with goats cheese, cherry tomatoes and garlic, then barbecued peaches with honey and clotted cream. That should give her something to talk about

Lobster wold freak them out. A nice fresh blue lobster.

Having neighbours can be a pain can't it. Our next door neighbours (terraced house, close gardens!) have been away for a month - it's been bliss not feeling you are being listened to all the time (the other side are often out!).

its great being able to laugh at neighbours

my nosey neighbour decided to call the council when we put our bin bags out (in the gated entry) the morning of the day before the collection instead of the night before we were going out and wouldnt be back until very late and would more than likely forget to do it when we got back! they were in no way in her way and had little food waste in so n ot smelly etc so i have no idea why she reported us!

DH is a bit of a busy body and reported her right back for putting A COUCH out in the entry she has a problem with 2 bin bags but household furniture fly tipping is A-OK in her book!! hypocrites are the WORST

Hijack:
Wineonafridaynight, what happened with the swatches?

OP, have you got my neighbours? .

We had a BBQ Saturday and DP BBQed a whole duck, and some goat cheese, wonder what your chav woman next door would make of us

Barbecued provolone cheese is lovely too.

I also barbecue peaches.

Fortunately I have no neighbours.

We've done it was fantastic. Slight lesson learned about not closing the lid unless you want a fat fire explosion though!

Done duck sorry!

We had a mushroom fire, when idiot Ex BIL pored oil over the mushrooms that were on the BBQ

Flipping hell, a whole duck?
My barbecue is about the size of a saucer, a duck wouldn't fit on it.

Salmon steaks with salsa verde, and kind prawn skewers next time I barbecue.
Given where I live, it'll be next year, but still, nothing wrong with planning in advance

Kind?
How on earth can a prawn be kind?

King Prawns!

When we first got married and moved in to our first home (a ground floor flat) DH brought home bricks to build a BBQ when we moved out almost 5 years later the bricks (still not built in to a BBQ) were stacked in to the moving van, he has lived in the new house 14 years and the bricks are still not a BBQ as yet!
