Griffin Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 My dearly beloved Mr Griffin is a numpty On Facebook he spotted one of my friends and thought it was someone he used to work with so added her. I thought it strange when I saw that they were now friends and wondered how he could know her. He commented on her status earlier with a really cryptic reference. Tonight I asked him what he was raving on about and he asked how did I know her too. I said I don't really but she's on the Omlet forum. He swore blind she lived up the road in Carterton, was 23 and married to a bloke named Harvey who he still works with. I said that doesn't sound right at all, and then after taking a closer look at her profile he realised that his former colleague shares a name with an Omleteer and he didn't know this person at all He felt a proper wally and I think deleted her as soon as his numptiness was uncovered!

Tutti Frutti Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 DH has just cooked a tagine on his majmar (charcoal burner) We bought it in Morocco a few years back and the dish and majmar cost all of £5 Anyhoo... here's his recipe. Burn coals in the majmar, put pot on top, add olive oil and fry onions and ras el-hanout spices. Add tomatoes/peppers/slices of lemon/olives, give it 15 mins then chuck in Linda McCartney meatballs. 20 mins later, add two eggs, leave lid on for a few mins then serve on couscous, with pitta for dipping. Yum yum. I've just ordered "Cooking of Africa and the Middle East" from Amazon. Can't wait to try "Banana and Melon in Orange Vanilla Sauce" from Madagascar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 So in an attempt to sit outside the the SUNSHINE I sprayed some insect repellent on - which I don't normally do. Only for every insect within a 2 mile radius to zoom in on me and fly about me or try and land on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
