Generali's summer pasta?
Get some olive oil in a pan and heat gently. Add a small chopped onion and a clove of garlic and soften. Then add a chilli (optional) and about 2-300g of cherry toms cut in half and a courgette cut into small chunks. Add also the juice of 2 lemons and rind of 1/2-1 lemon. Cook for about 20 mins and add either prawns, crab meat or cooked bacon at the end and a very good handful of parsley. Add fewer toms if you're doing crab.
Serve with linguine.
Sound yum with lemon and crab. I have no courgette ad astoundingly, no garlic ATM. I never don't have garlic. But that's what I want now.
Toms are something I struggle with. I love them, but can't bear certain combinations...generally and there are exceptions, I don't like them with fish or chicken...but my fall back white fish meal does have fish and toms. I also fine the idea of tomato with egg abhorrent yet others adore huevos rancheros. Ketchup on eggs makes me heave...just the idea of it.
:o yet people do it at breakfast and breakfast for supper often enough. 0 -
Right now it is so dry, dusty and polluted here that you are doing a good job of marketing your rain - you seem to have had it wet for days while we have just had hot and sticky and dry

Like the age guessing, but less amusing.
I'm about 10 miles from michaels, I think. Woke up this morning to very wet garden and its still raining now.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I'm not sure of the species or their sex lives, but I know my mother was tearing her hair out for a while and it's now sorted, so I'll ask her....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

edit: fr the record, based on conversation here with NDG I should think her parents place is to my place as Brighton Pavilion is to a beach hut.
I doubt it - it also has stables, barns, an oast house, land, etc. And it was truly knackered when they bought it, it needed a lot of propping up, and minor things such as running water, sanitation and electricity....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Well, we had rain last night and this morning. It is now grey, damp and windy, but there isn't any water falling out of the sky at this precise minute.
So, Doozer, where do you think I am????Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Friend of a friend has put her house on the market and the pictures look exactly like the ones featured in threads on the house buying board alongside comments like, "couldn't they put the washing away", "kitchen strewn with tea towels and washing up", "tables covered in clutter".

Dilemma, happy to buy food in Tesco but don't really like the way they take over every non-food store in existence.
But they have bedding plants at £3 for 20. Do I?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Why not? I only ever buy the t&m special offer ones so I don't spend ages growing bedding plants from seed.
There's only so much organic and so much conscience.0
