:) I know, I'm so predictable, but we like what we like... and anyway if I were to break with tradition Anita would be worried. She worries about me anyway. I should get a bottle of Tizer with it to complete the set, but it just doesn't taste the way it used to.Quote:

never heard of butter pie?Quote:

Probably not good for anyone. I've not had one in years, and I can't say I've missed them. The lunch I take to work in the winter months is always a flask of soup with some seeded bread for dipping. Tomato and Basil yesterday.Quote:

Goodness, you must have been pretty heavy handed with them. Did you screw the top on too tightly, or did they cracked through dropping them on a very hard surface?Quote:

Sound like someone should make a soft cover for them to prevent damage from falling onto a hard surface.
That's a business opportunity you should follow up.
Homemade chicken veg soup. Very good

I don't get it. If someone can just stop drinking alcohol for a whole month for no good reason, they clearly don't have a problem. And January is probably the most miserable month, so why make it worse? A week tomorrow (24th) will be the official most depressing day of the year, sounds like as good a reason as any to get pissed :)Quote:

I've been avoiding situations recently myself but I've had an occasional glass of Bailey's in the evening that someone gave me for Christmas. It's rather pleasant.
I should have a wet January to make up for a crappy New Year's eve.
I spent it at a mate's house, where we went to his local for a couple of beers, then back to his to see the new year in. I 'd known I wouldn't want any more beer so I'd taken along a bottle of chardonnay that had been kicking about in the fridge for a few weeks, that'll do for me :)
I did not know that Anita's thieving youngest son had drunk it all and refilled the bottle with water and put it back in the fridge, the little shitbag. The result being that I saw the new year in with a can of Pepsi Max :(
should have cut his bollocks off:chainsaw:Quote:

And the realisation that this year looks to be just as crappy as the last. Good job I have such a sunny disposition to see me through :)
Absolutely. Some may say that would be disproportionate, but not me. And it would be doing the world a favour :)Quote:

I could just go a bowl of that right now :) And I like parmesan, even though it does smell a bit like baby sick.Quote:

I think so too, but I'm just having a tin of Heinz pea and ham soup. The soup maker we got for Christmas is still in its box.
When out at work I have soup in a flask, always cheapo items, and I break at least one flask every winter (pea ham and broken glass soup isn't as tasty as it sounds), but my mate has given me his spare flask.
Same as this:

They're not cheap, but are guaranteed a lifetime, so should see me out :) Bloody hell that pic came out big, bigger than the actual flask
That reminds me of a Geordie fellow undergraduate student I knew. He had a full bottle of Chivas Regal proudly on display. When I asked if I could have a 'nip', he said "Sure - help yourself". He could afford to be magnanimous - the bottle was filled with cold tea!Quote:

Looking forward to the results..:drinking:
Chicken wrapped in bacon with bulgar wheat

Filled my fancypants new flask with boiling water out of the kettle at 10pm, and at 8am the water was still scalding hot. Today's soup (Scotch Broth) was as hot as you need it to be, so I'd say the flask is worth every penny I didn't pay for it :)
Downside is it's my mate's birthday in March, and now I'm gonna have to get him something decent :( Then again I did give him my old B&W DM603s which he never plays, so sod him.
King prawns marinated in a chilli and coriander sauce, on bed of fresh tagliatelle pasta. Tenderstem brocolli and carrot on the side.
No photos - couldn't be bothered, but I guess you know what it would look like. ;)
Steak n mash. Super tender

Looks lovely. :)
Beef casserole and cheesy mash (and I hadn’t even seen Grant’s post)
