Lesbian quarrel

[BirdOfPassage]

Wonder what you think of this. I am in her kitchen, cooking dinner for us. I need tarragon, which we are both sure will be in her massive herb rack (of which she is very proud). It isn't. I say "You could go and get some from the Coop" (not more than 5 mins away on foot, 2 in the car). She says "Oh I'm not going just for that, can't you use something else?" I am stumped, both at the refusal, and at what to substitute (tarragon and burned-off alcohol give the dish its distinctive sharp taste). Anyway, I use thyme and basil and it turns out ok - but not as good as with tarragon.

After the meal, we have a blazing row - about something completely different, and it turns out to be the end of the affair (my decision). Now I'm wondering if my 'stumpedness' at her refusal affected the development of the row... BTW I don't regret the end of the relationship.

Thanks for the laughs. Just going to get my solo supper (Nasi Goreng ready meal from Aldi).

I feel sorry for people who don't understand the importance of tarragon.
They don't know what they are missing.

there are two glaring red herrings here

1. herbs

2. the same sex relationship

you two are obvioulsy not working out

The End.

I think that her Great Big Herb Rack let you down, and this was a metaphor for other areas where you had been impressed with the appearance and then let down by the substance

In your next relationship don't rely on the spice until you have tasted the heat.

Good luck.

You shop in Aldi? - No wonder she left you

I don't think it's possible to need tarragon. You wanted tarragon but you didn't need it.

I think it's nothing a good bout of mud wrestling wouldn't solve.

A lesbian squirrel would have made far more interesting reading.

I was also intrigued by the massive herb rack, of which one would be proud.

Agree Mal - >

No woman would ever want me.

I bet you have a tarragon feel about ya though, MW

Don'tGoCurly - I disagee. You NEED tarragon for Tarragon Chicken, otherwise it is just 'chicken'.

Damn right, Blu.

but nothing is a good substitute for tarragon, definitely not a lesbian squirrel

I would have argued with you too, any serious cook knows that you would substitute fennel for tarrgon. And the co-op? Seriously? that was her problem.

I actually think you're being a massive twat over the tarragon!

You seriously felt the need to post about your relationship-ending-dried-herb needs?! Words fail me!

I think you need to take up some hobbies, maybe remove your eyes from your navel and engage fully in life like a normal individual and then maybe you'll be able to stop linking herbal deficiencies with relationship break ups.

Rhinestone, I feel herbal deficiencies are a significant, if unrecognised, factor in relationship break-ups. This thread could be a best-seller in the making.

Glad you have a wink in there, Rhinestone.

Garlicbutter I now realise there's a deeper meaning to all those scenes in Fawlty Towers when Sybil would shriek, "Basil!"

Bird someone further up the thread said they thought you were being a little bit of a twat over the tarragon. Glad you took my wink in the spirit it was intended!

Rhinestone, I think it was 'massive twat' actually :o

Don't feel too bad Bird . I ran out of oregano just before the last election and ending up voting Lib Dem. What a twat I was!

i would have preferred the lesbian squirrel.

I was once propositioned by a lesbian squirrel.

What on earth have you been cooking with lesbian squirrel? Was that from the recipe section? I always think squirrel would be rather dry and sinewy
