Food and Drink #18

Face masks, my ears are so sore from mask wearing, plus rash on my face, and eczema flare on hand. Have tried strap across back of head, but mask doesn’t stay up. Anybody any ideas?

Are you wearing surgical masks for work? I bought a soft cloth mask but that's probably not much use if you're in a medical setting.

It’s not an eggcorn! I don’t think there’s an exact name for getting idioms or phrases muddled.

Have settings changed on tattle or have I been naughty somehow without meaning to be?! My private message option isn't there anymore I wanted to ask @Pocahontas if something was allowed! Gah!

What did you want to ask, JC?

 

[Captainmouse]

Has anybody here watched the blacklist?

The female chef, Liv Burt, on Saturday Kitchen, does not look well to me. Has she always looked like that?

Re: the ridiculousness of tuxie cats, my flatmate just got an excellent pic of ours.

Not knowing the difference between a teaspoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of olive oil could be problematic though and the food would taste odd!

My son made mint aero brownies recently, they were so so so good. Actually dangerous good, and he's forbidden to make them again for a while!

Are they brownies with chunks of mint Aero ?

 

[emm]

Yes! And peppermint extract. Addictive.

omg recipe please?! (as if that is what I need on my attempt to lose the million kilos gained in lockdown...)

Are they brownies with chunks of mint Aero ?

oh my god, drooling at the thought

I watched the last episode of Shitts Creek tonight. I cried 🥲

@MerchantOfTea I haven’t heard of it but sounds like a good show!

I was the exact same, I had never hear of it, and I thought I had watched every food show going. It really is great. The problem is I have no idea where you could watch it even if you wanted to!

I haven’t heard of it, but sounds .

Currently in love with Molly Yeh and her programme Girl meets Farm. If I am in the mood later I might make a laminated list of my top 5 food programmes (Spoiler: Barefoot Contessa is and always will be numero uno.)

A top 5. Now that would be controversial! I might put some thought into that myself . . .

 

[Emmapism]

Thank you

 

[Begborrowsteal]

I am just starting, so am I right in thinking they put the cameras in the profilers/daughters house? Or was it the therapists?

Oh god, im trying to think what info is shared at that point without giving anything away there is a LOT linked to Reddington

 

[Captainmouse]

I think so. I used to work with a woman I thought of as Mrs Malaprop, haha. Except when her son had ammonia instead of pneumonia, I couldn't laugh at that.

How are you following your trip to hospital?

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Oh no @Falkor I’m so sorry.

 

[emm]

what I do sometimes when I don't want to use oil is buy a tin of mackeral in tomato sauce (I get them in saisburys but I am sure they are available elsewhere, and mix that with my salad instead of a traditional dressing

 

[Mustard]

I don't understand at all how this is in either of the supermarkets' interest

Ocado have had that yogurt deal since they partnered with M&S. i think I’m going to start mixing curd and compote into plain yogurt.

 

[Captainmouse]

Has anybody brought their 2nd jab forward?

 

[emm]

Thanks / is it only available that way as delivery is more than the oil.

I get it in the asian supermarket near my house or in china town, (I think even the sainsbury's near me stocks it now, but more expensively) that was justthe first place that came up for the picture!

I regret to inform my fellow north eastern origin fraus that lidl (normally great) is describing these puffs of air as "mini stotties"
