Confused well when I read the recipe it did say that if you want a non-veggie version you can put bacon/pancetta in instead...

Ooh that sounds like it would be lovely 😄😄

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 15:53

Lol I never liked bacon even before I was veggie...

Oh and I got a text from CuntMonkey today asking how DD was so I said she was fine and he said to "give her a kiss and cuddle from me, I miss her so much I'm always thinking of her"

Wasn't thinking of her on Sunday was he Hmm

If you're ever in Edinburgh you have to go to Hendersons, it's a veggie restaurant owned by a farming family. The veg is harvested and taken to the restaurant daily so it's all seasonal, mega fresh stuff and the food is amazing! Even DP who hates veg is happy to eat there.
Is he actually for fucking real? What a self pitying dick! He gave up 3 whole hours he could have had his daughter because he was a petulant cunt and he's still expecting sympathy???? Angry

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 16:29

Ooh sounds yummy! We have a Mexican restaurant here which does the nicest veggie dishes... In fact one of their dishes is my favourite meal ever, like would probably be my last meal if I were on death row favourite Grin

Self-pitying dick is the most accurate description of him tbh. Nothing is ever "fair" or his fault. He has the biggest victim complex I've ever seen!

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 16:57

I do like veggie food (minus the mushrooms obvs), I LOVE Hendersons it's such a treat! Mostly I love going home to Edinburgh because I'll never be able to afford to live there again Sad
Why do all men like our Xs suddenly start caring about feelings when it's them that feel shit. I didn't see any of them giving a shit when it was us or the kids in bits eh? I told my XH he might as well nail himself to a crucifix because he's such a bloody martyr! I get so enraged when they drag the kids into it and play games with them too. Can't they see how awesome these little people are?

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 16:57

What's the Mexican dish you like?

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 17:24

Lmao at the crucifix (literally - DD was looking at me like I'd lost the plot)

The dish is spinach, leek and mozzarella tacos, they come with mexican rice, black beans, salad and guacamole and they're gorgeous. Such a big portion too though I always seem to be able to find room for churros afterwards Grin I always leave that restaurant feeling like I'm not going to need to eat for a week!

I don't think they can see past their own fat heads to be able to see how awesome their DC are tbh. It's also hard to see much of anything when your head is as far up your arse as theirs is Grin

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 17:26

Aw that sounds amazing!!! I LOVE churros, I found a recipe for churro cheesecake, where the base is churros instead of biscuit, and I'm making it on Christmas Day. I'm actually excited Grin
Haha, it was one of my better one liners Grin he didn't have an answer either which is always good! I think you might be right, they don't give a fuck about anyone else, not even their own bairns. Which is pathetic really, since they're clearly awesome!

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 17:36

It is amazing! I suggested it as mine and XPs first date as I had been before a few times and loved it. He was a bit like Confused Grin when I'd finished mine and he was only two thirds through... Actually that sparked one of the fun things at the beginning of our relationship where we would try and out eat each other Grin

OP posts:
skyyequake · 18/10/2016 17:37

Your churro cheesecake sounds amazing... FedEx me some? Grin

OP posts:
ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 18:09

I'd win that contest hands down Grin growing up if you weren't fast you didn't eat 😂 DP is the total opposite, he eats really slowly because he's got dental problems (bad gum infection while in a warzone which left him with horrible problems as it went untreated).
I've not made it yet, maybe I should practice? Haha, do FedEx deliver food? If so I will Grin with an extra bit for your DD Grin I could make a "special" one for your XP, does he have any allergies Grin

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 18:49

Haha unfortunately not but I think a healthy dose of bleach might be appropriate Grin

That sucks for your DP Sad Is it something that can be treated over time or is it permanent?

OP posts:
ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 18:53

Don't tempt me with the bleach Grin twat!
Unfortunately the only treatment is dentures which he's just not prepared to admit yet. So he's had most of the back ones removed and just muddles through. It's a real shame, a lot of the boys came back with long term minor health problems which have got worse over time because they couldn't be treated at the time. Most of his army buddies that did the same tours have terrible dental problems too. It's a real shame.

skyyequake · 18/10/2016 18:59

It's really shitty how badly military people get treated once they're back home. I was in the council offices one day for something and one guy was saying that he'd spent 20 years in the army and had been left out on the streets. He'd saved up enough to put down a deposit on renting his own flat and all he needed was a bit of paperwork from the council and they were still dicking him about Angry

OP posts:
ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 19:03

I completely agree. DP put it best when he said "they taught us all how to go to war, but nobody taught us how to come home." The things they've seen and been through break my heart, my BIL still has severe PTSD from his tour, he wasn't allowed to go on the second as he wasn't safe to be sent. But they did fuck all to help him, just medically discharged him and left him to it. He talks to me and DP about his experiences sometimes I wish he wouldn't it's so awful and I want to run away but I know we're literally the only outlet he has.

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 19:12

Saw this and thought you could help?

That's what one of the guys in the new Godzilla movie says Grin

Mental health is the worst one, I mean mental health care is pretty shitty in general in this country but you would think that that would be the one area where it'd be a no brainer. Sadly the powers that be don't care about the soldiers, they only care about the war.

OP posts:
ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 19:13

Mental health services in general are appalling! You'd think the Forces would have their own help eh? Unfortunately not.

GabsAlot · 18/10/2016 19:16

whose cooking i'll eat anything

ayeokthen · 18/10/2016 19:22

I'm making churro cheesecake next week Gabs Grin

myfriendnigel · 18/10/2016 19:49

Aloha Sky-just popping in to see how you are doing on your new thread Smile

GabsAlot · 19/10/2016 09:28

omg that sounds amazing sky

youre down south arent you

skyyequake · 19/10/2016 13:57

Hi everyone!

Gabs its aye that's making the cheesecake I'm not that crafty 😂

But yes I am down south Smile

Been to soft play this morning and DD was wonderful! No fussing or crying, a two year old boy accidently sat on her and she just looked around like "oh bugger" Grin

A few other parents were looking at me with what I can only assume was envy as I got to sit there with NDN and a coffee watching DD whilst they were running after DC trying to referee and avoid casualties 😂 the only thing I had to do was stop DD from running into the big kids section (3+ years)

But yeah I'm very proud, she was very good, shared nicely and ate her snack without fuss!

How's everyone's days so far?
