Most of the new people I've met
in the last couple of months have been internet people actually and I'd definitely count some of them as friends :)

Alt Q: Some revision, and deciding on a starter for Christmas dinner
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:14, 2 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

^ this, minus the revision
and plus the contemplation of having some brie.

fried breadcrumbed brie?

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:20, Reply)

That was said with some enthusiasm!
no, sadly not. Just brie, and possibly a fig if they're still any good. Or some of the chutney I made yesterday.
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:21, Reply)

Tasty :)

For 'brie'
Read 'Posh Dairylea'

Ah shush
brie is awesome.

What are you doing for your starter?
Last year I just did a simple asparagus starter. This was good as it was piss-easy to make.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:18, Reply)

I have no idea at all
I'd like to do something different. Last year I did smoked salmon, soda bread and made portwine jelly in little fish moulds to go with it
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:19, Reply)

I did consider salmon with dill.

I've deleted until I can find a better link
But trust me. It's going badly. I've already drunk about half the booze I bought in.

I know the text is the same
but the other one looked nicer.
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:33, Reply)

Yes, but it had my full name in the link
*is idiot*
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:38, Reply)

But at least with the old link we knew EXACTLY WHO the idiot was.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:50, Reply)

All I can say is that I'm really tired
And a bit drunk.

And really fucking stupid, apparently.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:54, Reply)

Being drunk on the Internet is great.
More people should do it.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:56, Reply)

I'm not that drunk
Just drunk enough to let that pass me by for a minute. I don't care about /OTers knowing my name, I have quite a few on Facebook. However, there's a couple of trolls who don't like me and I'm wary of them

*looks suspiciously*
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:59, Reply)

What have I done?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:00, Reply)

I was watching out for them sneaking up
They do that, you know.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:01, Reply)

I've not noticed.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:04, Reply)

Well, I have one who apparently has it in for me
I consider it an accomplishment. But I don't want him having a go IRL.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:05, Reply)

Care to share who it is?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:10, Reply)

Not here.
They've left me alone for a couple of weeks now, I'm hoping we've reached some sort of entante cordiale and I don't want to rock the boat.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:11, Reply)

That's fair enough
I was only being nosey.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:14, Reply)

S'fair enough
If our positions were reversed I'd be nosy too.

I'm not doing a starter this year
but I am making beef wellington and boozy chocolate hazelnut torte.
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:22, Reply)

I'm doing beef rather than turkey this year.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:23, Reply)

Turkey is alright
but only about one year in every three or four. It's just boring for every year, and really easy to overcook so that it's dry and minging.
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:26, Reply)

I'm going for a mustard crust beef
With roasties, some mash, 4 veg, yorkies and various other trimmings!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:28, Reply)

Very domesticated!
especially for someone who insists christmas is BENT. Cooking for the ma and pa, I take it?
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:31, Reply)

Yeap.
And don't get me wrong. Christmas IS fucking bent.

But food isn't.

Rolling one's eyes
is basically just tutting with your eyes. Is that flattering?

Look. ANY attention is good attention.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:52, Reply)

even if it is with youthful, ingenue like internet ears :P

It's a part you play so well.
EDIT: Bar the youthful bit, obviously.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:56, Reply)

Yup
like butter wouldn't melt, that's me.

EDIT - younger'n you, boyo. I still get ID'd in Tesco ffs.

I'll bet butter WOULD melt.
*makes note to bring butter to the next bash*

*Actually, scrub that, it sounds wrong.*
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:03, Reply)

Yes
yes, it really does.
(berk, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 23:05, Reply)

I won't be bringing any butter with me.
You have my word.

Haha, I'm not saying
it was quite rude and almost certainly overly flirtatious!

Now I really intrigued.
It's after the watershed, tell your joke.

I've built it up too much now.

Turkey and trimmings here
Turns out a shop in town sells gin and tonic sorbet, so that's the between courses sorted
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 22:26, Reply)

Hehe
that sounds like some excellet sorbet, right there. I once had some similar, then tried to drunkenly recreate it by mixing cheap ice cream with some lemon curd and a load of gin. It did not go well, but we ate it anyway.
