What you been doing for the last two hours? (pt3)

[madzone]

However, I'm just pissed, so you can take your minging beetroot, and stuff it up yer arse, sideways

What makes you think I haven't already?

 

[sojourner]

What makes you think I haven't already?

And with that last word from madz, we all know she's wankered

(I've got dusty on - wankered)

 

[moomoo]

I've been having my hair french plaited by the teen. She took revenge for all the times I pulled too hard while doing her hair and I look ridiculous tbf. I've been banned from watching the boy play football tomorrow though - result.

Boil up some beetroot (skin on) till tender when pierced with a knife. When it's done, skin it, chop it into dice and while still hot/warm toss it in a dressing made from:

5 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
juice of half a lemon
1 tsp soft brown sugar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground
1 clove garlic, mashed up with a teaspoon of salt
3 spring onions, chopped very fine

Cover and leave to stand for at least 30 minutes before serving. It's really nice

Reading that post has made me feel really sad The only thing my Dad used to make food wise was the legend known as "chopped salad" which basically involved beetroot and a load of other stuff chopped into a very small dice and mixed together. Sadly, he never passed the recipe on to me or my Mum or brother before he died

Back to the thread - I have been at the cinema watching Juno. Which is a very cute film in the best sense of the word

Feeling a bit weepy, but in a good way. Spent quite a bit of time on the phone to my daughter. My eldest (adopted) traced her biological siblings abroad and went to see them and I've just seen the photos. They haven't seen each other for nearly 30 years, and only recently did the overseas siblings even realise they had a sister. It went well which is a massive relief to me. Her biological parents know nothing about any of this, or even that the siblings have found out they have a sister. It's all a bit scary. My daughter's siblings have a lot to lose in all this which worries me as they are blameless in the the way my daughter was treated.

 

[avu9lives]

Fuck knows why I made 3 beets' worth, it's only me that likes it

I am looking forward to doing a pink wee later

sorry, am I weird,but this made me piss me self

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Don't be daft, avu9lives. I read your post and it's fine....to be honest, the only reason it's in this forum and on this thread is because I didn't want it cheek by jowl with a wank thread in Nobbin' and Sobbin'.....

It's a difficult situation and obviously one that needs to be handled sensitively. We discovered a couple of years ago that my husband had a half sister and we met her a few times and then discovered another one! His dad was a bit of a tinker in his younger days. (The second sister didn't want to meet us which is fine). His mum knew we were meeting her and was fine about it but a couple of my husbands brothers and sisters were furious and refused to have anything to do with her. But she didn't get in touch with me when my husband died so I haven't seen her for a few years now.

Sorry, rambling a bit there but I think the point I'm trying to make is that imo these things are better off out in the open.

Why do you keep accusing me of being pissed?

I'm quite capable of acts of indecency whilst stony cold sober

 

[aqua]

making some sugar sweetpeas (at last ) now trying to work up the energy to ice a cake

I don't want to, nor do I want to go to hull tomorrow

 

[feyr]

trying and failing to book a taxi to the pub. trying and failiing to pick a sunflower out of my teeth

 

[feyr]

and since then, getting drunk with the sort of ex mr feyr who is out of hospital but still obviously has issues and getting hurt once again, and not knowing what to do for the best gah

 

[red rose]

Drinking white wine spritzers, attending to my almost-but-not-quite-broken hand and annoying the boyfriend over msn

Oooooh and also refraining from writing condescending but polite emails to my bitchy flatmate

 

[HeroineSheep]

Deciding it's way too hot to leave the house and I keep falling asleep anyway and I can't be bothered to wait and see if the boy actually makes it over here for coffee and to read the papers (and he's always an hour late anyway ).

Just made myself a toasted sarnie with smoked cheese, chilli, and garlic/pak choi stir fry and it was lush.

@ Red Rose: you write emails to your flatmate????!!!

 

[May Kasahara]

Sleeping, being woken up by hungry cat licking my hair, stumbling downstairs to make tea and feed animals, listening to Aled Jones on Radio 2 for a surprising amount of time because I was too lazy to get up and turn it over.

 

[pootle]

Sleeping!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Sorry, rambling a bit there but I think the point I'm trying to make is that imo these things are better off out in the open.

Normally I'd agree totally but her biological parents badly physically abused and neglected her (but not the siblings, in any way) then abandoned her in the UK, and she doesn't want contact. Can't say I blame her. She came to me in a terrible physical state.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

...and this morning I've been doing laundry, making a pot of coffee and starting off soup for lunch, only to find Enid came round yesterday and borrowed my liquidiser

 

[moose]

Trying to work out how to get from Macclesfield to Salford by public transport on a bloody bank holiday. I have now given up.

That's terribly sad, of course she wouldn't want contact with them.

I have been pottering around, chatting to the teen, gazing at beautiful sleeping boys and preparing our dinner to go in the slow cooker - get me the domestic goddess!

[Mrs Magpie]

preparing our dinner to go in the slow cooker

ooh, I want one of them...I used to have one but it was tiny....what capacity is yours?

 

[moomoo]

I've no idea. But it seems big enough for a casserole for 4.

It looks like Noah might have made it while he was building the Ark but it should do the job. It appeared in my cupboard you see, I've no idea where it came from.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I think I might spend the next two hours online looking for a decent slow cooker.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

The slow cooker fairy

 

[moomoo]

The slow cooker fairy

Must be......

I've asked all my friends and neighbours if it belongs to them and I can't remember anyone giving it to me.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Drinking beer. I'm on the last one now.

 

[madzone]

Wondering how long it'll take for my throat to stop constricting, my chest to stop hurting, my breathing to get better and my head to stop thumping.

Mr Madz got covered in diesel yesterday and it's starting to fuck me up

 

[May Kasahara]

Drinking tea, showering, moisturising, drying hair, cutting toenails, listening to The Archers. Now watching some random film on tv and eating a stupidly healthy breakfast of low fat Greek yoghurt with passionfruit, banana, red grapes and mixed seeds

 

[Badger Kitten]

Washing, putting clothes away, reading the papers and noting that there is no news, which is a good thing, watching Mr BK happily devouring the rugby reports, about to start cooking bacon and scrambled eggs, yay Sunday.
