The Bluestocking: home of the ice-cold Mojito foot-bath

[MarieDeGournay]

Welcome all to the Bluestocking Women's Pub, where food and drink are free as in gluten free, calorie free, alcohol free - but still delicious. And free free too, of course.
Served by highly professional staff who are gerbils.

The Bluestocking Ice-Cold Mojito Foot-bath kept us deliciously cool through the heatwave. Come and join us, in case there's another one🌞

I love all the green veg, and now we roast Brussels sprouts, I’ll even eat those.

😁and what marvellous portraits they embroider of their friends and relations, since you have spared their fingers.

(I don't actually eat fish either, but have had some tasty vegan "fish fingers" and really good mayo made from chickpeas instead of eggs. I assume in the Bluestocking we can be served fish fingers that have exactly the right taste and texture, while being free of fish or allergens or whatever necessary)

There’s a fabulous vegan fish & chip shop in Brighton called No Catch (I think).

I’m having cauliflower with a bit of leek and wholewheat pasta in cheese sauce for dinner tonight.

I'm sure you will enjoy it, but

Cauliflower no
Leek no
Wholewheat pasta no
Cheese sauce no.

I'll just have toast and watch you eat.

Bugger. No bread my end. I'll have porridge

The gerbils can make anything taste like something else.

Admittedly it's not always intentional. I believe the turkey flavoured custard went down well with the goats though.

Hmm. I would give the turkey flavoured custard a try. Cautiously.

Do the gerbil gardeners grow their own fruit & veg?

I was wondering if Grape & Goblet might make wine & Gallon & Grains be in charge of beer.

There's a cafe round here called "Veggie Perrins- I didn't get where I am today by eating meat".

That's brilliant!
I used to use that line at work when I had all male colleagues when 'accused' of being ' one of those awful women's libbers.'
'I didn't get where I am today by not being one of those awful women's libber'
which both defused the situation, and was 100% true

I was going to complain about how fed up I am with the work still going on and continuing tomorrow, but then I remembered Hedgy's Game, and what I should be saying is what a wonderful day I've had romancing my International Woman of Mystery😍

In Hedgy"s game I am spending the evening writing another blockbuster. Or deciding which gardening programmes i shall fund.

How did you find Camilla, was she terfy on the QT 😃

I think pasta is Jools Oliver, Jamie’s wife

Boiled is deffo Di Rowling, hence all the disappearing, when really on the yacht

I think Edith is a direct descendant of Beatrix Potter who has inherited her ancestress’s love of nature & way with words, who has published at least one book & is on the verge of signing a contract to present her own TV series.

Wolf is really Julie Bindel.

This is a fun game thank you Hedgy , though I haven't come up with any clever suggestions myself, I'm enjoying other people's😄

Dean elderberry is Carol Klein

Can I be Mary Anning?

No she is dead, you cannot throw me off your scent, Monty Doms wife

<runs away screaming at the idea of being married to Monty Don>

I have evidence that i will not disclose here.

Can I be Maya Forstater?

chersfrozen face is probably Madonna or maybe Kylie
