Food & Drink #3

[Mel Donte]

A post mine was deleted a couple of days ago but the notification didn't mention any points so I don't know if I'm on the naughty list.

Anyway. Food and drink. I'm going to drunkenly create some sort of 3am snack. It won't be slop though.

EDIT: Made my snack and it was bloody lovely. Some very scrappy hand-pulled noodles using some of the dough that I have resting for tomorrow's pasta. In a broth made from these magic stock cubes, some light soy sauce and a little bit of garlic oil.

Do you get a message when you get points? I never check my notifications (or what emojis people leave in response to my posts ) so I've probably missed mine

I turned off all notifications the day I started posting! It's great, I still get PMs as they're separate, but I'm one of those people who can't handle having a little red number in the corner.

Just to bring it back to the ‘alleged’ topic for a sec, I had an entire pack of sugarsnap peas for dinner, steamed and smothered in butter, lemon juice and salt and pepper. It was one of those randomly quick and simple things - I’ve been BUSY - but they were so so delicious

Oh I love simple things like that . Buttery, garlicky green beans are a fave of mine, and I can eat a whole bowlful of buttered peas on their own, with plenty of white pepper, sometimes some mint. Ooh and simply stir-fried broccoli Love green veggies.

Anyone make kale chips? Love those too with Maldon salt and cayenne pepper.

Morning all!

I have significant desires to experience the Southend funfair. I am also an Estuary Frau from across the water but I have never been to actual Southend.

Come over for a visit!


I started getting the annoying username covering adverts last week. Had to switch to chrome where it doesn’t happen.

@Badlyplatedflapjacks congratulations!!

Not to rub salt in anyone's employment wounds but I had an interview today and got the job! I interview much better over Zoom it turns out.

Aww congratulations Flappers! I remember your redundancy woe and am so pleased for you! Maybe you could consider a Cotswold bedside table or mini bookcase as a stepping stone celebration?

Morning meine Fraus! I am terrible are remembering who recommended what, so forgive me, but whoever said to add a little bit of butter to the pan when you're making rice absorption style, I thank thee! Had it two nights in a row with my burnt aubergine chilli (from the freezer) and all the accoutrements (jalapeno, coriander, creme fraiche with lemon juice added to make it into soured cream) and what can I say other than HUBBA HUBBA?!

Morning frauen! I'm feeling very happy today BUT will pop this under spoiler tag for ED mention just to be on the safe side.

Spoiler: weight

I had quite a traumatic experience a couple of years ago, and it led to me gaining a load of weight and then struggling for ages with relapses into bulimia (which causes more weight gain because bulimia really is tit). Anyway, since I moved house a couple of months ago I've been working on taking control of myself in a healthy way. Nothing obsessive but through good food, exercise and better habits, I have gradually been getting back to my old self. Today I am wearing a dress I haven't fit into since 2017. It's a little tight but duck me, I'm feeling ecstatic to be putting the bad times behind me!

PS I made the dress myself. I do fear triangulation, but honestly, what are the chances that Jack would click on a thread about Food & Drink?

I'm torn between being ashamed at the lack of effort I put into my midnight snacks compared to you (a slice of toast or a whole pack of biscuits usually, or the chippy if I'm drunk) and wanting to move in with you post haste!

Wow, lovely dress, I am in AWE of anyone who can create something like this with their bare hands.

Morning all.
Thinking about having cake for breakfast.

Haha I wish it had been something brilliant, but I made a post many many mother threads ago asking for advice. I had come on that morning to a notification requesting I switch off my ad blocker. Totally happy to do so to support the site, but then I had a problem with a big ad on the left that was just wide enough to obscure the usernames on all the posts. I couldn't close it/refreshing didn't help etc.

So, I posted in the forum saying that i was happy to switch off the ad block but did anyone have any tips on closing the sidebar ad only cos I couldn't see who was who and thought I may have missed something obvious etc etc.

I received a warning notification from admin for 2 points for moaning about ads. But the notification doesn't click through into anything, and there is nothing anywhere to say you can't discuss ads, what points mean, and more specifically I wasn't being negative.
I asked on the board I used because I thought I might be missing something easily fixable, I think my post may have also been deleted, I didn't see it again post warning.

It was a little deflating haha, but I haven't seen the side ad since that day either?
I am also only posting for context and not to complain as I have found some things confusing here, and I have seen other members posting on the celeb threads discussing the ads so maybe it was okay after a bit?

whatdod

Morning all.

[GothPrincess]

I had a bite of the cake. It was dry. How disappointing.

Morning frauen! I'm having homemade blackberry coulis for breakfast with soya yoghurt and it's delicious!

Drool to all of that! I love kale chips but recently managed to spend half the day at work with a big bit stuck to my front tooth. Nobody told me !
