Anyone for a fondant fancy? Let The Archers eat cake...

TA is in a purple patch at the moment, rewarding listeners for wading through the dross of the previous year few months. Welcome all!

[CuttedUpPear]

Thanks for the synopsis GypsyFloss
Home now and can listen at my leisure!

[GypsyFloss]

:)

I like " Sleeping with the enemy" ...in a brand new bed.

[ComposHat]

Or tp reflect thw dact it is lambing season 'Sheeping with the enemy'

[Selks]

Oh how did I miss Henry drawing a pic of poor old 'lonely cow'. Lovely detail.

[Selks]

Hmm topical flood-related insert there. Wondered when TA was going to catch up with it.

[PseudoBadger]

I like that Gypsy!

[Selks]

FFS Hellin!! "I've even made my own tagliatelle"

[ComposHat]

Pasta eh?

Rob needs the carbs to keep his strength up?

[CuttedUpPear]

That's pasta puttansesca that Helen just described to Rob.

'Whore's pasta' in translation

[ZeroSomeGameThingy]

This is too much! Make him stop!

[ComposHat]

EA ago go

[Selks]

Excruciating, isn't it Zero?

[nauticant]

Imagine what would have happened if Helen had served soup!

[CuttedUpPear]

Can you make cheese out of tuna?

[TemperamentalAroundCorvids]

Oh yes, pasta puttanesca - I knew that but didn't realise at the time. V nice touch!

Why do I feel I should be offering my lawns to a sheep from the floodlands?

[GypsyFloss]

I was cringeing listening to Rob and Helen. One more controlling step. If the writers ( and I'm looking at you Keri) turn this into a happy and normal relationship I shall be very miffed.

And then even more so listening to bloody Ruth emoting loudly about the flooded sheep. Argghhhhhh. The only good bit was how happy Tony sounded.

[OddFodd]

The topical inserts felt too late but I was a bit alarmed by the whole Kenton/Jolene stress. They are doing this as counterpoint aren't they? I shall be really cross otherwise. And yy to Sheeping with the Enemy

[GypsyFloss]

Composhat love "Sheeping with the enemy"

[Bluestocking]

Puttanesca doesn't have tuna in it. It can have anchovies, which are much more likely to make a person go "bleurgh" than tuna!
Rob the Knob is a real piece of work, isn't he? Pretty soon, Helen won't know whether she's coming or going. If you'll pardon the expression.

[HumphreyCobbler]

arf at Sheeping with the enemy

bugger I forgot to listen.

[TemperamentalAroundCorvids]

Technically you're right blue - but I still think it's what the SWs had in mind, what with the olives and capers. Tuna is sometimes substituted for anchovies in salad nicoise (and for some people that makes it no longer a nicoise I think). ((or does a nicoise have both?))

I have known folk who went bleugh at tuna.

[PseudoBadger]

Nicoise has both. I can't wait to listen!

[Bluestocking]

You're right, Temperamental (or shall I call you Corvids?) - I was just enjoying a bit of pedantic arsehattery!
I loved the Knobber's drama-queen "bleaurgh! bleaurgh!!" when he came into the kitchen. He'd been practising that since Hellin told him what she'd cooked, hadn't he?

[NorthernLurker]

Tonight's episode made me feel sick - and not because of the tuna. She'd cooked and was all pleased with herself so of course he had to knock her down to size. Awful - because there are women really living that.

[OldBeanbagz]

I really don't like Helen but even i was screaming "Grab Henry and get out of there now!" at the radio.

I get the feeling it's going to get nasty!
