to be repulsed by the words 'pasta bake'

[EleanoraBuntingCupcake]

and i actually retch at teh thought of tuna pasta bake.

oh yes, that's what people who buy the real stuff at fifteen zillion pounds a litre tell you, eleanora. but it's not true.

emkana, lapin once told me that her painter had said that nine times out of ten, if the painter buys the paint for the customer, they're getting mixes and putting them in old tins.

My painter supplied us with trade paint but in new tins.

my painter told me that the trade stuff better quality than f and b

i dont believe it

colour mix machines are pants imo!

my painter told me the same, and i must say that the people i know with kids and f&b do seem to spend a lot of time telling them NOT TO TOUCH THE WALLS!!

Look at us all talking about 'My painter'. How very grand!

lol

i paint my f and b with dulux special effects 'mattcoat' fantastic stuff

stleger are you thinking of Abel and Cole?

Yes I am! I'd love to see my dh if he had to be given celeriac several times a week because they had sent a load. (Abel and Cole is kindof like the paint company name, same rhythm!)

stleger hmmm methinks a rap song may be in order

Abel and Cole ,Farrow,Ball kiss my ass and paint the wall

so you pay for two lots of paint then, notanotter? yeah, that farrow and ball stuff is great, lol.

Aitch the dulux stuff is awfully pricey but worth every penny

the tiniest tiniest darkening of the shade but otherwise years of wipe clean paintwork

it does sound good. our f&b copy is a lot less powdery than the real stuff (and cheaper).

I think that mozzarella always tastes gone off. How do you tell? And parmesan tastes of dried sick. But I know nothing of course.

My courgette bake was luverly. And fundamentally honest.

You are eating the wrong mozzarella and parmesan, OrmIrian

I loathe mozzarella but absolutely adore parmesan.

Now if you're going to bring up mozarella, I have to mention DS's food ponce moment in an italian restaurant.

"Oohh - tomato and mozarella - is that buffalo mozarella?".

The shame. He was 6.

My mum was horrified...

Or even mozzarella. He doesn't get it from me I tell you...

We are having buffalo mozzarella for lunch . With extra virgin olive oil

And I must get it ready as we have to leave for the cinema in under an hour...

She's most definitely eating the right parmesan. That's how all parmesan tastes.

This is why. ''Butyric acid is notably found in rancid butter, parmesan cheese, and vomit, and has an unpleasant odor and acrid taste, with a sweetish aftertaste.''

No no no! There are lots of different parmesans, different ages etc and they certainly don't taste of vomit.

NEVER buy ready grated parmesan unless you are very sure indeed of the quality.

They do taste like vomit,or certainly they smell of it as I can't bring myself to eat it. Papaya also tastes of vomit, and many goat's cheeses also do.

Otter, am shaking with mirth at your paint rap. [I insisted my garden wall was pimped with F & B, much to dh's irritation.]
