I am kicking myself

[tiggerblue10]

I made my chilli and some rice and then came back into the living room to eat some earleir. Stupidly I forgot to put the lid back on the chilli. I went back into the kitchen to transfer it into a plastic container and I noticed that the lid wasn't on it and a fly flew out of it. I took a closer look and it had laid eggs in it. Instead of said transferal into plastic container, transferal has now been made into 2 plastic bags and bin outside.

OMG I feel sick on 2 counts:

1. waste of food as I'd made loads to freeze
2. flies eggs - sick sick sick!

[weeal]

Aww tiggs what a really unlucky thing to happen, just as well you noticed the fly

OK so we are not all coming round for chilli now, no?

[cazzz1975]

urgh!! what is it with flies lately!

[NoK]

on the plus side.................you haver got great bloody eyesight

[China Doll]

Oh dear... Mind you, just as well you noticed, I don't think I would have. I've no idea what I'd even be looking for!

[tiggerblue10]

Dinners off everybody.

I know Weeal, I feel so stupid for not putting the lid on it. I always put lids on everyting.

Tell me about it Cazzz. Why can't the bloomin things become an endangered species or something along those lines.

[NoK]

oops i turned Italian there for a moment.

[bigmamma]

Oh no , poor tigger , that's yukky :-/

( none of you headed off to tiggers for curry did you ? )

[tiggerblue10]

I've seen them before NoK, they look like tiny grains of rice all clumped together. Years ago I used to see them on my cats cat food so I know what to look for. As soon as I'd seen the fly flying off I know I was going to see the eggs.

[tiggerblue10]

Luckily no one turned up BM. Just as well eh!

[tiggerblue10]

You probably don't want to see this but this is what they look like.

I probably would have thought it was rice :o

[tiggerblue10]

They certainly do look like rice Cazzz.Thats the problem.

[bigmamma]

Me too cazzz !

[cazzz1975]

I would have been adding them to a stir fry (fly) :S

[Kidd72]

Reminds me of the joke about two flies sat on a dog-turd, one of them f@rted and then the other said 'do you mind i'm eating my dinner'

Not that i'm suggesting anything about your cooking Tigger.

a shame I don't like wasing food either.

[weeal]

eek, it does look like rice, what if the chilli was on a plate with rice and it laid those - Argghh I wont sleep tonight

[tiggerblue10]

I am gutted. It turned out really nice as well. I put loads of sweet peppers and flagelot beans in it.

[bigmamma]

Lol@ stir fly , and at KIDD :-)

[tiggerblue10]

Well this is a lesson we can all learn from I think. ALWAYS ALWAYS PUT THE LID BACK ON!!!

[tiggerblue10]

And don't do a Tigger!
