Yay, back online, with my phone though.
Cheers everyone fir those messages and kind text/Gaz bits'n'bobs

Turns out I have two types of gut aids, at the moment which is quite "=/", but I'm much better than I was a few days ago, and hopefully I can start having a bite to eat later. I've had so many holes punctured in me that aside the bruises, they don't bother me that much anymore (still ain't looking at them stick things under my skin though).

I got a free upgrade to the private ward where I have my own amazing telly (but the signal broke earlier... Best fix that before hollyoaks), and an amazing view of hampstead Heath, plus the bed has buttons that let me move it up and down, that's hours of boredom starved off right there.

Anyway, how's things going with you?

I made prawn chowder last night
soup made of spring onion, sweetcorn and vegetable stock, with prawns in it. Served with crispy bacon bits and a big lump of mashed potato in the middle.

delicious.

this may not be what you want to hear with your gut aids....

Mash in soup?
*notes down*
*not prawns though*
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 13:56, Reply)

also good in soup
poached egg
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 13:59, Reply)

I agree

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 14:06, Reply)

Did it not mix with the mash and go like runny mash?
Like when you put too much milk in mash.
(TheColonel, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 13:56, Reply)

not in the slightest
the soup was quite thick because I turned the sweetcorn into a thick paste in the food processor.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 13:59, Reply)

Sounds interesting. I made a nice corn chowder this weekend that turned out well.
(Used salt pork instead of bacon; probably less health but tastes better).
(MichaelS wasn't picked again, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 14:03, Reply)

that sounds good
I'm quite a fan of soups and chowders

I'm imagining everyone in this sub-thread
Saying "chowder" like Mayor Quimby from the Simpsons.

Is there any other way to say it?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 14:32, Reply)

I say it like Paul Simon says it in 'Duncan'.

What, like this:

search your feelings

I say it to rhyme with 'powder'
You know, the correct way.

so do most people
the above was a description of how a snooty french waiter says it in an episode of the simpsons

the Mayor Quimby thing was about the accent, not the pronunciation
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 16:16, Reply)

Good.
Sometimes you can pick up incorrect pronunciations and not know it: my father, bless him, insists on pronouncing 'nachos' like a fucking Greek island.

god, my dad prounces some things terribly
as do his parents. makes me want to slap them
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 17:00, Reply)

My father does it deliberately sometimes,
I am certain, to give the impression of ignorance about something he disapproves of, even though he knows perfectly well how it's said.

I'm struggling to think of an example - band names or popular culture stuff generally. Rather like the Fry & Laurie sketch where they go on about 'that ghastly Mervyn Briggs', meaning Melvyn Bragg.

As irrelevant posts go this is a corker.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 17:03, Reply)

that's the sort of thing my dad would do
he loves to describe things as 4th rate. The day I find myself doing that I will seriously think about ending it all.

If you weren't browsing on your phone, I'd post the Fat Gonz* picture I found the other day
to remind you that a brief rest from food might not be such a bad thing. I shall have to save it for your first food thread once you're recovered.

Glad you're doing better, bud.

Hey Gonz.
I thought I saw a dog yesterday, but it turned out to be a particularly ugly pigeon. It made me think of you.

Glad you're on the mend. Are you officially a cyborg now?
