As a proper grown up in the 70s grapefruit was never even a twinkle in the eye of a prawn.
Grapefruit was served with a maraschino cherry on top as a starter.
Prawn cocktail was the height of sophistication but delicious. I don’t know how anyone could bugger up a Marie Rose sauce. It’s easy and nice, it was the prawns that was the luxury ingredient. I remember my mum making just the sauce and using it to top lettuce and cucumber.
ETA deleted last sentence. I was talking to my sister about Jack and wrote what I was thinking.

Would you rather.....
Eat Brenda’s bangers or the Xmas brick of sadness and bread mincemeat pudding?
No need to reply.

I would rather chop my arms off and have bleeding stumps than eat that.
This is going to be good.

When is the awards ceremony for the results of "The Sloppies"? I know there was a discussion about which day of this weekend it should be, what was the day chosen?

Ah the wonderful Christmas when I reluctantly agreed to a 4 day visit with at the in-laws. Arrived to find the alcohol situation consisted of 1 bottle of wine. One. There was 6 of us for Christmas dinner. I don’t want to sound like I have a problem - but one 125ml glass of wine for 4 days doesn’t scream Christmas cheer.
We couldn’t even leave as we had gone by train.
This is the couple who have no problem scarfing down 1/2 a bottle of Prosecco, a bottle of red wine and spirits each over an evening, when someone else, and by someone else I mean us is paying for it

Brilliant, I’ll start blending the baking spread, flour, lard and milk now for the custard dessert.

Finally I am getting into the festive mood!
What are we all doing at Christmas? Locking ourselves in the bathroom, possibly at the in-laws, to sing Pie Jesu in a Coven zoom conference? Only that we would not be able to sing bc of...laughter.
