Wondering about the quiche..... if the one she made was crustless could it have still been called a quiche?

Just because she is clever with words and if it can’t then she could she claim that she never ACTUALLY made a quiche.

I don’t really know why I give a about a quiche though.....

Maybe it's so there's one to keep and one to give away. I don't know about you, but I've always wanted someone to send me a postcard of a drawing of some Sainsbury's Basics passata. Still waiting, though.

Slimming world do a crustless quiche or they did back in the day. Consisted of egg. Cottage cheese and probably broccoli. A weird abomination that you fling in a bowl and bake in the oven.

Just googled. They still do.

Pear and vinegar to copy the taste of cider? Has she been watching that Mr Bean NYE episode where he runs out of wine so he serves up vinegar and sugar?

Waiting for her to dip actual twigs in marmite for her next "I just thought of it in my head" recipe!

It was back in red day green day. My pal lost 3 stones and I swear all she ate was boil in the bag beef and mashed tattles.

I was stuck with that and cheese ravioli. Back in the days I was veggie and not vegan.

It was grim. Took me about ten months to lose ten pounds. Not worth the crap I ate at that point

And in those days they used to announce your weight to the whole class and whether you had gained or lost.

This is actually pretty depressing esp straight after @TVC15's post but I can't help but notice that this is the third mention of alcohol she's made today. Mulled wine, brandy, and now cider.

It certainly seems intentional.
Perhaps BB isn't there & this is the relationship bat-signal?

ETA. Also, see references to lascivious noises & softy, soft soft soft pear juice dribbling down her chin.

Why would somebody struggling with mobility - such as if they had, well, Arthritis - want to cook with the MOST difficult foods? Tins are evil.

They're too heavy to carry home. They require grip strength to operate a tin opener. They require finger strength, grip strength and wrist/elbow/arm strength to open ringpulls. And when your hands give out or the ringpull snaps, you're back to trying desperately to hold the handles of the opener together tightly enough whilst your palm feels rather like your feet do when you're standing on Lego, grasp the twisty bit with fingers and a thumb that are screaming for mercy and then your wrist, elbow and shoulder are burning with the effort required to turn the cunting thing.

And then you don't quite manage to get the top off and you slice your thumb open trying to prise it up with a knife.
