this sounds amazing, tempted to drag myself to the butcher (that always somehow has an insane queue) to get beef so I can have this tomorrowoh bless you! I thought scotland were sending there kids back to school after half term?
slightly obscene lunch today...leftover roast beef sandwiches with horseradish and pickled onions dipped in leftover gravy . The smell of gravy was enough to drag my 10 year old away from tending to her orchard on animal crossing...
Sadly only primary 1-3 going back next week,so first 3 age groups, mine miss those years so still an unknown amount of weeks of HS to go! Roast beef sandwiches are amazing, not had any left to make them!oh bless you! I thought scotland were sending there kids back to school after half term?

Good looking churros!! Now I'm tempted to go out to the churro van...I've had a bad stomach today so not the best idea but we're past carnival now so the churro van must surely be leaving town soon and I'm getting churro FOMO.Good morrow. I made some churros on the weekend and was quite chuffed with how they turned out (despite the piping bag bursting twice and me splashing hot oil on my ankle). View attachment 437573
Gosh I learn so much about other countries from this site. It makes me go away and learn more as I always feel so ignorant. This is scary but thank(space)you for sharing.Good looking churros!! Now I'm tempted to go out to the churro van...I've had a bad stomach today so not the best idea but we're past carnival now so the churro van must surely be leaving town soon and I'm getting churro FOMO.
(I have no idea what the churro van guys do for a living in the summer months...hmm...)
Our election is over. We had record low turnout because of covid. The good news (for me and my friends at least!) is that pro-independence parties got over 50% of the total vote for the first time, even after they all ran horrendously poor campaigns marred by major infighting. But sadly low turnout is always good for extremists, so now we have 11 fascists in parliament, which is horrifying. We had the fascist party in town this week handing out leaflets that literally claim the independence movement is a front for radical Islam, so for them to get any kind of platform is very scary indeed.
Maybe I will go out to the churro van after all...
Another pandemic pregnancy hereI lurk here so much and rarely contribute - I struggle to keep up with the MT and PWTM threads. So most of my reading time is when I’ve been to the loo in the night and can’t get back to sleep. I’m currently with lamb so have found myself catching 2-3 hour stints of sleep each night.
absolutely love all the sheep chat. Brings some lightheartedness to life as we know it. I’ve struggled during this lockdown as someone said up thread - it feels likes there’s no end. I’ve not seen any family or friends for my entire pregnancy so far (it’s my first too). Don’t have many photos of me as we don’t go anywhere. Even going outside is stressful as I live in London and paths and parks are busy. I get quite stressed out because I’m always moving for other people and they don’t seem to care about distancing - especially joggers who for some reason always wait until they’re next to me to heavily breathe out!!!
Apologies for sounding like such a Debbie downer - I am really lucky as my husband is just amazing. We both just miss being able to head out to the countryside to go for long walks (which would actually be less of a risk than us walking round the local park!!) and I want to feel less anxious about not getting covid when we do get to see people.
These look incredibleGood morrow. I made some churros on the weekend and was quite chuffed with how they turned out (despite the piping bag bursting twice and me splashing hot oil on my ankle). View attachment 437573
Please adopt me.I also made some brownies if anyone else needs any baked or fried sugary treat inspirationView attachment 438247
Hope you got a GP appointment/some answers for the rash?Sorry I’m so delayed in replying, I have 3 pages to catch up on too so sorry if chat has changed and I’m putting this amongst something v serious!
omg yes!! Love love love raspberries, what a cutie! It’s his little baby language to the world, it’s funny when they find it funny too.
It sounds like you’re doing amazingly with your new diet & feeding, I’m shocked at how common milk/lactose allergies are, I’d say about a quarter of our WhatsApp group has them! Although for reasons I can’t remember some of them have gone back and tried “normal” formula and been successful, or are climbing the milk ladder as part of weaning and are doing very well so hopefully the universe will catch you a break some time soon! On eggs - this is v JM of me but have you had scrambled tofu? I love eggs but the concept of what they are does me in tbh, so opt for that and LOVE it!
Baby HTRIA is a cutie, she’s started developing a sense of humour and she’s genuinely funny / in my extended isolation I’ve regressed to a state where she’s an emerging comedic talentShe has her first tooth bless her, fuck me it’s hell though isn’t it - would sooner get all my teeth taken out just to give her them to avoid those sad baby cries when it gets too much. I feel guilty giving her anbesol as it’s got alcohol in it and where neither of us would be happy taking it is it fair to give it her? :/ tbh it’s medicine not eyelid sausages isn’t it, should just get over it!
We’re at my MILs up north now (legally allowed forming a support bubble for babies under 1 year, we were going crazy we had to leave :/) and I’m struggling. Currently sat on a step outside the room she’s in praying she doesn’t stir again! This is a big house but there’s simply not enough room for a baby as his sister insists on keeping everything from childhood and her 20s (she’s nearly 40) so the house is overrun with piles and piles of shit. SIL is a difficult person so it’s not a conversation that can be had, and clearly why the poor mum has her house like this, but anyway because of this baby wasn’t able to sleep in my room which is obviously gutting. I cried because it’s the furthest apart we’ve ever been and I know it didn’t go down well with MIL. Baby has now been moved between 3 different rooms over the last 3 nights for various reasons all relating to why the house just is not suitable. Can’t fall asleep watching her on the baby cam cos there’s no where safe to put it that wouldn’t mean the camera’s wire being somewhere dangerous or balancing it on top of a possible land slide of shite. Tonight I get her back to sleep and step back and a PILE OF TILES left on the ducking floor came crashing down so she woke up super alert. It’s just stressful and frustrating, now my husband knows I won’t come back here until it’s either cleared (when hell freezes over) or she’s old enough to sleep in a bed with me (because of choking hazards amongst these piles of shite) so god knows when he’ll drive us back home. I’m not a 1950s oppressed woman saying that, I just can’t confidently drive the vehicle we took and I’m not sure if I’m still even insured on it! Sorry for the massive pointless overshare it’s just nice to RELEASE on my step! Xxxxxx
Happy belayed Valentine’s Day guys, so glad for these threads in lockdown / never ending covid.Can’t wait to catch up and see what meals and #romance you’ve all had.
I got gifted a massive face rash from the gods so spent my v day googling sepsis and shingles. Hopefully will get a GP appt tomorrow for a cure, but until then I daren’t leave the house, a visible rash is bad enough much less during a pandemic! Will end up tasered by one of those covid enforcement agents / like when Shrek was run out the village x
Snap!Please adopt me.
I make an “ordinary “ pancakes. All the possible toppings are put on the table - sugar, currants and fresh lemon juice, variety of jams and Nutella.What kind of pancakes does everyone normally make? Classic crepes or fluffy American-style? I need inspiration, I haven't made pancakes on pancake day for maybe ten years (please don't excommunicate me) but I'm quite tempted this year.
Last time I made hotteok as I was obsessed with Korean cooking at the time. Definitely recommend if you want something a bit different and don't mind spending a little more time on it.
Yeppp that’s exactly the syrup I’m planning on having! Sticky high fiveI’ve got some aunt jemima’s mix in for this year cos I’ve got addicted to buying shite off Amazon
I didn’t buy syrup because then I’d put it in errrrrrrrythang. I’ll have honey or lemon and sugar and kid will have NutellaYeppp that’s exactly the syrup I’m planning on having! Sticky high five
Edit: oh whoops you said mix, not syrup
Mmm they look delicious! Might have to add them to my repertoire - thanks for the useful link - zoinks!What kind of pancakes does everyone normally make? Classic crepes or fluffy American-style?
