Last night had ribs, chicken, garlic bread, potato wedges, onion rings and peas.
I wanted corn on the cob, but Dad wasn't keen and Stevo doesn't eat either peas or corn.

Ribs were over-cooked, wedges were too large so we only ate the small crispy ones and there is a shedload of chocken left. But it was £4.00 for a whole one or £4.00 for a couple of thighs so the choice was obvious... Dad says he is happy to have leftovers. And the cats are too.

The 'larky bread was teh yum. Tiny little rolls stuffed with garlic butter.
Will recommend them to Mum for 2 October when the girls come round.

Ahhh, British chips.... I remember shopping at the Tesco in Pembroke Dock when we were in Wales and noticing that one entire aisle in the freezer section was devoted to frozen chips of every type. And in the fresh produce section there were 20 or so different ones.

But the ones you buy in stores are nothing like real chips from the chippy.

I've just come here to bitch about the fact that I haven't really eaten dinner in so long I can't remember. I'd probably have to look through this thread to see what was last of note.

Lately, if I eat or drink anything but water after about 4pm the indigestion just kills me. As it is I can barely sleep an hour without having to take a pill.

Anyway, that's my bitch. I like dinner. I'm sick of not having it.

3 c-sections, no viewing, thank goodness.

Are you drinking raspberry leaf tea and olive oil tonight?

I think it's castor oil, and no, I don't have any. Wouldn't have it if I did to be honest.

The purpose of the raspberry leaf tea is to 'ripen' the cervix. They did an internal yesterday and it's ready to go in that regard, so all those wives tale type remedies are superfluous anyway (unfortunately).

I have a picture of Max's placenta if you'd like to see it. lol It's pretty gross. They collect the bits as they come out and put them back together like a puzzle to make sure it's all there and nothing is left inside to go septic.

Castor oil's for the (lack of) shits isn't it? Maybe works the same. The Greeks are all into Olive oil for inducing birth (was working in a greek chippy when awaiting Hector impatiently). Mind you, they're all into olive oil for everything.....

I'm running out of old wives tales, though. Maybe go and read a little current American politics -that's enough to shock anyone into labor -even Ibby.

Yeah we get that here too. "Oh! Where will it end?!"

Yesterday I had some disgusting fish pie from school. The potato topped kind. The dinner ladies told me it was grim. They only offered me a portion as it was minutes away from being binned. But the two ladies serving hated fish, so I was willing to give it a try.

No. It really was nasty. Stodgy, dense and even the potato was bad - like Smash if you haven't mixed it properly - powdery and claggy.

Still, it was free. And I nibbled round the edges and took the crispy bits off the top

I had baked beans with cheese. My goto meal when I can't be bothered cooking anything else. Dazza is cooking ravioli for him and the kids later, but I prefer to eat much earlier and go to bed on a close to empty stomach.
