Title: I’m bored!!
Post by: oldspice on November 07, 2004, 04:10:18 pm

Where is everyone? I've done loads of housework, loads of prep work for next week and even some studying (I'm doing a course in adult learning theories) and now I'm bored and lonley.


I've made some leek and potato soup in my slow cooker and roasted a gammon joint for tonight's dinner - who wants to come round??

Potato and Leek soup is a boring soup, and a funny thing to make if you're bored.

You should have made Celeriac and Turnip soup with plenty of Tabasco sauce.

I live in the Fens! We grow leeks and potatoes! I like celeriac though. I'll buy some when I next go shopping and make some soup. I've got some Butternut Squash in the larder. I could have mde soup from that.

Must be the night for soup! I had carrot and sweet potatoe....topped off with a 'Flake Dipped' and the new Bridget Jones film (which is excellent, btw)! Very nice evening...

Well I had roast beef, followed by Toblerone icecream (don't think I'll buy it again though) then a pub quiz which we didn't win.  Pretty good evening all round.  Where were you Loulou, I saved you some!

I've been in Bakewell all weekend with my girlfriend and have eaten my own weight in Bakewell pudding with lashings of hot custard.

Oh damn not only did I miss out on the roast beef but I missed the pub quiz too. I like pub quiz's, never know any answers but i do like them.


Isn't Bakewell near the lake district?

Bakewell is in the Derbyshire Peak District.  It's a beautiful area.  If you've never been there it's unlikely that you've had GENUINE Bakewell Pudding.  It's nothing like Bakewell tart, which is just a spin off.  It's quite sloppy.

The Rules of Chocolate


1. If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.

2. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.

3. The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.

4. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.

5. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.

6. If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet? Don't they actually counteract each other?

7. Money talks. Chocolate sings.

8. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

9. Q. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
A. Because no one wants to quit.

10. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.

11. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?

12. If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?
