right then...what is a lentil weaver? Your thoughts please

[Fillyjonk]

Do you need to fondle crystals

or it is enough to just be obsessive about good nutrition?

is there a particular dress code?

is it inconsistant with a reasonable appreciation of science?

thoughts please

Are you bored on a Saterday afternoon Filly???

lol

have to do 17 quadratic equations

some of them involving things ^ x

but no, not bored oh god how could I be bored

its doris day 50's housewife type middleclass
nigella or jamie scooter cookbooks abound
uses 'celeriac' regualrly in cooking

yet claim to embrace feminism becuase they have a degree and 'chose' to stay at home becuae its better for little Archie ( and they happen to have married well )

someone who uses their own hair to knit socks

uses the lint out of the dryer to make teddy bears

lol at custardo

also knows the 1st names of every organic handfed carrot in waitrose (vegetables have feelings too dahling)

and knows a great healthy drink using shepp urine and butter beans

so it's a derogatory term then??

I've been branded a lentil-weaver on here. Crimes in order of severity include:

Making my own clothes
Listening to folk music
Going to festivals
Going on a hypnobirthing course
Growing my own veggies

All necessaries of life imho.

Quite soon I plan to give birth at home and to bury the placenta under my apple tree. This will be added to the top of my list of crimes in due course.

Oh and have just finished knitting a teddybear for my unborn child. Is that wrong too?

Well I might grab a fairtrade bucket of popcorn, no butter natch, and sit back to watch this one go tbh

i dont think its derogatory, id rather be a lentil weaver than a turkeytwizzlerqueen

Fillyjonk you're very norty

ah, i wanted to ask this too,
dont think i am one then,

do eat them though and generally love my food..but not this other mother earthy folksy type stuff...

yes it's derogatory - at least when i use it - which is usually becuase it describes the irony of the 'emancipated' housewife which usually comes hand in hand with anal retentiveness. as in 'organic only'

at suzy

you eat lentil weavers?

organic ones only, I take it?

no crystal fondling neccesary.
Obsessing about good nutition possibly makes you obsessive, but not neccessarily a lentil weaver. Lentil weavers abhor plastic toys, they like to fashion playthings out of bark; they like recycling and strive to be eco-friendly; enjoy smuggery associated with home-made bread/home grown vegetables/foraging in hedgerows, making their own quinoa wine, may have a penchant for layered clothing, patchwork and home-knits; and their offspring are likely to be found at African Drumming Workshops and the Woodcraft Folk.

im just jealous. i cant make anything except a cup of tea

er, well normally rinse and pick them out!

butif in war situation.. protein is protein harhar

right

perhaps a quiz is called for

but first i must away and eat home made banana bread and then do 400 quadratic equations

Most of my lentil-weavery stems from penury.
And I've too many unhealthy vices to qualify as a fully-fledged, moong-bean masticator or dyed (made-from-recycled-onion-skins-and elderberries)-in the wool lentil weaver.

What's the opposite of a lentil-weaver I wonder? Posh spice maybe?!?
Are l/w's generally thought to come from particular class level or similar, are there degrees of affliction I wonder, dabbler to fervent knitter?
