To have told DP to get off his fucking arse and go get the salmon terrine!!!

[Salmongate]

Lighthearted very serious ramble 🤣

So I am hosting Xmas. Getting xyz for all variants of catering needs and tastes.

The ONE bloody thing for ME is a Salmon Platter featuring a Salmon Terrine. This is very important!

Salmon Gate is very competitive on the shelves. Due to the short shelf life of salmon pates it’s a bit of military coordination.

There is one acceptable salmon pate in the country. I know I have tried everyone. In the dark hours of last eve I have been informed the 25th dated drop for that was 3am this morning. Apparently in good quantity so later today I will sidle down to secure the pate.

I have perused the terrine options. On my late night travels last night I have scoped out all the salmon terrine options and drop times/ quantities. My most preferred option of which is the M&S terrine; now available as of 10.30 this morning. We have a small store so competition is on; lest I have to trek ungodly distance!

I tell DP he needs to get up and be there for its opening. 10.30 comes and goes! I say you are skating on thin ice! GET OFF YOUR BLOODY ARSE. Raised voices may have been applied.

Anyway he’s just left. Will he secure the goods? Has he left it too late? Will I be touring the country later today?

Dear reader please send safe Salmon wishes. I actually do feel quite some stress about this 😅

Gosh, the tension! Got my fingers crossed for you OP. I’m off to M&S tomorrow and might have to look out for a salmon terrine. Sounds delicious!

Posting just to see if the salmon is purchased (unhelpful )

We make our own salmon terrine as you can’t buy anything decent.

I hear a car door…

I am on tenter(fish)hooks…

Update update. I'm riveted.

Not unreasonable at all. In fact I'd send him a text saying not to bother coming home unless it's with the salmon terrine. If you're not married I would also propose to him, just so you can remind him that without the salmon terrine he is at risk of being your future late ex husband.

🐟 🐟 🐟 🐟 🎄 did he get it OP we need to know!

I hope to god he's got that terrine.

HE GOT ITTTT!

And I have artfully presented it for you on the tree 😂 (because the kitchen/ fridge is a tip)

I'm scared for him if he is empty handed.

Yay!!!

Phew!

So happy for you! Merry Christmas to you and yours and no visit from the murder squad

Let joy be unconfined, your DH has redeemed himself !

Thank god. Divorce is messy.

🎄

OOh! We posted at the same time.

I have salmon terrine envy now. Especially the artistic way you have presented it.

BRAVO 👏👏👏

its a christmas miracle!!!

Ha that's amazing. And now he'll consider himself a hero all Christmas despite the fact you've done everything else

I’m so happy for you op. I love that too, and my dp doesn’t so I get it alllll to myself assuming I have managed to get my hands on some (some grannies may have been slung out of the way in the process. I care not a jot!)
Have a great Christmas.

Oh thank goodness!

I've made it too, it's a piece of piss if you've got a food processor.

However, I'm sure the OP has more than enough to do without that faff, so I think that if her DH fails to get one, he should be the one to make it.

Oooh that looks nice. I'm eyeing DP who is currently eating biscuits on the sofa and wondering whether he will go to to M&S for me..

I've got FOMO and need to get my own M&S salmon terrine now
