Brown or white? Not that I mind, y'know, I'm colourblind when it comes to bread, man.

I have both
The brown is a little tiny one from the bakery.
The white is bog-standard.

it is a sure sign you are getting old
when you choose lovely thick granary bread over the white stuff you preferred as a child.

this also applies to ready salted crisps, which i would have scorned in younger days, but which i now seek out as they go better with my middle-class mature houmous...

Aw rats, I bought ready salted for the houmous too.
But I prefer it with pitta.

Toasted til crisp, mmmmmm.

Yup

hot pitta is awesome
my favourite london restaurant, "as greek as it gets", does mini buckets stuffed full of soft, hot pitta which has been lightly brushed with oil and sprinkled with herbs. we then get whipped tzatziki, houmous and spicy feta dip to go with it.

/orgasms just thinking about it.

Ours does spicy grilled feta
But I can't go there any more so they can shove it and I'll make my frigging own.

I will put him in a beard and hat in case there's a contract out on him
My 'uncle' works there so I could get him to pick me up some stuff, but he'll tell them it's for me and The Greek might gob in it.

Green olive bread and lemon and coriander humous.
The middle-class lunch of dreams.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:04, Reply)

good houmous choice
although i think my favourite of all the houmouses is the pesto topped one. mmm. pesto.

this being said, i do dip monster munch in it, which is neither middle class nor mature.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:05, Reply)

I don't like olive bread
It's just too olivey.
I like houmous with paprika, but too much coriander bugs me as well.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:06, Reply)

you are me!
i hate olives, much as i would like to like them.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:07, Reply)

I don't care for olives either
But I will eat olive bread.

On a pizza though? Olives can fuck right off.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:09, Reply)

I can now eat green ones
and kind of enjoy them. I have to be in the mood. I've always bought them for Tigger, and occasionally nibbled, so that theory of trying something a few times might work.
Black olives still scare me.

Olives for a cat?
Maybe that's your problem. That stuff in a box that says Whiskas isn't olives, you know.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:12, Reply)

He loves them
Chases them all over the floor and treats them like prey, then eventually has a little nom on them.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:15, Reply)

I could try that.
But I'd eat all the olives and that cats would look at me disdainfully.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:19, Reply)

Please try it
It is so amusing. Unless your cats are normal.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Sun 2 Jan 2011, 1:20, Reply)

Define "normal" in a cat
One of mine - not sure which - has taken to carrying their toys out through the cat flap and leaving them in the garden.

Awww, cats are fucking nuts

Don't think the big guy will be with us this time next year.
He's OK, but he's really slowing down and he struggles with the stairs so he spends his life downstairs now.

If I could get a kitty stairlift I would.

I would give my Tigger a kidney if he needed one
And if cats could use human kidneys.

It's a good job mine are insured
I've more that got my money's-worth this year.

Big Ellie is 12, but he got run over when he was a kitten and his pelvis is held together with metal pins.

The vet has told me that they'll deteriorate and I think that's happening. I could be wrong - he hates cold weather - but I'll watch him.

I love him dearly but I'll not see him suffer.

Bedtime.

Well just like them then!
I have a sense of deja vu here (or possibly it's just a flashback) because I had a row about the virtue of olives with someone a few nights ago.

I think that post says...
'No, it's past the Arches, further up Gloucester Road' more than anything else.

We've got a new "quality wine and ground coffee" shop
and a new "family health initiative" this month. Oh, and one of those "I saw you coming" shops where a couple of yummy mummies buy vintage china from charity shops and then resell it at 650% mark-up.
Gotta love the independent high street, eh?

At least you've not had a run on Tesco's finest pizzas
It was murder trying to find one last night...

Just the usual regular dust now.
