Lesbian quarrel

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.

INTO A SQUIRREL? Shock

Kewcumber · 18/07/2011 22:50

I would do a squirrel impersonation at his point but have no idea what kind of noise a squirrel makes.

I'll tell you what a lesbian quarrel is, bran: we pout at each other lipstickly, then toss our hair around, then roll around on the floor shrieking, "I can't believe you slept with Martina Navratilova you BITCH". Then we have hot, hot sex.

Or perhaps I've been talking to too many squirrels.

lesbian squirrels are the ones that don't like nuts.

Surely if you are cooking the dinner you are doing the giving? Why didnt you get the tarragon? Its only 2 mins in the car, same time as it takes to boil a kettle.

Ace thread.

I though it might be a quarrel about a lesbian.
How wrong was I?!?Grin

hester · 18/07/2011 23:50

Does she like tarragon on her chicken, Lenin? [Nudge nudge, wink wink]

katkitya · 18/07/2011 23:53

Why is the word lesbian in the title? I couldn't be bothered to read it when I realized it was about herbs....

hester · 19/07/2011 00:07

Well exactly, katkitya Grin

perpetualsucker · 19/07/2011 00:10

How random - lesbians in tarragon tangle

BirdOfPassage · 19/07/2011 00:18

"Surely if you are cooking the dinner you are doing the giving? Why didnt you get the tarragon? Its only 2 mins in the car, same time as it takes to boil a kettle." OMG Posh, you are right. All my fault, then.

basil is horrid btw too medicinal. Its the real reason for argument. And now that I come to think of it may be the reason you are a lesbian, too much basil. Or a squirrel. I get confused.

BirdOfPassage · 19/07/2011 00:32

Yes, most of you are confused. The quarrel wasn't about herbs.

Kewcumber · 19/07/2011 00:42

well you might not think so but I'll bet she was absolutely horrified by your use of basil instead of tarragon Shock

EldritchCleavage · 19/07/2011 00:47

Co-op doesn't sell tarragon. How passive aggressive to try to send her on a wild goose chase. She clearly sussed you, OP, hence the quarrel afterwards.
