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

But doesn't a bag of potatoes last a damned sight longer than a box of waffles? Do people really buy potato waffles because they're cheap, or because they really can't be arsed to boil and mash a potato?

bit of both i suppose. if people are living week to week or even day to day can they afford the extra 60p that will buy a carton of milk? add to that all the other veggies.... and you can save a lot of money by feeding your kids "crap". organic veggies are even more pricey than normal ones too. dhs family used to own a fruit and veg stall in the bullring birmingham and theyve had to sell up coz they cant compete with the big chains and 1 reason for that is people like the convienience , rambling a bit now. am i making sense?

sorry ,sorky...didn;t want to make anyone feel ill. x

1/2 price organic carrots , potatos, onions and bananas in lidl !

i am now concerned i have slightly weaverish tendencies, deep deep down

(also have rooibosh tea.........)

I think the Waffle vs real spud issue is more to do with the crap teaching of domestic science we inflict on our kids nowerdays.

Kids grow up with parents who can't cook, and we limit their education in school to makeing f-ing pizza toppings (my cousin is a cookery teacher and it drives hell into her!)

so what is the opposite of a lentil weaver?

a nugget muncher?

lol, a twizzler tie-er

Own fault fillyjonk quadratic equations indeed
Go on then do your worst with the questions, I reckon I'll get about 75%.

oooh yes !!

LOL !

oh my sainted aunts! Six days of carrying a placenta around with the newborn???

chin hits floor.

tbh all of these things can be taken into consideration, but you can buy a ready meal at 5 for £3, thats 5 days worth of meals. while the cooking issue is a valid point there are so many people living on the breadline, personal debt is at an all time high, and a huge amount of kids eat crap coz their parents cant afford to feed them proper food.

look..it was just something interesting i came across on my doula course....!! not advocating it neccesarily..just an alternative view point ! ! !

pmsl, its icky tho lulu!!

Am marvelling over menstrual stock - a madly evocative term.
I am currently planning my lentil loom, which will be built entirely of recycled materials.

lentil weaving crimes:

placenta is in freezer awaiting suitable huge pot with tree in it which will be presented to ds when he leaves home.

stump of umbilical cord in ds's room next to a buddha statue.

have been known to make own bread. try to have organic fruit and veg and always have organic meat and milk.

cook from scratch vast majority of the time.

attended hypnobirthing course.

strong interest in astrology, feng shui, symbolism and wicca

things that rule me out include:

not having quiche slippers

not knitting my own clothes out of armpit hair

wearing make up when i go out and dressing like a sexy secretary on occassion.

a nespresso machine (may i be forgiven for my unethical whoredom)

and loads of other things....

on balance i think i'm pretty lentil weaving, but definitely not quiche knitter.

10, but that is just bevause I have to buy tasteless herbal tea for my MIL

I'm so none lentil weaver. Although I do enjoy eating them in a good curry!

cripes scored 100, definitely lentil weaver.

although it strikes me that lentil weavers in the main don't swear and argue hard...which i do. like a trooper and an argumentative thing.

can;t have a mooncup as my periods have stoppped ! but i was about to order one from franny ( i miss gentle lovely franny......) so can i have 5 points ?

i did try mooncup but something nasty happened...might need to start a thread about it actually.

Mercy,you would be surprised if you met me.Am not nearly as hardcore as you imagine.

Was parked in the pub a few days ago with a pint and a fag.

well i got 150

keep up y'all

oh yeah. i drink. have been known to take drugs. and used to smoke. not very lentil weavy at all.

and love meat eating.
