You can always tell some women are childless by the fact that they....

[NinaInCognito]

...get in the way of you when you are in the supermarket dragging around a pram, trolley and fiddly child and then they sneer down at you with their basket full of organic lettuce, baguettes and mini-tampons while your trolley is loaded with nappies, a giant pot of Sudocrem and enough chocolate bars to re-sink the Titanic.

You then have to manoever around them while they continue said sneering.

God you can tell what sort of evening I have had, can't you? And I am embarrassed to admit that I used to be one of those women. I apologise to all you mums out there unreservedly.

Now for chocolate bars and MN......

oh...

hi expat.

we had couscous with fried red onions, olives and chopped tom stirred in and falafel with a side of salad.

ate the syrup pud hot with cold custard.mmmm

the girls had chocolate Angel Delight for pud and i'm waiting for DH to get come from work with my Magnum bar.

i fucking wish i were in America right about now!

it's freezing here again and lashing the rain.

and when my sister messaged me that she and her husband are enjoying another lovely, relaxing night in as her girls are spending the night with one of our cousins.

delicious and virtuous. you can tell you don't live near an M&S.

do you make your own felafel? i want a good recipe, but one that can be done in an oven or done in a very shallow fry. i fear no such thing exists.

i bet you deep fry it, being americans... [snooty]

i buy the al-fez stuff in a box, aitch, follow the directions and then put it in the . . . are you sitting down? . . . deep-fat fryer at 190 degrees for 3 minutes.

.

dont make falafel as i dint like it.make cous-cous though

the girls and DH, definitely NOT American.

jocks love fried food, too .

lol. we don't have the counter space for a fryer. i'd love to make my own chips like my mum used to. twice-fried, oh yes...

fried mars bars for the tourists, the clam shell on royal mile will be stowed wi harrumphing festival goers

do you have a recipe, riven, or are you a make-it-up-as-you-do-alonger?

a wok!how novel.i like chips n curry sauce.mmm.

i put the chips in the fryer, too.

see, i'm genuinely a bit afraid of hot oil. so is dh, he was in a chip pan fire when he was a wee boy. i'd be okay with a purpose-built fryer, iykwim?

My mum fries chips in a wok!! Thought she was the only nutter person who did that.

i'm afraid of hot oil, too.

hence, the fryer.

a gift from my sister, whose husband is a hick who grew up in a trailer (he's an engineer for NASA now ).
