RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) As it was Diwali today Aditi thought we should have a vegetarian meal. However as she didn't know what time she would be home rather than an Indian meal she asked for one of her favourite childhood meals which was macaroni cheese. I made it with four different cheeses, the Red Leicester made it look a bit custard coloured but under candlelight (Diwali tradition rather than romantic evening!) it was OK. I'm not sure Matthew is entirely up with Hindu festival tradition as apparently he had pigs blood and pig "insides" today. He said it wasn't that nice really. Living in the international student accommodation at calgary certainly lets him sample world cuisine! Though he went round a Walmart recently and was shocked at the (lack of) vegetable choice.

Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) ....my bangers and mash tasted better pre the phone call from our vicar to say that he thought I would be the ideal candidate to become the new governor for our church school. Funny how you think of the reasons not to do something once you've put the phone down. If it wasn't 'glass of wine time' before...it is now. Have a great evening everybody Dave Edited November 14, 2012 by Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium southern42 Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2012 Did someone mention stuffing? Alright. I own up. We had stuffed pork with bubble and squeak. Practicing for Boxing Day - well, that's my excuse. Sat down after dinner to watch Rosemary and Thyme but got distracted by ERs from page 1305 onwards...Now R&T has finished and I haven't a clue what it was about. No doubt it'll do the rounds again, and I've probably seen it anyway. Now, that must say something about this place. Nice to 'know' you all - Rule Number One in written English classes - don't use the word 'nice' . Never was much good at English - even ended up before the head of English at 16 who told me I would fail - close (lowest pass mark). Did fail Use of English in 6th form though. So, yes, this place is nice, very nice and I have you all to thank for that. Have a nice evening all while I catch up some other nice topics. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Sainsburys had some good discounts on wine today so stocked up. I'm now de-stocking. And the quiche pictured earlier is a lot smaller than it was. Well, you're not meant to drink on an empty stomach. Andy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 Have a nice evening all while I catch up some other nice topics. Aditi has a problem with the word "nice". She was always the "nice" one while her sister was the "clever" one. She was consistently told she was too "nice" to progress to senior management posts. The problem is that she really is nice but as she points out isn't the same as soft. I'm sure I was also told in English at school not to use the word nice. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'm sure I was also told in English at school not to use the word nice. I can remember that too, even from primary school. We were also pointed in the direction of Robert Southey's 'The Cateract of Lodore' as an example of how to use a variety of words. One poem I never managed to learn by heart funnily enough. http://www.bartleby.com/270/1/240.html 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I believe 'nice' may be applied to food or cutting edges. However, I think ERs is nice too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 All this frenetic thinking has got me hungry. So I got on and did some baking.... This is genuine cuisine Anglais, so I've left every stone unturned, Ian, in concocting this!!! Andy Andy, I'm sorry to say this, but that is the worst chocolate sponge I've ever seen. Must try harder (a recurring comment on my old school reports) Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 We had home made chicken curry tonight - with a few bits of apple in it because some of the spuds had gone off, it was nice. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Nice always makes me think of Good Omens (or the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch). Feeling exhausted after a day which started busy and went downhill from there... Nice all... sorry, night all... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think nice has changed meaning over the last century or so. Did not the Duke of Wellington describe Waterloo as "a damned nice thing". I don't think it meant lovely then but something like close or near. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 Whatever I had to eat this evening....it tasted fowl don't you just love the old corny jokes? Onto much more serious matters, I'm currently consuming a glass of single malt whisky, courtesy of the Penderyn Distillery near Hirwaun.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 Biscuits can be 'nice' too, as can that place in France, what was it called, oh, yeah, St Tropez. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 13, 2012 Nice biscuits Nice, France Nice programming language Long ago I could really wind Aditi up by mispronouncing the Nice biscuits as nice not as the French place. And then wind her up even more by replying "How neece" after she had corrected my pronunciation . Her sense of humour is much better now! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixoh8sixoh Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Morning all. Up early as much to do today. In fact I'm awake an hour before my alarm so I think that means my mind is churning things over and is panicking about getting everything done in time. Still pitch black here, not even pre-dawn (prawn?) for another hour or more... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We had home made chicken curry tonight - with a few bits of apple in it because some of the spuds had gone off, it was nice.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted November 14, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2012 Morning all... Hazy and freezing outside, so I sure as H won't venture outside just yet. I'll be at uni in the afternoon and as we'll be off to Leipzig from Thursday afternoon till Sunday, we'll also need to pack our suitcase. SWMBO got us a nice (there, I said it ) new suitcase recently because the other ones we have are definitely showing signs of wearing out. Happy Hump Day and talk to you again later... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashcombe Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Good morning, all! Having TIB after a very "nice" sleep! Awoke feeling very relaxed which is always a good sign. Back to Exercise/Dance Class after a two week break due to grandmotherly duties in Crewe. From tonight's rehearsal for "The Wind in the Willows", we are off books so I must make sure I know my few lines. My costumes have all been sorted and I'm happy with them. We open in just over two weeks!! Have a nice day!! Edited November 14, 2012 by Ashcombe 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted November 14, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2012 Morning all, grumpy as ever I would love to know what a nice day looks like.
