[merciasounds]

Toast? Er....s'pose so. Got twelve different breads here - but not supermarket sliced

[another-view]

12 breads? Don't they go off?

[merciasounds]

I only bake what i need, I make up the dough - I've got to make sandwiches for 30 tonight, they are only small 1lb loaves

[another-view]

Ah I see. In that case please can I have a Pot Noodle.

[merciasounds]

No.

[ummmm]

Why?

[merciasounds]

What i mean is, i can't supply a Pot Noodle, I've never bought one in my life!!

[ummmm]

Don't blame you. They're rank...

[merciasounds]

..........And I can't tempt you with today's menu Ummmm?

[ummmm]

Lobster tails....

I've just had a roll and can't think about food when I'm full. If I go shopping on a full stomach I come back with lot's of fluid stuff and hardly any food.

[merciasounds]

I don't like shopping on an empty stomach - I start buying uneccessary things in case i haven't got it at home, so I can make what ever it is i want - if you get my drift! Mind you I've got to go to the supermarket - I've nearly run out of caster sugar and I've got to make a couple of tray-bakes for tonights boy scout meeting to go with the sandwiches.

[mccfluff]

i've got a craving for leek and pot soup, weird!

[ummmm]

I made that on Sunday Fluff and had it for lunch yesterday. It was lovely...It's my new fav soup.

Everytime I cook a soup it becomes my fav :-)

[merciasounds]

My fav soup at the moment is, I make a Thai style broth, with Chicken stock, galingal, lime leaves, lemon grass, fish sauce (nam pla) soy sauce, lime juice, shallots, garlic palm sugar and chili, then throw in what i have like cooked chicken, prawns, egg noodles and make a Pad Thai s'lurrvery!!

[Greedyfly]
