DS is having a little play date today, low key birthday “party” but DS doesn’t really do parties so it’s more of a gloried play date.
Yesterday I did some baking … 8 sausage rolls, 8 scotch eggs, 8 jam slags and 8 chocolate brownies.

Came down this morning and most of it is gone, I text DH asking if he’d touched the baking and he said yes, he’d taken it for work.

im fuming, isn’t it fucking obvious that they were for the kids for today?? He’s insisting that it was not obvious. This is not the first time he’s done something like this.

NowWhatUsernameShallIHave · 01/06/2024 18:38

id go berserk

Is a jam Slag like a jam tart only, tartier?
Like a next level tart?

diddl · 01/06/2024 18:45

Well on the back of this thread I was going to do some baking & I have no jam!

We used to make "thumb tarts".

Small ball of pastry, make indentation with thumb, blob of jam.

I do sometimes do a batch of baking but whenever I do I always say “there are some sausage rolls in the kitchen if you want to take some to work” … I don’t make jam slags etc though, imo they’re obviously for kids.

plus I was speaking to him last night and he asked if I was buying party snacks for today and I said “no, I’m baking for it instead” so it was obvious!!

(jam slags - like jam tarts but bigger with jam balls on top, my mum used to make them bless her)

@Birump Was it his birthday or something?
It might be he got the wrong idea because of that. Otherwise it is all extremely bizarre.

Your dh sounds like a self obsessed moron

that said, I’d like a jam slag!

dapsnotplimsolls · 01/06/2024 18:53

Your DH is an arse. Your Mum is a genius.

I suppose this is where communication can be quite helpful i.e. 'these are for the kids, please don't eat then'. Never assume anything.

It's funny how people who pick on communication issues always pick on the OP.

"Is all this baking for something special or can I take it to work?"

It was why I ased whether it was his birthday. A long shot but might have caused confusion.

Typical dick move by a man.

I’m intrigued by the Jam Slags.

And no he’s refusing to bring them back saying he’s busy and can’t be carting sausage rolls backwards and forwards. He’s 100% done it on purpose.

Too late now but if he were to ever do something like this again, I’d ring one of his colleagues (friendly child loving boss/gossipy receptionist preferably) and say that Dh had deliberately taken all the party food into the office, could they do you a favour and grab the food and stick it in a taxi to send it back seeing as dh had refused to and you have a load of kids turning up shortly that need feeding. And to make dh pay.

Emphasise how shocked and unset you were that he could do something like that to you and dc, doubly so knowing that it was dc’s birthday and that you had specifically discussed it/the party baking yesterday so he has no excuse for thinking that it was for him to take to work.

Play him at his own game so he looks an idiot for taking your baking in rather than looking good. Especially if you point out that you don’t think he would make that sort of mistake if it was work related rather than child/ family related!

What's a jam slag? Never seen these in Tesco before 🤔

Who makes 8 of these things? Are we into rationing? What the hell? This is bordering on Scrooge. It is not like it is caviar or oysters or whatever it is rich people eat. And I am not talking about the husband - what if kiddies wanted seconds? If you invite kids for a play date, the table has to be positively groaning with this stuff.

8 full size sausage rolls for 2 kids!! Plus the rest. Not enough?

MangosteenSoda · 01/06/2024 19:34

DH sucks. However, I’m delighted at the thought of you offering out jam slags whenever you have guests.

Anyone for a slag? Last slag up for grabs!

LostTheMarble · 01/06/2024 16:51

Why? Does he not have the capability to make his own lunch? Or does he do all the other cooking in return for your family?

WTF!!
some people bake because they enjoy it!
I don’t actually just do it for him specifically, if I do make anything it’s there for him to take to work!!

Wow, sounds like the op made a good effort, hardly rationing

Please ask your Mum how to turn a jam slag into a jam slut.

You said ‘I always bake for my husband’s lunch’, don’t get offended when that reads as literally as it does. You’re now backtracking by saying ‘I don’t do it specifically for him’.

I assume ‘jam slag’ is a typo? 🤣 But I’m curious (and hungry) now. And yes, H deffo knew it was for the party.

Tarts and slags, both similarly themed slang? They sound effin delicious either way, reckon I'd've ate them too 😂

Oooh can you imagine what a jam slut would be like??? Slut is generally considered as the gold standard of the loose wimmin world, so jam sluts would defo be off the scale tempting 😋😂

NasiDagang · 01/06/2024 19:53

Recipe for this Jam Slag please🙏
