J'Accuse... I do not believe a sizeable minority on here when they say "I blah blah blah"

[Salmotrutta]

E.g. :-
"I cook from scratch" - I hate "from scratch". We used to say "everything was homemade".

And those of you who state "homemade potato wedges" ? ...yeah, I'm impressed. So that would be some potatoes shoved in the oven then?

And for what it's worth my dd had sausages and chips for dinner and I am working my way through my body weight in m&s prawn based Chinese starters.

For extra horror value the sausage and chips was in a pub.

I don't see what is smug about "cooking from scratch" not a phrase I would ever use in RL. Particularly for somebody like me who does not have much else to do.

I'm having a scratch because I've got an itchy arse

I like it when people tell you that there's more sugar in raisins than Haribo, by weight. Like this proves healthy eating is nonsense and re-brands Tangfastics as health food.

I cooked a meal for one from scratch for my tea. I took it out of the box, shoved it in the microwave and everything! Go me!

Lamb dalesteaks and potato croquettes on a Tuesday.... I could go on.
I'm still here 40 years later.
All without scratch cooking.
And only a size 8/10.

I like cooking. I also like not cooking. The one constant is that I like eating.

I didn't drink juice. Not as a child or as an adult by some devil gave my dd it so she started to ask for it. Now I am quite partial actually.

We made guacamole from scratch tonight

BOOM BABY!!!!!!!!

(Did not make the Doritos from scratch )

I hear ya OP.

Something that really gets on my tits is "blah blah slightly trivial problem with DH/DC/IL but bothering me nonetheless" and you get wanky replies about "well what did you do?" Or "you seem to have too much time on your hands to worry about such trivialities, have you thought about volunteering for a charity?!" and my least favourite "maybe they have SN" Nope some people are actually cunts.

I mean WTAF? Who actually says these things in RL, because I've never met anyone who has

Can I come and hide on this thread please? The juice thread made me lose hope in humanity.

When I asked DD what she wanted for her birthday lunch she chose spinach.

The best, best, best, best food police smuggery on here was someone claiming they drive 50 miles every week (on top of their high powered job, natch), so that their little darlings can have freshly-caught fish instead of that frozen rubbish.

Also, I like the threads full of denunciations of breakfast cereal. Food of the devil, apparently.

Sanctimommy is brilliant, though.

Never mind the rest of this thread -what is a ketchip and where do I find one????

Some days I am that saintly person who goes wild foraging (naked) and gain all my vitamins from raw food and the organic saliva of virgins.

Most days, however, I feast on McCains oven chips and baked beans with a side of Walkers salt & vinegar crisps.

I even sewed a button on once.

Every crochety bugger over 50: ooh, they might have early dementia?

I may have just hammered in the last nail for Random

RJ Ketchips

I have started to see "hand cut chips"

Appear on menus.

Wankers.

I'll eat any old rubbish, but ketchips sound too much even for me.

Total insomnia last night. Sent dh out to hunt and gather bacon rolls and coffee after I managed a short nap. Took ds to park and fed him a very small sandwich and very large flapjack at the sandwich shop (I had gingercake and coffee SO THERE) because dh is writing to a deadline. Stopped at M&S and bought stuff to heat for dinner. Nodded off, some got very, very well browned. Bribed DS with shortbread so he ate it anyway, he counterbribed me to let him have apple instead of brussels sprouts. Fine. Whatever.

Ds in bed.
Pets fed and watered
Cup of sleep inducing tea drunk
i'm off to bed.

Don't start me on cereal, it's just SHIT IN A BOX.

I like to read posts on here and feel the sanctimony rise, it get my toes tingling & it rises through me, like a righteous fire, my fingers vibrate with the keyboard crusade I am about to embark on.

I then open another beer (made from scratch natch - we own a brewery), and light a fag. In the house.

HOW D'YA LIKE THEM APPLES.

I lost the will to live after just a few posts on the juice thread.

"What juice do you buy for your children?"

"Milk or water"

Thick cunts...

I find the extensive no contacting of relatives weird. I would be the fist to say I am not close to any of my family but to declare myself 'no contact' seems intense. I just generally don't call. It's not a thing.

I buy high juice for my PFB. From aldi. I actually went and checked the ingredients earlier. Made me wince and smile with equal measure.

I might make myself go back through that thread to see if there was any actually useful advice
