Yes, I rather think I do, please. There are Goblins in my garden, seemingly, cavorting and snickering, and events elsewhere are not behaving entirely satisfactorily and I am Fed Up.

Now Iāll worry about you and have horrible sleep and weāll both be Fed Up in the morn. Matching bookends, I suppose we could be.

Sorry, Soo. Please do not fret the Beely Head. The Ma is on good form - I am speaking to her at the moment - so itās not a DEFCON 3-grade worry.
Sleep well.
Is it possible to make Bathtub Vodkity (or Gin) from clothes which no longer fit?

In the sense that you forgo eating it altogether ??

That was how I took it, Armers.
However, the cabbage Bolognese problem wasnāt one of taste but of texture. Either cabbage or pasta: but not both, my darlings.

A good crispy crunchy bit of cabbage might not be too bad, but it would have to be the next thing to raw.
Gānight all.

Raw is my preferred version , Dunnock, but I do like cooked Savoy cabbage

Gus, what was that dish I made that I posted about it turning out rather unpleasant in texture, some combination that is not to be recommended? I canāt find the thread. I remember throwing the whole lot away after trying in vain to rescue it and I remember you saying, āAh, this and that do not go well together as texturesā, but Iām blowed if I remember what I put with what!

With pleasure, Gus, and donāt worry. I just remember you thinking that it would be bound to turn out badly and it did. Hmm ā¦ it was to thicken it up, so what could it have been? Iāll have a search in one of our cooking threads.

Thatās the one, found it! Chickpeas were the culprit!
āThis is what happened: I made a delicious leek and potato soup with the white parts of the leeks and then I wanted to use up the tougher green parts so I made a leek and onion soup which turned out too thin. I then made the mistake of adding a tin of chickpeas to thicken it, [Edited to add: blended it with a stick blender] and Iām finding the texture rather unattractive, a bit gloopy. It doesnāt have the silky texture of a cream soup, nor the rough texture of a soup with bits in it. Iāve tried adding some spices, ground coriander, cumin and cayenne, but somehow that doesnāt help. What am I to do with this green sludge now that Iāve taken against it? Throw it out, I suppose, in the end, though I hate wasting food.ā

Any good Cat recipes? He seems to be regarding me as prey so I might as well return the compliment.

Funny you should mention that. We have three weeks supply of cat food. If we run out of cat food and human food at the same time, we plan to eat the cat.

I have wept eating rabbit (YES, I AM A BASTARD) finding bones that I thought might fit neatly into a cat. I am shit at being a vegetarian. I am also shit at being a carnivore. But I will make excellent compost, eventually.
Yeah, thereās enough to fatten up the Oaf ands I do have dried fruit enough for a really interesting stuffing. But he is a good wee fellow so perhaps I shall let him feast on my corpse instead.

What makes you think you get to choose, Dere? She wants to be fattened, she will be. Were you particularly fond of that leg?
