get one, I have man fl and am trying to decide what I want to eat, it is between pizza and rustic chips cobvered in grated chesse and ketchup.
What di yiu think?

twoluvlykids · 12/11/2008 17:15

send out for it now!!!!

and enjoy.

curry - it's kill or cure if you're unwell, usually cure!

misshardbroom · 12/11/2008 17:16

No, YANBU.

But YABVU for mentioning it because now I really, really want one.

I told dh we are having pizza tonight and he said 'but it's not Saturday'

Twims · 12/11/2008 17:18

so quick and easy

PavlovtheCat · 12/11/2008 17:21

thesockmonsterofdoom - both, clearly . If you are only allowed one, would have to be the chips and cheese.

posie - LOL!

We don't usually get take away on a school night as it is lousy on Mondays and tuesdays, but I am sure wednesdays are fine....

It is not so much I don't want to cook, as DH will do that hapily, its more that it is what I fancy and my appetite has been crap. Yesterday I ate an entire tub of cheesy mash as that is what I fancied . And a ton of lucozade.

Get a curry, you jammy fucker

[dreams]

[looks at vegetarian chilli just cooked for mine and DP's supper with disdain]

PavlovtheCat · 12/11/2008 17:23

Twims - that does look nice, but it means 1) going to shops for ingredients 2) getting Dh to cook it 3) not having all the shite in it that makes take-aways so tasty! 4) it is not dansak or Green chilli massala!

But I have book marked that page for another time

We are going to be good...we are just going to get two main dishes and 4 poppadom. We will do rice ourselves, have chappatis in already and have mango chutney and spiced tomato chutney in already.

How is that for a compromise between spending a fortune and spending a little?

I walked past the local Indian restaurant at lunch time. The smell always makes me drool.

PavlovtheCat · 12/11/2008 17:30

I can smell it now [drools herself]. Not a good time to order - too early, will order when DD is in bed and DH will go get it so it is fresh (only up the road).

I have hardly eaten today but now I am starving!

enjoy it - I'm looking forward to dh making 2 cheese risotto for us later, but i really fancy what you're having.....

maybe tomorrow

PavlovtheCat · 12/11/2008 17:33

twoluvlykids we were going to have risotto. I fancied that too, but with MN support, along with DH support, Indian take away wins!

I shall tell you all about it shall i?

twoluvlykids · 12/11/2008 17:38

no!!!

thesockmonsterofdoom · 12/11/2008 18:18

hmmmmmm
I just had chips with melted cheese and ketchup
hmmmmmm
feel better already.

PavlovtheCat · 12/11/2008 18:31

thesockmonsterofdoom funny how little cravings can make us feel better when we are poorly isn't it? Yesterday it was mash. Helped by another MNer as I knew I wanted something specific just could not figure out what, until she said it!!! Then, that was all I wanted!

lol .. I wanted a chinese takeway and I am just deadly tired from being pregnant.

Still my husband wants us to have the Tesco convience meal rather than paying for a full blown chinese take away.

PavlovtheCat · 13/11/2008 07:49

I didn't have it in the end, after all that. I had to go and lie down as I felt too unwell, and went to sleep, DH said I had a fever, and he left me to sleep.

I woke up at like 4am feeling very annoyed that I did not have my take-away! It means though that I will have it tonight, providing I can taste anything as I have now lost my voice and taste buds!

Something to look forward to.
sorry your feeling so rotten though.
