Quokka's leaving do

[suejonez]

At suejonez's
Friday 25th May
Fajita night

Everyone to bring whatever they want to drink (so feel free to bring a soft drink if you are driving)

Lets agree a list of what we need first before allocating out:

I'm going to try to make this easy and cut down on the cooking for all

lets assume 10 people

tortillas (3 each?)
cooked beef mince
cooked chicken
grated cheese
avocado for slicing?
guacamole
sour cream
salsa
fried onions
fried peppers
kidney beans in chili sauce (could be bought)
salad

Anything else?

Pudding

No problem. I can't believe I still haven't met Monti... can't wait!

Hey, is OXO coming to this shindig? I miss her.

No probs, I'll cook the beef with the taco seasoning and bring some jalapeno peppers for those who might want it a bit spicier!

Things we still need:
triple sec
bag of ice (so we don't use up all of Sue's)
veggie beans with chili
limes (or lime juice), if bringing fresh limes we probably need about 10.

Don't worry about ice - I'll bag some up the day before and make some fresh.

Okay, was just thinking if we take all your ice and then someone wants ice for some other kind of rink it will all be gone. But then, maybe it's just Americans who put ice in all their drinks???

I will prioritise ice for you Ele , but those mostly the alcohol drinkers drink wine or beer so no ice needed and soft drinks get a bit diluted wih piles of ice... however will do my best not to run out.

No no don't you fret, I'm going to be on the margarita train...

We still need a volunteer for triple sec? And what did we decide on paper/plastic cups plates, etc. so the Jonez house doesn't have too much cleaning to do.

doh!
and i could have mananged a bit of cut and pasting
sue..of course my laptop is surgically attached to me. but you'd be amazed how technophobic lots of journos are...or, to be more accurate, how technophobic more "mature" journos are...to be even more accurate...ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! I'M STUPID. ("we don't say stupid, mummy..")

Well, I am going to start a thread called "Fuck off, I can't do links!"

lol @ you two!

Foxie, you have developed a real potty mouth since going on maternity leave. Just who do you hang out with????

for the foxcub so he'll fit in at home

and for the older foxcubs

I was inspired by a thread recently where a Mum said he son swore in the playground. She was instantly bombarded by very sanctimonious and po-faced mumsnetters, who claimed to be "shocked and stunned" by the word "bugger"...

so am swearing as much as poss atm

i'm afraid to utter my favourite swear word combination coz i think even you lot might get a bit sanctimonious about it!

having said that, i wouldn't be putting on a T shirt LOL!

Is "Oh Bugger" not acceptable then? Shit.

bugger was one of my fav words as a toddler, my parents couldn't get me to stop saying it for about a year

far far far worse than that.

i haven't ever uttered it around you lot as i fear i might be ex-communicated.

i use it quite a lot at work tho.

there's an insight! i'm more worried about upsetting MN than I am about my job!
