    Happy anniversary mingo, when J and I had our last few days away we cooked fillet steak for the first time, ooh it was good.

    Mima, bananas have to be just right for me to eat but as you say fab in a smoothie.

    I opted for homemade chicken soup from the freezer for lunch in the end.

    And another happy anniversary from me to Mingo ... may we ask which one? And can you give the name of it without googling it? (meaning paper, diamond, porcelain or whatever)

    Rest assured there will definitely be a fried egg on top of the bubble and squeak. It's not proper b & s without.

    Love chicken soup...I've yet to make a good one.

    And I needs bananas and berries for more smoothies. I have a sports massage booked for tonight at 8.15 image not really looking forward to it but it needs doing.

    Mima I make stock from the leftover roast then simmer that with stripped off chicken, leftover veg and usually sweetcorn and onion, parsley, black pepper. Blitz it up and freeze it in batches.

    I'd like a poached egg with mine please Muttley.

    It's our 9th and Muttley, I have no idea...pottery?

    Bananas have about a 12 second window when they're nice. Otherwise they're either unripe or too ripe. Ick.

    Thanks for the warning Autumn, that sounds pretty grim!

    Cheese and ham toastie for lunch I think...I quite like halloumi Mima, great marinated and then BBQ'd, but you're right, definitely squeaky teeth cheese! image

    I'm getting my latest trip to the sports doc paid for...things are a bit tight at the moment! I'll be making a cake for the other half.

    Blimey - I barely made it to 4 years with my OH (made it to 3, split up, got back together again 6 months later)  - although we're not "married" and not likely to be...and even if we were I doubt she'd ever go in for anniversary marking....we struggle with Christmas and birthdays as it is.

    My parents have been married 30 years in November and together nearly 35 years...sweet.

    Beebs - that sounds delicious soup! I may have to make a roast chicken JUST so I can have soup! And I can buy those funky soup bags for the freezer from Lakeland...ooooh!

    Mingo, it was a Ping Pong - are they not particularly good?  I've never had dim sum before, so can't compare.

    I'm getting fed up of getting wet twice a day going over London bridge!

    The dim sum portions seemed small, but the liquid content of the allegedly 'long' cocktail were even smaller.  I've never seen so much ice in a glass image

    Tonight I shall mostly be replacing the tube in the back wheel of my old bike, before giving it away image

  • Options
    Ping pong is ok, but it's a bit generic if you know what I mean...boo to short long cocktails. If you fancy having a go again imo there are better places.

    It was a work thing, I don't really go out in London much (or anywhere else for that matter!).  I went because it was someone's leaving dinner.

    I really do prefer to go home!  I make better cocktails, too image

    In none humdrum news J has just phoned and said lets eave everyone at home and go out and eat tonight. 

    Hope that isn't too exciting image

    pah to small overpriced cocktails,Wikie

    Ahhhhh Beebs...that is so cute! I think J has the right idea - go out and have a fab date!

    Cocktails...oh I LOVE cocktails...but not tiny ones! That is just a tease.

    Hee. The 10th anniversary of my decree absolute is up soon. I keep planning to have it framed and hung in the loo - only decision is which end of the room to hang it and should I admire it when standing up or sitting down to do my business?
  • Options
    Happy anniversary mingo. I also enjoy the freedom a decree absolute brings Muttley, but then got myself a husband v2 so hoping not to be starting a collection. Poached egg for me too, not keen on the fried ones. Popped into Waitrose earlier, Thursday afternoon is THE time for bargains, some half price crab starters tonight after spinning, and maybe a second run today to earn extra wine points.
  • Options

    Damn. Pouring again and very dark. Missed the train so I'll get the next one.

    I'm starving, literally cannot stop being hungry! Reheated pasta bake before the massage of doom tonight...what an exciting life I lead!

    Muttley I do like your humour image

    Kate F do you call him the current MrF like Wogan does  image

    I did Asda and the school pick up as the younger ones had stayed on for GCSE classes.

    I'm delighted that he suggested it Mima. Curry or Chinese is the decision. 

  • Options
    I do remind him sometimes the reason he doesn't get upgraded to v3 is that it's a real pain to change my surname again. I'd say curry, but a Thai one. I'll go for your massage mima, my ITB loves a pummelling.
  • Options

    Don't have Thai in my bit of Somerset, Katie image

    I need my neck and shoulder unknotting if there is a massage on offer.

    Beebs - its the neck and shoulder with me too...hoping he can give me some biomech advice too...fingers and vertebrae crossed.

    I managed 12 years with the first Mrs Muttley (there is no Mrs Muttley Mk 2 in the offing). I did refer to her occasionally as the current Mrs but she was from foreign parts and didn't get the joke. She also hated the phrase "the" wife.

    Nor did she appreciate my Les Dawson stylee mother-in-law gags (eg, "I always know when it's your mother at the door, cos the mice throw themselves on the traps").

    I had planned bubble and squeak but in the event it was closer to Colcannon. I did it with some goose fat lurking at the back of the fridge. Two eggs. All gone, none left <burp>.

  • Options

    Gosh what exciting fridges we have with halloumi, hoummus and starter yeast stuff. v1 also lasted 6 years for me Cinders, clearly that's when they need an upgrade. You clearly had a long lasting model Muttley.

    Beebs, oh I understand, I'm originally a Wiltshire girl and I think a Thai takeaway is still about a decade away.

    I loooooove squeaky cheese! I thought I was the only one that called it squeaky (I miss the 'teeth' off though). It's my favourite thing to have at a bbq.

    Today I have mostly been sniffling. And coughing. And sneezing image I feel humdrum all over.

  • Options

    Morning

    *sprays Nykie with anti bac* Hope you feel better soon. 

    Cinders as much as anything it was to get away from the kids and have some grown up time.

    Katie I'm very close to the Wiltshire border and have been for Thai a few times in Bath although not recently.

    Morning - a run this morning with no rain, did see two snails though so the slug is going to have to find a new partner. Muttley, do you think the problem with v1 was that you had the operating instructions in the wrong language? Beebs, you must be in my part of the world, on the holy trinity on the Wiltshire/Dorset/Somerset border, I can say tractor in 3 different accents.
