if youre so smart with parmo, tell me the three basic variations.

 

[TdC]

erm...small, medium and large?





*badum tish*

 

[tris-]

see, you buggers know nowt of the parmo

its chicken, pork and steak FYI!!!11

 

[TdC]

I'll have a small chicken to go please, with a twist of lemon!

 

[tris-]

oh my.

never go to boro. the takeaway you try to buy that from will tie you up in a dark room and put fresh parmo bits under your eye lids

well, being as I'm a whiny bitch, and my awesome mother -who actually listens instead of telling me to fo- who often provides weird and wonderful solutions to my myriad issues with life...well thanks to her something amazing happened to me this morning (please note I use amazing in the loosest possible sense of the word):


weeks ago I was in deep one of my many (and varied, I must add) rants about how much Holland sucks and why I should go live in Barbados or something, whith this rant's topic being: you can't make proper porage with oats from the NL because it's just not the same as oats in Scotland. For some reason it just turns out slightly different.

anyway, weeks later, my magic mum suddenly turns up with "real scottish" (yeah right, btw) instant microwave porage oats. you can microwave them, son. it will save you time in the mornings!

vowing to myself to throw the heinous box away when I got home I didn't, and this morning I tried them out. firstly...they exploded in my microwave. the unit's insides now looks like something I imagine only Trem could get away with. secondly, either they, or my milk, tastes decidedly dodgy indeed and thirdly, they were lumpy, and everyone knows lumpy porage is not on :/

my mouth now feels strange and tastes funky from merely tasting it before deciding it was not to be. so bad in fact that my morning coffee-laced breath can't disguise it

if I yet live,later on this day I will report back with the status of my mid-day poo :/

2 minutes at ~500W, stir like a madman and then another 30 sec at ~500W.

btw tdc, never go by what it tells you on the packet. It always turns out like shit.

Best bet is to prepare your porrage as it tells you too, then vary on the times till you get the right one, ie 1 minute. If not cooked, do for aother minute.

FFS Step into the modern days and have this like the rest of the world

 

[Chilly]

eugh. at least four different brands on those frosties makes ones eyes bleed

My advice on porridge is simple...

Cook it as you like.

Serve with a teaspoon/tablespoon of golden syryp.

Enjoy!

I can't stress how awesome this makes the porridge taste. Its a must!

But seriously, microwave porridge. Why?! Silly Briton.

tdc is from euroslavistan, not britain.

eitherway though, microwaving porridge and cooking it in a pan makes no real difference. you can still make creamy porridge in a microwave.

Right - ok! I have kept quiet about this to spare her blushes so far, but tonight Mrs J claimed 'I bet loads of people have done that' and argued with me, so I'm posting it

The sachets of microwave porridge we got have a line near the top of the bag, the idea being that you tip the oats into a bowl, then fill the sachet to the marked line with milk, which you add to the bowl and then microwave.

Mrs J didn't quite get this. She opened the sachet, added the milk to the line, then put the sachet in the microwave for the specified time. She then wondered why the sachet tipped over and micro'd porridge was washing around the microwave



Anyone else done that ?????

 

[mycenae]

Poor Mrs J...you do realise she now has every right to be grumpy with you?

TDC is porridge not porage

Oh dear god above

BUT has she ever said "isn't it cool how the trees grow to the exact shape of the lorries that go under them when they grow by a road"? Thats right, Samm once said that.

I've porridge every morning (cooked in the micro!) for my breakfast, its awesome! Quaker Oats, some milk, micro for two minutes, open the micro, stir and add more milk then hit it for another minute. I normally either have natural yoghurt and almonds or honey and banana with it. Tastes awesome and keeps the pooper regular!

Thats just a different kind of genius. I bet Mrs. J is soon up for zombie kill of the week

I'm determined to get into porridge. Not only because its supposed to be good for you but because you need something hot and warming inside you riding down the motorway on a motorbike in the dark winter mornings. Also I get bored with Weetabix with hot milk. Used to have porridge as a kid. Then something must have put me off it for life...

 

[TdC]

I had that with seafood. As a child I LOVED all things fishy, then I went through about 20 years of finding it disgusting, and only managing a fish finger if it was slathered in sauce :/

 

[Lamp]

If our Most Worshipful alien overlords (peace be upon them) were to order you to eat fish fingers then what ? eh? eh ?

Having popped on the KEA CSS server a couple of times with Mr TdC now, I can unfortunately assure you that this is not the case.

(unless he's on your side)
