General Chat

Have a nice sleep aunty i am now dressed and almost finished my chores ,the best bit of baking is the bowls afterwards imagine the size of a bowl from 200 plus portions lol

All this cooking, special occasion. Yes, I am treating the tribe at work, work, to morning tea. It is a self imposed penance for not being involved in all the Christmas frivolities because of my workload prior to Christmas.

I know, I am quite barmey. But I do feel, well how do I feel, right now I am kna**ered, however I will feel happier, tomorrow.

I should not be sitting here chatting. I have washing to fold, and I can't seem to find the kitchen sink. It used to be above the cupboard, but all I can see is dishes. May I have a few cyber pets for an hour please. I suggested to OH I should have an assistant. He said, in your dreams, and went to bed. Still a couple more things to do but they can wait until the morning. If I manage to wake up early enough.

By the way I have ruined my healthy eating. Do you know how hard it is to bake cakes and ice them without licking the beaters, or cleaning the last of the mixture out of the basin. Then there was this fruit cake someone thought I might like to use for the occasion. One of the ones with all the fruit and nuts on top. Which kept falling off, which I had to eat because it was too nice to waste. It is a wonder I am not floating about two feet off the ground with all the sugar I have consumed. Must be the weight keeping me earthbound.

That's enough. Off to tidy my abode and then catch a few hours sleep so I can be up early in the morning.

morning all I have been busy all three floors scrubbed ,bedding off new on ironing done ,not dressed yet though or hoovered which i will have to do as there is a trail of feathers everywhere lol and the living rom has been the dumping ground so that needs clearing and i am making a leek and potatoe bake which can be made without dairy just use stock and more onions to flavour it instead of cheese and milk

How about Gazpacho Soup? That's a cold Spanish one. From memory, it has lots of tomatoes and vinegar, so if he has an open wound, it might be a bit painful. He’s hade his eyes and teeth looked at; when’s the ears and feet due for a service?

What’s with all the baking? Is it for a special event?

OH was up and out before 0815 this morning, due back in about an hour. He’ll probably be all Holier than thou since I doubt I’ll be dressed – lol

Now, now, SueMaid. We only allow play fighting on this thread.

Has Aunty forgotten that I'm a Down Underer too - she may have to fight me for the throne ;-)

I think you mean Vichyssoise (sp?), Aunty S.

Hi one and all. Well Aunty you win some you lose some :-. I won't lose sleepover it :-D :-D.

Sylvia my little one has Tofu cheese. YUK!!! she likes it though, strange child :-). She suffers the same effects as you,not good for a little one who goes to nursery.

I am not into fighting over the throne. I just bide my time until the Poms are snoring in their beds, and take over.

Blondie is on a healthy eating regime. No dairy, no sugar, no wheat, and nothing which grows under the ground. She make quite delicious meals from her allowed ingredients, if you like eating cardboard. No, that's unfair, I have sampled one of her lamb dishes baked with pomegranate juice and it was delicious.

I am home early today need to finish off this baking, icing, preparing and fiddling for tomorrow. OH is off to the dentist. Yes he will need pampering when he arrives home. I will probably be served soup and mash or icecream for tea tonight. Oh heavens hot soup today sounds 'orrible, and don't suggest that French cold soup, the name of which I am too lazy to google.

Catch you all later. Condolences on the losses in the games or congrats if you won. Our side lost the tennis, T20 cricket, soccer, basketball, but I think they won the Tour Down Under.

I think Auntie sounds stronger than me!

Ooo - LG is like me, a Night Owl! Mind you, she has the snuffles so may slip off early. You and Aunty can fight over the Throne if you like :-D

Poor little thing

Good on ya for having treats for her!

My neighbour's grandchild is about 3, and dairy intolerant ...... and she also keeps special treats in for her


I know it's not going to kill me ................. but it does give me the most violent intestinal upset, that goes on and on for about 4 hours.

I do not like it!

and so avoid dairy. I've had a few "accidents", and suffered for it!

People do say I should be able to eat sheep or goat's milk and cheese ................ but I really do not want to try them in case ........



I guess you are about to go to bed


sleep tight




s

She is used to it now and questions anything she thinks might have milk in it. She is only just over 3 but knows whats what :-D. I keep in SPECIAL treats for her and ordinary for her little sister so she does not go without ;-)

LG

it is indeed ......... although I do have to say that it is easier to deal with than when I was first diagnosed in 2005


more foods are available without dairy, and more items in the grocery store are labelled "dairy (or lactose) free". Even ones that wouldn't have had dairy in them anyway !

cafes and restaurants are more amenable to making slight changes (eg, omitting a sauce, or butter on a sandwich).

and most coffee shops have soy milk ....... so I can have my favourite Soy Latte :-D :-D


I do miss cheese, proper ice cream, and yoghurt, though!


Your littlie must find it hard when unable to eat what friends eat.

Hello Sylvia, it can be so awkward that intolerence can't it we have to be so careful with what little one has

morning all



I can't use packet mixes ......... I'm dairy intolerant, so have to omit all milk, butter, etc etc



raining here

Found a use for those stink bombs I am throwing them at that other red and white team :-| :-| :-| :-|.

Evening all, I only bake from scratch as I have to do special milk and butter free ones for Mini Gooner. Also with all my lot packet mixes would cost me a fortune :-D.

Maz, I just love your new avatar!!

And the black cats beat swansea yesterday lol so we are all happy

Oh dear, does that mean she will be coming on with a face like :-| :-0 ?

Pass the tin hat!

You're right DET, they are drier, but I have to confess to being a little lazy!! Not that I bake regularly because I would have to eat it! :-D

Whoo hoo!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D Good result, but I don't think LG will think so >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Best get my suit of armour on ready for the onslaught!!

Never really costed packet v home made cakes, although you are possibly right about ready made sharing cakes being cheaper...but then we don't buy those either.

As the basic ingredients for little cakes are always at hand, the cost isn't something I consider. The offspring used to 'make fairy cakes' with the packets occasionally about 20 years ago. I used to think they were a lot 'drier' than home made from scratch ones.
