Question of the day ….. Do you eat sausage rolls ? I do love a good sausage roll, but I don’t eat them very often. I have them from Greggs sometimes ….but haven’t they got expensive ! I wonder if you make sausage rolls or buy...

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne Yet people persist in ordering them!! Most people must not be as discerning as us. And I usually find that the little pick of salad on the side has been microwaved too. Who microwaves lettuce?

I rarely order takeaway food because it’s never very nice, but I relented this evening because we’re going away tomorrow and I am just too busy to cook. It was a disaster. I ordered a selection of items from an Indian takeaway,...

Fiacre Banks @ineeddentures If I don’t get a half decent Indian in Manchester tomorrow night I’ll be dismayed. Had an awful one in Edinburgh last month - very watery and insipid.

Fiacre Banks @Traceyjayne The best here are from Asher’s bakery and yes, they’re expensive. Cafes always seem to microwave them … why?

Fiacre Banks @traceyjayne I do, but am always worried that the pastry might be either too dry or too greasy. And I don’t like them microwaved.

Wow. What a demonstration of his ignorance and the fact that the people around him won't correct him. He keeps calling the US attack on Iran and "excursion". The dictionary defines the term as "a short journey or trip,...

We talk a lot here on myLot about what we eat and what foods we like the best and so forth, but I'm asking now what foods you absolutely hate. My list is really long because I don't really like food much. Tomatoes Kale, collard...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Porridge (oatmeal) rice pudding, tapioca. Anything of that texture would come right back up if it managed to get into my mouth in the first place. My list of things inedible used to be very long indeed - must have been really difficult for my...

This has been both highly amusing and deeply disturbing. I mean this whole Iran thing is insane in any case but Trump and Kegseth can't get their stories straight. They aren't even close. Yesterday Trump said that the Iran...

Fiacre Banks @njchicaa In war no-one tells the truth - in peace even less so. None of us know what’s really going on: if we did we’d die from fear or laughing too hard.

Just wondering …. If you needed to , do you think that you could grow all the fruit and veggies that you would need to see you through a year ? I think veggies would be easier but it could be done … What veggies would you grow...

Fiacre Banks @TRACEYJAYNE I would dearly love to become self sufficient in veggies and if I put my heart and soul into it I think I'd do pretty well. The problem however is neither my heart nor my soul - it's my back. I have to limit myself to bursts of 15 minutes or I'd...

Fiacre Banks @traceyjayne I do like a kitkat. I’ll eat anything chocolatey. In the house right now is just penguins and they are no longer classified as chocolate.

It's gloomy out and I didn't like the numbers on the scale or in my blood sugar check this morning, so I'm feeling down. Hubby and I both opted out of going to the gym this morning. I might have to get out my Happy Light later...

Fiacre Banks @ineeddentures Restaurant standards have slumped here while prices have levitated. And I’m not sure about the quality of clientele.
