Tunnocks

[thelionthewitchtheaudacityofTHISbitch]

I have seen it quoted on here for many years that Tunnocks are to be supported as they support women's rights. I have looked on their website and social media and can see nothing to support this rumour. Does anyone have any evidence? Thanks.

Lasagne with Tunnocks and meat? I’m not Rachel in Friends! Give me some credit. I was going to use quorn

Is it tomorrow today for the CT @Boiledbeetle ? All the best. If they have trouble getting you in the machine they'll just throw in a teacake and you'll be in there like a rat up a drainpipe!

If I was going to try making a Tunnocks lasagne, I think I would split caramel wafers into thin slabs along the lines of the wafers and use them as the pasta, layered with the insides of snowballs as the bechamel, and squished up teacakes as the ragu.

(My teeth hurt just typing that)

You just know at some point someone, somewhere, is going to be attempting to make Tunnocks lasagne this weekend!

I'm literally hours away from being able to eat (my slice of toast I thought I was allowed im now not as I'm not diabetic) I have two caramel wafers in my bag ready.

Shows where my priorities are, showered, no, dressed no, cats fed no. Tunnocks caramel wafers in bag yes!

And can I just say when they told me the horrible liquid I had to drink yesterday ready for today might have a slight laxative effect they lied.

It's not slight!

Bastards

Oh dear, poor you!

Fingers crossed for your scan.

All.the best today, beetle.

😁 oh sweet caramel wafer you will soon be mine...

Shall I compare thee to a Tunnocks tea cake
Thou art more lovely and more chewy.

Hope all goes well today, beetle. Let the prospect of Tunnocks helpfully distract you from whatever else is going on.

Another hope all goes well today and you get the nice drivers again.
Squeaky that sounds equally gorgeous and disgusting at the same time.
I am worried I will be the one to give in and make some concoction of hell, but I’m limited to just caramels and teacakes so that could be my saving.

And... I'm back in the room.

Got to say the CT scan was definitely preferable to the alternative of shoving a camera all the way round my bowel whilst awake! Thank you for all your virtual support, you can stop eating Tunnocks on my behalf now.

So continuing the survey of random NHS staff the CT nurse puts Tunnocks tea cakes top and gets upset if her mother tries to persuade her to buy cheaper knock off versions!

I waited until my clothes were back on before I ate a caramel wafer! Only because I'd left them in my bag with my mate in the waiting room!

I will admit there was no way I was trusting patient transport for a 9am appointment in a different town, so have forgone tomorrow's cleaning and got my lovely cleaner to take me. She may have been rewarded with a big Mac meal on the way home. Obviously it would have been rude not to have one myself whilst we were there!

I can continue with my birthday week of celebrations now that's all over. Although I may wait a while before I start on the snowballs! I'm still a bit full from the McDonald's. So another five minutes should do it!

Looks at coffee and walnut cake that's also sat in the kitchen, and wonders (whilst offering up silent prayers of thanks) why mine isn't covered in fondant icing like the other birthday girls cake is.

Tunnocks lasagne (based on Sorted Foods kitkat lasagne (they've removed the recipe unless you sign up for their app.)).

Layer of tunnocks wafers (might split them in half horizontally).
White chocolate ganache
Tinned or canned cherries soaked with cassis, then drained
Fresh (I assume) pitted cherries
Blobs of cream cheese and ricotta
Fresh mint leaves
Pour over half cherry liquid
Another layer of everything
Rest of cherry liquid
Bake to heat through

Eat, or examine dubiously, poke, then eat...taste...throw away?

No idea of quantities or timings 😊

OK who's taking one fot the team and making @IcakethereforeIam recipe?

I mean I would but i am genuinely busy until forever and a day, so I won't get chance!

Any takers?

Glad you came through the scan unscathed and can now settle back into a life of Tunnocks, beetle.

A very happy birthday week to you!

Make a wish and then blow!

Ooh candles. Can I have three wishes? What's that yes I can? Ooh good

1 I wish for The merkin lady herself to send me a photo of the book.
2 I wish for a sketch I drew to appear in a Glinner update
and finally
3 I wish for Fred Sargeant to use the sketch from the Glinner update as his Twitter profile banner for the whole of August.....

Bugger that last candle didn't go out. God knows what will happen now

Many happy returns @Boiledbeetle 😊

Many happy returns, and a good result from the scan. I still have abjure my stash so I will enjoy yours vicariously. I'll eat my fresh cherries unadulterated and imagine the Tunnocks around them.
That's got rid of the mark of the beast on this thread.

Wishing you many happy returns and many future Tunnocks, @Boiledbeetle

Many more chairs and crowns, too.

Ahem, also just quietly mentioning that it's my birthday tomorrow.

Then you to shall have cake

Happy birthday Boss!!

Thank you so much.

I think.

@Chersfrozenface I've just found us much better cakes more appropriate cakes

Now you're talking!

Can I register a very specific Tunnocks-based grumble?

I am working on <project> in <outdoor environment> wherein there are also mice. Today we were on site for the first time since Saturday, and I went to my <outdoor work station>, looked in my bag of kit, which was hung on a hook on a wall, to find that my unopened pack of Caramel Logs had been replaced by empty, nibbled wrappers. The plastic, sealed wrappers, not caramel wafer paper ones. Bastard, arsehole mice, I was looking forward to a caramel log.

(I also note that the mice have been nibbling <chemical product> and <other chemical product>, so they're probably bionic little fuckers by now)

(Vague descriptions to avoid outing)

@SpikyHatePotato How kind you are to feed the poor hungry little mice. Did they leave you any of the packet? Or at least a large tip?
