It’s just me, so would I BU to say fuck cooking, throw caution to the wind and have hot chocolate and a picky tea?

Picky teas are ace. There must be something ai;ling those voting YABU

TiggerOfThigh · 02/01/2021 19:07

@CranberryCaballe

The question is Twiglets or Pringles with your picky tea, or both.

I can eat a whole tube of Pringles in one sitting/mouthful. Pin on ‘smug an greedy’ badge

Just the 2 of us at home now. We try to have proper cooked meals, at the table all week. Saturdays is ding meals and wine, in front of the TV (especially now we can't go out) The paella from Aldi or Lidl is lush. Especially with a nice red wine.

I've just finished off the last of the Christmas Day turkey in a curry, followed by a bowl of ice cream. Delish.

Our Indian takeaway has just arrived.

AndcalloffChristmas · 02/01/2021 19:17

Yanbu to have it OP.

But I thought “picky” was a (rightly) banned word on MN? Grin

DH is currently fetching a Thai take away. No one could be arsed cooking tonight.

"WTAF? Nunia OF COURSE it's picky tea/bits!!

It's actually a thing!"

It's actually a disgusting phrase though!

ElDanglio · 02/01/2021 19:22

Andcall I want picky to be unbanned!

It's sums up living my best life for me!

NO!!!

It is a completely fantastic and wonderful turn of phrase! The variety it conjures up!!

I am almost romantically in love with 'Picky'

Yes agree. That’s what fingers were made for, picking up food and cramming it in the gob. Picky teas for ever, every single meal, puts fingers in bowl of soup and realises doesn’t always work.

Oh Cranbury thank heavens! A voice of reason!

dementedma · 02/01/2021 19:31

Will you all stop using the word "picky"? It makes me think of scabs 🤢

TheScurrilousFunge · 02/01/2021 19:32

Twirlers are rank. They are vomit in a twig-shaped crisp.

TheScurrilousFunge · 02/01/2021 19:32

What is a twirler?! Autocorrect is a CUNT.

There used to be a shop in my town called Pick N Pay. I got my first knock-off Tamagotchi from there. You wouldn't have liked it but it was great!

But picky bits are not scabs, they are bits of cheese and meats and crisps and maybe the odd gherkin but never will you see a scab feature upon MY picky platter!

It's just not even a thing! Hmm

AlwaysLatte · 02/01/2021 20:01

Saturdays is ding meals
OK, new question: ding meals, anyone?

TheScurrilousFunge · 02/01/2021 20:03

What is a 'ding' meal?!

ElDanglio · 02/01/2021 20:09

Is it a meal of dingos?

TheScurrilousFunge · 02/01/2021 20:10

It could be a meal of dingos. With chips.
