sometimes one just has to STFU (1)

except I didn't. . .

ok, so. . .

sometimes porridge made with milk and sugar is a good thing (whereas porridge made with water and salt reminds me of my miserable grandad)

sometimes a fire made in the shape of a pyramid which blazes and heats up a freezing cold room really quickly is a good thing

it is never a good thing to call my son's boyfriend "his friend" and describe my son's relationship as "the situation"

sometimes adding grated nutmeg to porridge makes it EVEN TASTIER

you say potato, I say potato

you say uncompromising, I say boundaries

oh, AND, just because there is a boundary does not mean that the grass is greener on the other side of it

ok, so. . .

it's my blog and I'll rant if I want to

There's a lot of scope within the boundaries, but they're there and so they should be.

I've added cinnamon and cardamon to porridge but never nutmeg, though I do add it to mashed potato. I want some porridge now to try it.

You know what I say! Spud!!! LOL

There's a reason WPIML puts his head on the table and bangs it on occasion. :-/ Sometimes I DO know I oughta STFU...but I'm talking and I just can't stop.
Other times....I don't WANNA.

Mel hmmmmmmmm. . . me too, but I am learning that on occasion one has to/needs to/ought to listen

of course, I wasn't referring to my (or your) STFUing

(-;

XXX

Z exactly (-:

cardamon, eh - I love cardamon, will have to try that

just recently I've been making seed cake with caraway. . . do you think it's that time of year? X

Z said...

Mm yes, delicious. When I put cardamon pods in rice, I suck the seeds out afterwards. I have no shame of course and have been known to do it in Company.

english inukshuk said...

that is such a relief to hear, Z. . . I thought it was just me who sucked the seeds out (-:

question is, what do you do with the husks? (-;

Z said...

Neatly lined up on the side of the plate. Even I can't eat cardamon husks. I'm so pleased to find another cardamon seed sucker too!

Mel said...

Ah....seed suckers! ROFLMAO

Perhaps this was one of those moments where I'da been wiser to STFU? *laughing*
Oh yesss...I can see him banging his head. ;-)

just don't get me started on how I eat pomegranates - or, in the summer, picking out the shreds of peach flesh that are stuck in the crevices in the stone. . .

oh, and Z when I very first started blogging - many many years ago now - how long, Ms Mel? I've forgotten! - I wrote about Spangles. . .

(much missed, never show up in those jars of "retro sweets" one can buy nowadays)

and, with regards to liquorice root, I used to buy a stick or two on the way home from school from my favourite sweet shop with money I was supposed to have put in the Caritas Collection (oops). . . don't know anywhere now that I could get it, I'd buy more if I could. . .

tried to leave this thought chez toi but I was asked to log in and I don't know how!

Z said...

SO DO I - peaches, I mean, and I have a feeling we'd get sticky together with pomegranates.

Sorry about the logging in - you choose a username and are sent a password (there is an explanation on the sidebar) - I'm afraid it's a bit of a do but I'd had it up to the limit with spam and with the awful wv Blogger did, so my son set up my own website. Only trouble is, I daren't try to change anything so have to bother him every time.

I'll investigate the liquorice root possibilities. It looks as if Mike has a source, at any rate. He doesn't live too far from me, about an hour's drive.

Mel said...

Oh geeze.....how may years ago.....

Seven?

*scratching head* Eight?

Six!
Five, four, three, two, one BLASTOFF!

*chuckling*
Now, I don't know about licorice root--but anything licorice I LOVE!
And messy foods are just fun!

Seed sucking vs seed spitting...I'll go for spitting every time.
