I've just made us Quorn burgers in white baps. My husband said "Nice baps" when I handed it to him. He is so immature.:rotfl:

That's my sense of humour. Me n my mate were even giggling at innuendos in the church sermon yesterday:rotfl:

Last year I sent an American visitor to the local sandwich shop telling her it was called big baps rather than fine baps :eek: I then had to explain why the rest of the office got the giggles :rotfl: there may of been a demonstration with my hands. The young lad in the office had to leave the room :rotfl:

Caronc the only time I can remember my mum swearing is when her homemade mincemeat exploded in the cupboard :eek: we came home to find the mess :rotfl: my sister was saying today that she can remember as a child grating the suet from the butchers for mincemeat and suet puddings, thank goodness you could buy it in boxes by my childhood _pale_ I'm told it did make better dumplings etc :cool:

I don't blame her I'd of been turning the air blue as well;). As for grating suet, while I'm defintely not squeamish I'll be sticking to the shredded stuff in boxes:eek:

Some things don't translate well - in the early 80s I was asked by my supervisor (older, very prim, somewhat scary lady) to do some "b0nking" in the mail room with Alan:eek::eek:. Now he was a perfectly nice chap but I hardly knew him:eek::eek:, turns out it meant manually franking the outgoing mail....... The other connotation of that word hadn't reached her ears but apparently my face was a picture:rotfl:

Hope PN isn't away too long.
Had coffee for breakfast, defrosted pasta bake & HM salad with cheese for lunch (surprisingly filling) & two fried eggs on toast for tea.

Couldn't decide whether to to make HM pizzas (cba happened) or use up the last of the red pesto on some pasta. But then, I need that to make more pasta bake. But I've not enough cheese for it, & forgot to get some. So that's delayed til Wednesday now.
Tomorrow I've not even got a lunch break scheduled at work. No idea what to take. Might be soup in my thermos

Caronc Luckily our American lady had a good sense of humour and couldn't wait to call her husband with a new Englishism :rotfl:

Hopefully you'll get a break but soup in a thermos sounds good with some munchy bits in case you don't get to that. Why not hard boil a couple of eggs to take just in case?:)

:rotfl::rotfl:Our regional variations on words must be so hard for non-UK folk. My son's fiancee despite having excellent English (she's been in the UK for around 9 years now) still gets puzzled by some sayings. That said my son is finding the same in Greek:cool:

Our new team member is Indian and moved to the uk 7 years ago but this is her first job. With the lead up to Christmas we have had to explain what stuffing was and how to feed a Christmas cake :rotfl: I'm not convinced she believed that one.

Good morning everyone,
It's blowing a hooley and lashing with rain though not particularly cold. It's not deterring my Dad though who is still coming for lunch:).Not sure I'd be quite as motivated to be venturing out for the promise wedges, cheese & onion gravy but each to their own.

Same weather here, though the rains only just started. I'm glad I went to the shop early to get milk. I made a cuppa this morning and the milk was off ! Dgsons milk was thrown away and he had juice. It did have the 13th Dec on the milk though!
I cleaned the oven on Friday, and had put some of the oven trays in the bag with oven pride overnight, so I've washed them off this morning. I've also been on hands and knees washing the floor in the hall way and downstairs loo ,as I could smell something and couldn't work out what it was. Hopefully a good disinfectant and flash has solved that .even did outside the front door incase it was out there!!!
I've had 2 toast at 7 am and I'm hungry now so will have a couple of pears, to put me on till a sandwich at lunch time.
