Shock

What fantastic reading this morning catching up.

OP, do not leave us, whoever has rumbled you seems to be in on the joke. You and the awesome ITbitch and siekick must continue the revolution.

funny how the FridgeBitch doesn't have time to do shopping at any other time, but her world does not seem to have ended when the fridge stopped working.

pointythings · 09/05/2016 11:36

Ooooh, the next instalment. .. (former lurker here)

Natsku · 09/05/2016 11:45

If I didn't hate courgettes so much I'd buy one in honour of this thread. But I do, so I won't. Maybe I could go carve one in the shop though and leave it there for a courgette lover.

didyoureally · 09/05/2016 11:51

I am picturing your place of work becoming a shrine in homage to ITbitches. Pilgrims, with an aversion to the Daily Fail and most definitely not wearing purple, will travel from far and wide to bring offerings of courgettes and sushi.

CordeliaFrost · 09/05/2016 12:02

I lurked on the other thread, but now the time has come to break the silence, and say this is my favourite thread ever on MN.

I'm far too invested in it, then perhaps any human being should be, but as I'm self-employed I am living through this thread! Grin

BaronessBomburst · 09/05/2016 12:04

Do courgettes ever make it into sushi?
Or just cucumber and seaweed?
Maybe we should create our own.
California rolls aren't exactly authentic and my local takeaway uses hard boiled eggs and crab sticks Hmm

BareBearBum · 09/05/2016 12:22

Hurray! There you are!! I felt slightly lost after the other thread got full and I couldn't find the new one. Grin

Ememem84 · 09/05/2016 12:23

I am loving this.

De-fuse fridge tonight.

SouthWesterlyWinds · 09/05/2016 12:45

Courgette/Zucchini sushi

It's quite nice actually.

My colleague has twat me over the head with a courgette..
mix56 · 09/05/2016 12:48

Can you stick the planted cock courgette in the ice compartment & return it later, when thawed will be flacid ? or did you take it with you on lunch break to carve it ?

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 09/05/2016 12:49

Natsku - I used to hate courgettes too, as I'd only ever had them boiled/steamed or roasted. Then I lived in Italy for 6w, and the lady I was working for did this amazing slow cook of salted courgettes in butter and olive oil - god it was FAB!

Since then, I've tried but not been able to reproduce it (CBA to do the long slow cook, to be fair) but I've discovered that even a short fry in butter with salt, especially garlic salt, renders courgettes eminently edible. For me, anyway. Still can't stand them boiled/steamed or roasted though! Grin

Natsku · 09/05/2016 12:58

Maybe I should try them fried sometime. Always had them boiled or roasted and just hated the slimy texture.

Pipbin · 09/05/2016 13:00

Oh it's been hardwork find the posts from the op.

I think you might have been found out.

NewYearSameMe · 09/05/2016 13:03

I love courgettes cut into matchsticks and fried in olive oil with some finely chopped red chilli. If you have left-over black pudding even better, dice or crumble it and stir it through towards the end of frying. Serve mixed with pasta.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 09/05/2016 13:06

Raw courgette is amazing. Tastes totally different.

Squiff15 · 09/05/2016 13:08

Ohhh here you are, I've been looking for you all. Ladies loos? Nope. Back of the bike shed? Nope. In the kitchen fiddling with the fridge settings? Maybe.

Oldraver · 09/05/2016 13:23

Didnt the OP say FridgeFucker doesn't shop and fill the fridge on the days the boss is in ?

DontBuyANewMumCuntingDailyMail · 09/05/2016 13:28

OMG a courgette in the fridge!!!! Someone definitely knows.
Unless IT bitch has been on MN?!

dangerrabbit · 09/05/2016 13:30

Ooh, finally found the new thread! The fridge drama is mounting. Courgette planter, reveal yourself!
🍆

TransvisionTramp · 09/05/2016 13:31

YESSSSSSSS!
Thanks to Euphemia and MilkTwoSugarsThanks I've found you all, and this is the best I could have hoped for.
I bow down IT Bitch, what a person to have on 'Team Courgette'.
OP I fear you have been rumbled though, but as this all happened on your day off you are obviously innocent. Halo

InternationalHouseofToast · 09/05/2016 13:37

If your boss isn't in tomorrow, and the fridge gets filled with someone's shopping, fridges look like they're not working if the bulb, which is screw fit in a fridge, happens to work slightly loose and therefore does not light up when you open the door.

Just saying [cough] Grin

Ememem84 · 09/05/2016 13:38

Grate courgette ribbons fry in butter with sage and garlic and throw over pasta. delicious.

C'mon op. It's almost lunchtime. Aren't you taking a break today...?
