Top marks bozza,but you have let yourself down badly with the Bisto am afraid.
Very disappointed in you tbh.....

Meanoldmummy · 20/01/2006 22:46

Bisto?? Nil points!!!!!!!!!

What did YOU have for dinner moondog?

moondog · 20/01/2006 22:51

I love the way you always pop up on these MOM!

OK,I had organic steamed salmon,steamed spinach and buckwheat with a glass of V8.
Afterwards I had a punnet of rasberries.

I went to a friend's house today with dd.
Whilst I was otherwise occupied,she gave dd a pale pink twisted sugary length and then these thin red things like shoe laces.

That's not food!!!!

Milliways · 20/01/2006 22:52

Asda Pizza & crisps

Meanoldmummy · 20/01/2006 22:55

Buckwheat??? ROFL!!!!

moondog · 20/01/2006 22:58

Why you laff,woman???

I really do like all the things one is supposed to eat,although having said that,am partial to excessive amounts of wine and the odd fag too (although can't recallhaving a fag in months. Maybe I'm off them??)

Meanoldmummy · 20/01/2006 23:10

Buckwheat is only permissible if you have coeliac disease...it tastes like Pritt Stick!!!

I gave up smoking six months ago......GOD I wish hadn't bothered!!!!!!!!!!

moondog · 20/01/2006 23:12

lol again!
Why do you wish you hadn't bothered??

Meanoldmummy · 20/01/2006 23:17

Because I have had too much wine and I want a smoke.....if I hadn't gone and given up, nobody would have any less of me for having a nice ciggie before I go to bed - whereas if I have one now it will be major news, and my mother will be really chuffed that I failed

Meanoldmummy · 20/01/2006 23:18

THOUGHT any less of me....drunkenness is no excuse for blatant lapses in grammar......

moondog · 20/01/2006 23:19

That's terrible! She sounds like a mean old mummy too...

Meanoldmummy · 20/01/2006 23:22

I'm not really mean...it's just a front...hic

moondog · 21/01/2006 21:12

Anyone had anything extra nasty ce soir????

Milge · 21/01/2006 21:13

Just for you moondog - bisto roast onion flavour gravy!!! on farmers market sausages, organic potatoes, veg box January King cabbage.

moondog · 21/01/2006 21:19

Jeez,do they do flavoured Bisto????
Very disappointed in you too-what is the point of cooking allthat nice food if you then drown it in devil's bile????

Bozza · 21/01/2006 21:23

But moondog I don't even use bisto - it's Asda's own gravy granules for me.

But tonight I did a very nice mushroom and parmesan risotto with not a granule in sight. Only none fresh item (besides the rice obviously)was a jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Is semolina for pudding good or bad? The kids like it.

moondog · 21/01/2006 21:25

Bozza..we've already had words.. [stern emoticon]

Tonight's sounds great.Semolina is good I reckon.Very retro.

Bozza · 21/01/2006 21:27

With jam mixed in?

moondog · 21/01/2006 21:29

Still good-as long as it is nice jam,not a nasty flourescent number from KwikSave.

Milge · 21/01/2006 21:30

PMSL - i thought that too, when i was eating supper.

Bozza · 21/01/2006 21:53

Reasonably good strawberry jam. DS likes to make it go pink.

moondog · 21/01/2006 21:55

We'll let you off seeing as it is the w/end Bozza.
I fully expect you to be making your own by the autumn.

Bozza · 21/01/2006 22:02

I would have to buy a new pan.

Actually I do need a new pan but am looking at a large, deep frying pan possibly with a glass lid - not a jam pan.

I have a secret fondness for "plastic food". I suspect it is because I cook 98% of our food from scratch (as did my mother) and look wistfully at ready meals in Carrefour most nights when I can't be arsed to cook.

I have real weaknesses for: processed cheese (can you still get it? Edam will do at a pinch), Instant Whip, Angel Delight (can you still get these as well? Butterscotch is best, I think), frozen cod in batter(the funny shaped ones - is it called trapezoid?), oven chips, sterilised milk (which we always used to call "Bull's Milk", as opposed to pasteurised, which was "Cow's Milk" - took me many years to cotton on that bulls don't produce milk). Ooh and top favourite has to be Gala Pie - that cold pie made of pigs' eyeballs with the lovely rubbery egg in the middle of it. Or maybe a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie - cooked in its own little tin, and the pastry never quite cooks through, so you get a lovely soggy layer between the "meat" (will use that term lightly here) and the golden crispy pastry on top.

Sure there's more. Tinned rice pudding - called "Rijstpap" here, which sounds v unappetising, don't you think?

I've also been known to eat the odd pot noodle in my yoof.

But I do make my own bread, jams, chutneys, cakes etc. I just have a yearning for crap from time to time.

Bozza · 21/01/2006 22:19

Hmmm Tanzie - DH and I were discussing the fact that none of us (except DS in school dinners but definitely not DD at nursery ) had had chips yet this year. But I know what you mean - I like potato croquettes when I am hungover - but no hangover to date in 2006.
