do you remember...

vista curries from years ago?

can you still buy them do you know?

werent they a boil in the bag kind of meal..?

i used to think they were nice when i was young..

[looobylooo]

i think a cuppa soup would be a good starter?! boil the kettle and bobs your uncle! .. sorted! lol ...

[looobylooo]

aww ttfn, how can we help you tonight?

[ttfn]

I hate the winter time looby when my colleagues at work all make themselves a cuppa soup. By the time I get to the kitchen it smells of stale b.o. - what on earth goes into cuppa soups to make them smell that bad?

[yinyang]

Ok

Starters - 2 kinds of soup ( cup a soup or unheated Heinz tomato ) or Ritz crackers with a squeeze of Primula on them.

[ttfn]

I would do better if I could fall asleep looby - have been lying in bed for 3½ hrs and wide awake still. I would get properly plastered but have a hospital appointment tomorrow a.m.

"I've Never ... "

[looobylooo]

It's awful when that happens ttfn. Hope you get some sleep soon.

[yinyang]

Dang, was I being too fancy? Should have stuck to cubes of cheddar on a cocktail stick
:(

Sorry you're feeling bad, ttfn. Hope we're at least keeping you amused even if we can't help with the pain.

[ttfn]

Cheers ladies - I will try for sleep again now - can't find a comfy position at the pc either! sweet dreams all, ttfn

[Jan1957]

Night night ttfn. Hope hospital goes well. xxxx

I loved Vesta Chow Mien, with the crispy noodles on top!...........Haven't had one for years!................

[yinyang]

Goodnight, ttfn - hope you get a good nights sleep. Could do with one myself so know how lousy it can make you feel. Sweet dreams.

[looobylooo]

yeah, but cubes of cheddar cheese WITH pineapple ying, cant forget the pineapple now can we ... now thats quite posh without going too OTT, what do you reckon?! lol


what!!?? ..... youve never had a vesta curry jj??!! ....... oh youve not lived girl! lol ....


aww ttfn, theres nothing worse is there not being able to fall asleep ... tut .... is it that you just cant switch off in your mind thats keeping you from dropping off?

[yinyang]

Hmm, don't know about the pinapple, loooby. It might ruin the the 1000% artificial ingredients theme we've got going on. We can use half a grapefruit to hold the cocktail sticks though.

[looobylooo]

ah yes, you ve got a point there ying, yes, i hadnt thought of that.
ok, we will go with the idea of just sticking the cocktail sticks in half a grapefruit then ... yes, will look good... im liking your style! ..
hey, i think youve got a natural flair for this you know...


night night ttfn, hope you get to nod off soon, and hope the hospital goes ok tomorrow xx

[20SilkCut]

[yinyang]

I'm off now too. Got be up early to get to the Pound store for all the ingredients to my banquet. You'll all be invited of course. Just bring your own wine box.

[looobylooo]

night night, sleep well.

[looobylooo]

good evening welsh - hey did you ever get your whatsits from stoke ythat time? i cant think what they were called now. and were they as tasty and as delicious as you remembered them to be? :o)

hi silk, yeah those vesta currys were real nice in their day werent they.
im just wondering if theyd still taste as good now though........?
did you read the post from cazzz earlier saying that a certain ingredient has been taken out of these ready meals now, leaving them not so 'tasty'
but im def going to have to try one and find out for myself what theyre like now!
are you going to treat yourself to one too?
