Oh my gosh, how do you keep up with this thread and the mother thread?
I’ve completely given up the mother thread now, it’s just circles of the same (not due to the posters, due to the subject!) and I just can’t anymore. She’s worn me down but at least I can have a bit of a socialise here!

Mine and Mr A’s supper tonight was beef ragu with pappardelle, made with the leftovers from yesterday’s beef daube. As for smoking, I’m an occasional/ social smoker and was not impressed when the menthol ban came in at the end of May. Luckily we can buy these menthol flavoured cards here that you pop into your fag packet and they turn your fags menthol. They’re bloody brilliant and cost pence. Mr A isn’t a smoker himself, but he enjoys kissing me after I’ve had a cigarette.

God, I really, really want these. I love anything involving a batter of chickpea or gram flour.
If you are a few peas to the potato mix the end result is a bit like very easy samosa, in my opinion, however can confirm crowd appeal xx

I know what you mean. But it's not. And you've done amazingly well to quit. It's a horrible thing really, and the health implications are 😑 You did the right thing.
Aah thank you @GrunkaLunka I just feel I was a lot more zen when I smoked and people didn’t annoy me as much. If I can smell smoke now I turn into a meerkat trying to see where it’s coming from.

We can Grunka all night baby...

I literally picture you as Jurgen. All your adventures I just picture Jurgen doing it.

That looks delicious. Crispy roasted kale sounds lovely. How long do you roast it for and on what temp? Explain like I’m 5 please.
They are really addictive! I just rub some oil into them, spread them out flat on a baking sheet and roast them at 200c for about 10-15 mins until crisp. My one tip is to wait to add salt after they're out the oven as they become overly salty surprisingly quickly if you're not careful!

Just noticed the explain like I'm 5 bit. If you do all that cooking stuff I'll give you a pat on the head and a cookie.

Sorry I’ve skipped like 10 pages so if I’ve missed anything?? @Toffee finger sending lots of love and hope you’re okay ❤

Chips - salt, vinegar, ketchup all on top (even tho I’m more of a brown sauce girl in life?)

Trying to manage my anxiety by keeping busy and being logical / focusing on the many, many positives but it’s definitely not the easiest 😬

Watching an episode of dinner date and a man has used his fingers to put jam on a tart he’s making, the people on this show always have such dirty kitchens too

Thanks so much! I love kale but I’ve never roasted it before. Definitely going to give that a go. Can I have a sticker too?

Have we talked about Selling Sunset on Netflix yet? And if not, we should. A good one for you @heretoreaditall2019 when you’re recovering - very much like The Hills but for adults. Salacious, bitchy, amazingly sleek hair, house porn

I always remember watching an episode where the fella was a proper arse and all the woman were praying they got the ready meal.

I read dirty kitchens as dirty knickers and spent more than a few minutes wondering if I remembered the same programme. God I’m dense tonight.

Omg I love Selling Sunset. I get major house envy and I have a love/hate thing with Christine.

But also if I see one more person doing the sums on her Patreon earnings I may enter a catatonic rage from which I never recover.

Was that the one that was in London (I think) with the bloke who kept doing impressions of the women whose houses he was going to, including one who was Irish and he he kept bloody saying "DERE'S MORE TO IRELAND DAN DIS" and it was like, woah, Partridge impression wasn't funny from you the first time, please stop it. It was SO cringy. I bloody love that show, it's not like CDWM, on Dinner Date they can rarely cook which makes excellent TV. One of the women from that episode had the right hump, refused to get ready, he was an absolute knob, I would've been so annoyed that I'd gone to all the effort of making a three course meal for him to turn up.

I have to hold my hands up and apologise I was one of those people when it was first mentioned a couple of threads ago.

Haha yes I think that was the one. Apparently CDWM is quite set up, it’s not scripted as such but they kind of guide you on what to say.

I was looking for clips of that terrible Dinner Date and gave up, but did come across this... what on earth... I mean it's not "what a sad little life Jane" but still... enjoyable, I have to keep replaying it, it makes me laugh too much.

I didn't make the ones in the pic - I am potentially triangulating myself here because I am very vocal about the fact that this place is the best place to eat and drink in the whole of Brighton!

But I think the ones pictures are the crispy cauliflower and the mushroom tacos. The pulled goat tacos are absolutely to die for.
Ooh yum... I don’t live in Brighton (am I triangulating myself 😂a ?) but next holiday....

Haha the famous Dear lord, what a sad little life Jane, You ruined my night completely just so you could have the money. “I hope now you will spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump trunk without any tyres on. Take your money and get off my property.

Thank you, I need this! Mindless distractions to drift in / out of sleep to!

Omg I remember this too, take me out had an awful man too?

One of the contestants has just pushed an entire chocolate orange into a cake mix and popped it into the oven, watch out @Flumps someone’s coming for your crown 😉

Also loving 4 in a bed in lockdown, now we’re not allowed to go anywhere it feels like a dream? My bestie from sixth form visited me today & he’s been eating lunch and dinners on this help out to eat out scheme. I was asking him to describe everything in detail loving it, like tell me about the outside world pls!! Also loving @crystaleyesd’s travel pics for this same reason 😍
