They threw my package over my balcony, 20ft up, and left a card with my neighbours circled on the card and the number one written on it last week. No other explanation.

 

I fucking hate them. 

Sounds like yours was delivered by the poster Hermes.

Head rushes.

 

As the aging process continues, I find getting out of a chair too quickly is a wonderful non-pharmaceutical way to feel spaced out for a brief moment.

Just had a parcel delivered by Hermes, and the woman is always lovely. Very chipper and wishes you a good day afterwards. In amidst all the usual horror stories, normal nice people do exist.

What was in the parcel?

 

Nosy cunt, me.

Not sure about that mate.

What's known in this country as a "mousetrap". No idea why, I guess it's because of the cheese.

Shudders at the thought of male penile hygiene in New Zealand.

It's taken you over two months to decide that it makes you shudder. Have you been crywanking all that time?

Managed to clear the bastarding fallen crabapples off the front lawn, just before a huge storm yesterday afternoon.

Cool change on a late summer's day prompted my first chicken paprikás of 2020... @PestiRed

For some reason, I make and prefer it quite "brothy" and have it cream-free... and your in-laws would hang me, but I have to admit to putting just a dash of smoked paprika in with all the sweet.

My mother-in-law still mentions the time that I gave her some with smoked paprika

 

where do you stand on nokedli? I quite like to make an eggless version but again the MIL thinks I am some sort of savage

This is a not often visited thread of mine,sort of like if Gary Glitter was your Uncle and you had to visit him once in a while.

Gold Top?  Is that the milk that they don't take the milk out of?

Not entirely sure what you mean but it's almost single cream the fat content is so high. Gloriously creamy, I just want to dunk biscuits in it all day and put on about 4 stone

Mmmmmm.  I remember it now.

Sorry, missed this post, Pesti.

 

4 cups of plain flour, one egg, around two-thirds of a cup of milk and around two-thirds of a cup of water - maybe a little more water, if necessary.  My Subotica Godmother's recipe, circa 1973.

 

I've heard some people boil them separately, and add them to the pot cooked, but I was taught to drop them straight into the furiously boiling pakrikás and cook them there and then.

 

By the way, I tried some sour cream in it the other day - I must say, very nice.

Fucking lovely.
