She forgot the fucking chutney

Christmas is busy, I know, I know.

DH's sister is here. She has access to the most ambrosial aubergine chutney, homemade, by her MiL. Her MIL won't share the recipe but deigns to share some jars at Christmas. My jar is on SIL's kitchen table 350 miles away.

I can send her back to get it, can't I?

Phone the police non emergency line and report her.

I would go NC.

Obsidian I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that!

I do love pickles though. I'm tempted to go out and buy all kinds of pickles now. And this is why I should wait until later in the day to drink.

VegetablEsoup · 24/12/2015 17:04

she won't part with the recipe because she buys it and just refills it into manky jars.

timelytess · 24/12/2015 17:09

Your sister in law is out. We know that. So what we need is someone who can call round at hers and liberate the chutney...

It's a classic show of attention seeking on her part. That and totes ruining your Christmas. It's sent me into a tail spin because that's sounds bloomin' delicious. I've had to come to bed and take a moment with a medicinal Baileys and realign my chakra's.
I'm almost out off thinking about what takeaway to have later.......

Your SIL is a selfish, cocklodger (or vulva lodger?)

You know she's done this on purpose, don't you OP. Never, ever forgive her. Silently hold this against her forever more. She set out to ruin your Christmas and looks like she's winning.

PM where she lives. I'll sort her out for you and rescue your chutney.

On the plus side, at least you can sing your thread title to the tune of "Deck the Halls".

Waitrose do a good aubergine chutney.

SilverOldie2 · 24/12/2015 17:24

Aubergines are vile, she has done you a favour. Pop to the supermarket and get a jar of pickled walnuts - far yummier.

Mmmm, you'll never see it. Grin

DoctorTwo · 24/12/2015 17:45

Aubergine chutney? Fuck me, you dodged a bullet there.

Don't see that this is a problem. 700 miles round trip. If your forgetful SIL starts out now, at an average of, say, 60 mph, she will be back with your chutney in time for Christmas tea time. Sorted. Xmas Grin

I HATE aubergine, with a passion. So when we had aubergine in our veg box, I googled all kinds of other recipes for aubergine - and OMG...... my aubergine chutney is like heaven.

HEAVEN

But... never, ever make aubergine soup.

OddSocksHighHeels · 24/12/2015 21:50

I went a bit crazy when I was pregnant. Somebody recommended a pregnancy to induce labour that was basically aubergine and Parmesan. Do I tried to eat it. I hate aubergine so why did I do it??

There is an actual secret recipe you can google (not that secret obvs) that is some kind of aubergine chutney recipe. I know because I googled it once. Do that make her get the things and make it for you.
