Valkyrie Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Morning all. I shall be singing Summer Holiday this morning just to wind up OH - he loves that song, so it will be rattling round his head all day long - harrrrr! A widdle one for Lewis. Good job you're not doing The Young Ones - they went off a cliff singing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Quiet day on the crazy thread! Its sooo hot, I cleaned the cube (when I say cleaned I actually mean scrubbed it like a looney!) and had to have a cold shower afterwards Well Rose has been a naughty girl today, she has broken into one of the veg beds and has dustbathed in the peas, she's ruined a load of them. And to make matters worse, she jumped back out and the shook all over my feet So, they have gone back in the run, she's spoiled it for everyone Never mind, they have had a 7hr free range today, so have done well.

Chickvic Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Too hot . Been melting away...ha if only it was that easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 If I had the energy I'd be doing this. Drinking lots of water, got puffy feet again. I chased Apache out from under the netting which is covering my blackcurrants - I don't know whether is was a nice cool spot or she discovered anything to gobble. They seem to be OK. Poor girls wandering around with their mouths open. Can't be easy with thick feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 They do seem to be so hot they don't know what to do with themselves. I sprayed the cube run with some cold water in the hope that when they went back in it would be cooler for them. So whats the plan tonight? We've just had some fabulous sea bass and herby puy lentils for tea. Yum Yum Yum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 What are puy lentils? Koojie you shouldn't have said young ones now I'm singing that in my head, round and round and round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Puy lentils are small blue/green lentils that hold their shape nicely when cooked. They taste delicious and are so versatile. I strongly recommend you try some, they are so nutritious. As you can tell I am quite a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I had a puy lentil burger at Tootsies on Saturday, was delicious. I've never cooked with them though. Do you buy them dried and soak them before cooking like normal lentils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzle Knit Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 We had puy lentils tonight too - in a veggie bolognese sauce. Yes, you prepare them just like ordinary lentils. We're away in a couple of weeks, and hopefully having our kitchen done while we're away, so trying to use up as much as possible before we go.

Valkyrie Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Aha pooey lentils. We had veggie bollyogknees, but if I had put lentils in DS would have revolted - well, he's revolting anyway. I usually put lentils in with DD's veggie shepherd's pies. Otherwise Quorn mince for the "meat". Nice, no bones or gristle and much better than soya mince. I don't normally use the red lentils now because they go too mushy, but green and pooey are nice.Hubble bubble . . . OK Plum how about Livin' Doll? "Get down" "ow" I do have to do Vivien's voice (OK a bit higher pitched) for "gonna lock her up in a trunk"! We've had a mega bokking day today and whingeing, poor birdies. But the blackbirds have had an all day session of alarm pipping. I think the cats next door have been sunbathing near the nest. Night all, I'm off to try and get my feet up before these balloons carry me upstairs with my head bouncing on the steps all upside down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Morning all - must be hot - a pigeon is sitting in the drinking bowl. Which means I now have to empty it again! It is too - just getting the girls out has me all prickly. DD and OH gone to the docs - her asthma has flared up again (not had it for years). After they'd gone I heard a banging on the door - thought they'd forgotten something and they had been pushed for time (Emelda choosing her shoes). Nope, it was a UPS man with a delivery for her. I said ooh you just missed her and he said "well tell her she missed a really hot guy" Then I realised I still had porrige around my mouth . . . oh gawwwd love a duck!
