Bloody Hell! I’m going to have to go for another bowl! Double nuts!

Magpiecomplex · 16/09/2025 21:15

Do you think an actual IRL hot chocolate might help me recover from the trauma of being savaged by a beast akin to a T. rex? I think it might.

Certainly worth trying.

Oh I’d go for bacon and HP if you can be bothered to cook it.

1min 30 secs in the microwave or 4 mins 30 seconds in the air fryer.

I'll think about it.

Oh that’s ok then.
prawn and cucumber is more sunny lunch or teatime rather than supper isn’t it?

Yeah it's a bit cold and I have a need for stodge tonight

Air fryer bacon is amazing.

What beast was this @Magpiecomplex
Have I kissed something important?

Swashbuckled · 16/09/2025 21:18

Missed!

FuzzyPuffling · 16/09/2025 21:18

I'm getting adverts for bacon now. And I

don't eat bacon.

Isn't it. How does it make it taste so nice?

Can’t blame her for wanting to take a selfie, what with all her elegant dashingness tonight.

Swashbuckled · 16/09/2025 21:22

It’s the crisped to perfection thing, I think. I do like my bacon so I can snap it.

And the delicious crispy bacon rind

Thanks @Magpie.That does all sound very traumatising.

And I’m very impressed by the link to part way through a thread thing! Who knew?

Magpiecomplex · 16/09/2025 21:34

First time I've tried it Swashy, I'm quite impressed with myself! I'm in full agreement with you on the requirement for <the b-word> to be crispy. Absolutely the only acceptable approach.

Sorry... I'm distracted.. Bluestocking, Sewing Bee AND Real v Marseille on at the same time😬

I'm sure the match is on the big screen in the bar, Marie, so you can join Maud's party while keeping one eye on the score. And you can catch Sewing Bee later.

The gerbils are fighting a losing battle. It took them ten minutes to get her standing and outside. The fireworks may well be over by the time they get her to turn round

She’s got 71 votes on her S&B thread, though I suspect quite a few haven’t bothered to RTFT before voting else the ‘something else’ option would be doing better.
