One Man Banned Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Oh can't remember anything specific, but when you just pop in and come out with some pan scourers, milk, pot of cream and some marmite A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I love having a nosey into other peoples shopping trolleys. this is awful and I don't claim to be sylph-like at all, but me and Dh were shopping once and we saw a morbidly obese family, and I mean grossly overweight! We couldn't resist having a peek into their trolley and it was full of white bread, potatoes, crisps and bottles of pop. DH looked at me and said in a sympathetic tone of voice (out of their earshot) "ahhh, must be a glandular problem". I nearly wet myself!

Guest Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have visions of you with 25 toilet rolls and 4 pints of cream to go with your 2.5kg of stuffing! No it was 48 toilet rolls A small tub of Elmlea 2.5 k of stuffing And several "really useful boxes" which are great for keeping coursework in.

She had bought some but didn't really know what to do with it. Tried to make a drink but it didn't taste very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 We use all of our chicken when it has been roasted - I freeze any cold meat that isn't going to get used in the next couple of days, and then make soup/stock with the carcass and freeze the extra of that too. We have a delicious and enormous chicken from Lesley and Carl again this year and I am so looking forward to eating it tomorrow. Most of our veggies are dirty Pengy - some of them are from our garden, some from Phil's folks and the rest from the farmers' market - they soon scrub up and are always delicious. Give little James a hug from me too. Send your leftovers over here - we'd soon scoff them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I don't mind dirty veg - if I can feel them to make sure they are good. These dirty spuds were in a plastic bag so you couldn't get a good feel. When they are clean in the plastic bag you get a good look to see if they are OK. I would have bought them loose - then I would have given them a good feel and bought about 1/2 as many! I don't use this farm shop regularly so I wasn't entirely sure of the quality of their produce.
