As I know I'm not being unreasonable to a) have my fire lit; b) have a huge glass of red wine; and c) an entire packet of grilled halloumi for my tea.....

go for it

I've the fire and wine, but god damn it I've no cheese.

Jealous

You lost me on the grilled halloumi. Now a nice slice of cheese (cheddar) on toast......

I think the peppa pig melamine bowl it's served in is a stroke of genius too #heathen

Oooh, will have the wine later and had (whispers) baked feta for lunch but no fire and halloumi is far better

Nike - I have cheddar and proper mucky thick sliced white.....my supper is sorted now

Baked feta?? LittleB, tell me more......

Much better! If you cut the crusts off afterwards and eat them separately buttered then you'd be in supper heaven

YNBU as I'm a very happy peasant

1. central heating on
2. Bacardi & coke
3. dinner from chip shop

Guess it's time to get winter stuff out of storage

OP,

(a) How lovely...am very envious of a real log fire crackling away.
Get those candles lit, too

(b) Am more of a person myself, but enjoy your .
Is your "huge glass" like the one pictured here?

(c) Mmm, grilled Halloumi (said in tone of Homer Simpson's "Mmm, donuts").

Sounds like your weekend's off to a cracking start...hope the rest of it proves equally nice.

Kween - chip shop tea is an awesome start to the weekend add in a Bacardi and I reckon you're winning at life

Stevie - got my Bombay sapphire all set up to accompany my pudding of mint matchmakers

Ps: just lit my st eval sea salt candles 😍

Put feta in foil with thyme and a dash of olive oil. Bake for 20mins. Eat with spoon side salad and bread

As long as you're not eating that feta with broadbean stew, it will be lovely

It's too early for wine here and too warm for a fire but I have Diet Coke, a swimming pool and 2.5 hours till the kids come home from school.

I would sadly love some mint matchmakers though.

OP,

Can you be my new friend? We have much in common...
(I'd bring over my new was in half-price sale so was (ahem) FORCED to buy box of 10 assorted mini gins to share).

LittleB, as luck would have it, I bought some thyme and feta today....alas, no salad, but mucky white bread in abundance 👌🏼👍🏼

Stevie: You're clearly my new BFF if you've got (lots of) mini gins?? Where did you find such manna???!!! 😍

Cavenda, I'm ignoring you as I'm immensely jealous of your swimming pool..... how hot is it with you?? I'll bet it's not as hot as my living room 😅😂

It's quite cool today only 28 degrees (I bet that didn't help at all)

If it makes you feel better we were recently shut in the house for a week due to Harvey so I'm particularly enjoying the sunshine and garden today.

and now really, really want some matchmakers

Wine and halloumi is the food/drink combo of the gods, I tell you!

I am on glass of wine number 2 3 and am listening to Prince, for some reason. It's working for me

Cavender, I'm going to let you off if you've being in the midst of a hurricane!! If you pm me your address I'll post you some matchmakers as I can't bare(bear??!!!) the thought of someone not able to access the magesty of matchmakers

In a similar dilemma - what should I have for tea? In dire need of comfort food - preferably some kind of pasta with cheese/cream/pancetta etc. And wine. Don't really want to cook though (am I being horribly lazy?) Any inspiration please?

(Sorry to hijack your thread OP! Halloumi sounds amazing!!)
