Fucking GUTTED
When I saw this headline I thought the cunt was about to croak:

When were you last so disappointed you thought you might cry? Lusty, please don't reply to this one, thanks.

I bought a Twix last week
but when I opened it the chocolate had split and most of the wrapper was glued to the bar with errant caramel. I hate it when that happens.

I found out this afternoon, that I'm not getting paid on the royal wedding bank holiday.
I am very dissapointed at this, though unlikely to cry.

Our contract states that we will be paid for 8 bank holidays, and this is the ninth, so get stuffed. This may affect anybody whose contract is similarly worded.

I thought about leaving The Boss is a Cunt running on my computer when I left this afternoon, but whimped out.

I have my grandad's last bottle of port.
I'll be dead sad when it's gone. They thought I should have it because me and grandad used to go AWOL and drink port and smoke roll-ups in smelly pubs.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Mar 2011, 19:29, Reply)

I miss my paternal Grandad even though he died a long time ago.
He used to do little drawings for me and gave me sweets from his secret stash. His bed was in the living room because he had problems climbing the stairs. He even had a chamber pot under the bed for nightime piddles.
( girlinthehole, Wed 9 Mar 2011, 19:33, Reply)

Yeah this was my dad's dad.
Didn't see him as much as I saw my mum's folks, but the older I got, the more good times we had. We both liked musicals, he told me about his travels at sea and the women he just about turned down for my nana.
They're both gone now, but my mum's parents are still about and not that old.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Mar 2011, 19:37, Reply)

My mum's parents are evil.
My grandad, (not by blood), isn't too bad but my grandma is virtually cut out from the family.
( girlinthehole, Wed 9 Mar 2011, 19:43, Reply)

My maternal grandad isn't my biological grandad.
He's a cunt but he's always been alright to me. Me and the baby are the only ones he's been mostly ok with.
Nana's a bit manipulative and she didn't do the best for my mum, but on the whole and compared to all the other nanas where I'm from I think she's gold.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 9 Mar 2011, 19:46, Reply)

My dad's parents never had much money but loads of love and praise for us.
My mum's parents were the total opposite. Never happy with us and never a positve word to say. Loads of Chrismas presents though which I could have lived without.

I don't mind not having them
but it does give me an anxious feeling some times when I realised both my parents were orphans by the age of 18. I've already had four extra years by that reckoning :(

Why did they die so young?
( girlinthehole, Wed 9 Mar 2011, 20:04, Reply)

Maternal grandfather
died when my mum was two, car accident. Maternal grandmother when my mum was 19 (not 18 oops) of cancer. Paternal grandfather died when my dad was 11, not sure what of, and paternal grandmother died of cancer when he was 17 I think (she worked as a radiation nurse before shielding properly kicked in.)

I blanched half a leek
and baked it with a diced portobello mushroom, some goats cheese, some creme fraiche and some wholegrain mustard. Served it with a chicken breast wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with goats cheese, honey, rosemary and thyme.

Didn't quite work - putting the chicken on top of the other stuff meant the chicken didn't cook through on the bottom and needed another 5 minutes. But the leek and mushroom thing was awesome.

Not really
I needed to use up the leek and the mushroom and the goats cheese so I just threw it all together.

Looked like it had been dropped (not the chicken, chicken wrapped in pancetta looks the business)

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 9 Mar 2011, 20:55, Reply)

It really wasn't much effort
Flatten chicken breast, put spoonful of goats cheese and spoonful of honey on and sprinkle with herbs, roll up, lay out pancetta, roll chicken up in pancetta.

Chop leek and mushroom, put leek in boiling water for a couple of minutes and then rinse with cold, put both in bottom of bowl and dollop cheese and cream and mustard on, sprinkle a little cheddar on, put chicken breast thingy on top, in the oven. Took maybe 10 minutes tops to prep and 25 minutes in the oven.
