Just made my mam curry tea. Poor woman asked if I had the tea bags in the same press as the curry sauce. I said no, then copped I must have mixed it in that cup and didn't wash it properly. She's half it drank and didn't want to say anything. Told her curry tea is all the rage these days

Hahaha. I've made myself coffee-tea more than once. But curry tea doesn't sound that bad... I love drinking tea alongside spicy food!

Due date today!

Half afraid to post this :
This maternity leave crack has turned my routine upside down. I stay up half the night because I'm wide awake and dont want to be tossing and turning, disturbing himself when he has to get up for work, then I'm in bed half the day. If I force myself to get up earlier, I get knackered and have to have a nap which means I'm up half the night :rolleyes:...anyway, baby will knock it on the head when he/she deigns to arrive, I'm sure.

The mother is hilarious, "casually" ringing and texting every day, when really I know she's up the walls wondering when my labour will start.
Her: "oh hi, what ya up to?"
Me: "nuttin, just waiting to go into labour, just like yesterday when you called, and the day before that, and the day before that...."

The poor womans blood pressure will be sky high if I go over by a week or two! Sufficient revenge for the terrible haircuts she inflicted on me as a child, no?

Lucyfur, Thats food-porn right there!

I'd love a big steak!
Or a medium rare fillet steak with garlic butter! Its on my list-of-things-i-can-eat-when-baby-arrives. With a glass of red wine, followed by Tiramsu, paté, smelly cheeses, ommmmyommm!

Larianne

Neyite, I actually noticed you were nearly due 2 days ago. Time flies! Best of luck.

SO full. :cool: I only recently discovered Pepper Sauce. I live a sheltered life.

Neyite

how could you not know the joys of pepper sauce before now :eek:

Its delish. Mopping up pepper sauce with proper chipper chips is one of lifes little pleasures.
I had a green pepper sauce once over a medium rare fillet of beef in a restaraunt and had to force myself not to lick the plate. It was heaven. The nicest pepper sauce I ever tasted.

Acoshla

Kitten just knocked and shattered a huge frame with a drawing in it. She's driving me mental breaking and knocking things, and she's damn lucky she didn't get hurt.

Avox

I've never tasted pepper sauce either! To be fair, I've never tasted fish or mayonnaise/vinegar/most vegetables and a lot of other foods either!

I could suggest other activities given Kiera's track record, but I'll refrain from doing so on the grounds that Kiera is a kind animal lover who makes her mother tea.

Care for some curry tea, neyite? It comes in extra hot strength.

Happy Birthday Das and Lola. Hope you both have a great day.

Does anyone else get a bigger appetite when on their periods? Or am I alone?!

I'm trying to get fit, yet am eating all around me. Thinking I might to that 30 day shred twice a day from Monday onwards :eek:

Finally got gait analysis done yesterday, I'm looking at €110 for the customised insoles and proper runners *sigh*

Serious chicken curry obsession lately. I make awesome curry.

Usually in the couple of days beforehand. That and I get quite, um, short-tempered. Every single time I'm like "wtf is wrong with me?!" and then "oh.. right.. yeah.. ahem"

Any chance of any recipes? I'm mad after a good chicken curry. I've got two recipes so far to try, but wouldn't mind having a few more lol.

Lol I am similar, I tend to be quite moody on the first and second day, then I'm fine.

This time though, I've been in a good mood on the first and second day, just eating a lot more.

€300?!?!?! THREE HUNDRED EUROS?! :eek: :eek: :eek:

How on earth were they so expensive?

My insoles are €47 and the runners are €73, so €120, not €110

Where did you get the analysis done? Elverys? It sounds like you're getting prescription insoles.

I had my legs checked by a podiatrist and had to get custom made insoles from Canada. I've been wearing my Aasics runners as much as I can but they're no use on wet days.

I have low medial arches, but (typically for me) I am between shoes, basically, the flattest shoes, are too flat for me, and the next shoes up, still aren't high enough, and the shoes next to that are too high for me, so I've to get the one's that aren't high enough and get the insoles to make them higher. :rolleyes:

I am always 'between' in everything, clothes size, shoe size, leg length, waist size, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Flat as pancakes. He's double jointed and has hyper-mobility too so he's NEVER going to grow out of it. And he needs new insoles 3 or 4 times a year.

Yeah I got it done in Elverys, there's no where else near to me that does it unfortunately. Luckily it was free.

How do you manage to pay €400? and a few times a year? I would cry if mine cost that much.

€400 is like five weeks of my social welfare money and that's without buying food, paying bills etc. :eek:

I have hyper mobility in my feet and nowhere else.

The conversation kind of went like this:

Podiatrist: "Your ankles are really flexible."
Me: "Aw cool, I've never been told I'm flexible."
Pod: "Yeah, you don't want your ankles to be that flexible."
Me:


It's also one of the reasons my toe is messed up.

It's €50 for the appointment first. So it cost €350 altogether.

Although these have a lifetime guarantee and it should be years upon years before I have any reason to replace them.

Secret made up in my head recipe.

I marinate the chicken in a olive oil and curry powder paste. Then throw it on the pan to very lightly brown the chicken. Throw some peppers in. Move it all to a saucepan and add in some chicken stock. Thicken with some cornflour and a bit of tomato puree, then I leave it to simmer for however long I want to. The slower the simmer the better it tastes.

Very simple recipe, can take literally 15 minutes to make it if you're in a hurry.

Loads of recipes out there for curry, so many of them are complicated but this tastes perfect. Mum got a similar recipe years ago when she worked in a restaurant was trying to remember what it was so kinda threw this all together to try and emulate it.

Acoshla

I didn't know what hypermobility was...so I googled it, and it brought up photos of things I can do! I thought everybody could touch their thumb off their wrist, fold fingers over each other, it has been pointed out before that my fingers bend back weirdly far but I thought that was the only weird thing!
