I like both ingredients but I'm not too sure about having them together This is what one looks like, but hard to say what it tastes like just from a picture! Now if that was a Queen's Pud, I'd be emptying the dish. But it's a vegetable. I can't. I mean, what's next? Corn on the cob served with a sweet raspberry drizzle?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't prove you wrong, but I totally disagree - I know I'm in the minority, but I can take or leave bacon. Like if I have 1 strip a year, I'm fine. If I don't, OK. But there are those in my family who would agree with you, for sure. My SIL makes something called "Bacon Explosion" which is like one of those Russian nested dolls, with bacon inside of something made of bacon inside of something else made of bacon inside of... you get the idea. Here's a recipe for it, but I think my SIL embellished hers (she's a caterer/chef): https://www.food.com/recipe/bacon-explosion-353308 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlotteL Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Uh maybe we should make a recipe thread? With all these holidays approaching it might be fun to exchange some traditional (or our own) recipes from our countries for Christmas cookies, mince pies, turkey stuffings,... And I'm just always desperately looking for new things to cook. As long as it doesn't include more sweet (or any) stuff with bacon (surprised we haven't summoned Michelle yet btw) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH, the WINNER FOR Most Obnoxious Ad on TV right now is this one: That won't be passing any UK ad regulations any time soon!

I'll get back to you on that to exchange some pics and tips (sadly we're too far away to exchange cuttings). There's been times when I've wanted to talk about my plants but I've never been sure if anyone would be interested, I probably will get round to sharing some pics at some point. Thinking about plants, I would love to visit this garden one day here in the UK. https://www.alnwickgarden.com/the-garden/poison-garden/ I keep asking my Mum if we can go but it is quite far from me and it's also not recommended if you have health problems like asthma. So if I ever do go, it might be on my own and who knows if I'll make it out again! Again I wonder if your son, @mellody would be interested in this garden or would it be a bit much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might, but I won't give him ideas. 🙈 Carnivorous plants are already enough, I will NOT support that he fills his room with poisonous plants! I showed him the video this morning. As expected, he loved it and said he wants a plant like that. You can tell that you're among Mika fans when the topic switches from something totally random to food. I guess I have less in common with Mika than I thought... seems his only passion that I share with a similar intensity is music. Can't get much excited about food and recipes. Except maybe chocolate and cake baking recipes. I'd love to try the results of Mika's cooking tho. As long as they don't involve smelly cheese. 🙈😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Sounds like we need a plants thread too. 🪴🌵🌴🌳🌲🌿🌱 I love them, but do not have the touch to keep them going for long. I even managed to kill off a sansevieria, which is meant to be pretty much bullet proof. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Birden Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Wow I didn’t know there was a Poison Garden in the Uk. I will have to remember that and go. I love plants have for many years. And because I live in the Netherlands, I can buy really beautiful plants and go to great garden centers that also have brilliant places to eat and sit around having a coffee surrounded by plants in pots. And reading a book there is perfect too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYWAY, I've certainly had my fair share of psychic experiences too! Quite often I'll be thinking something and my Mum will suddenly bring that topic up in conversation, either that or we both start to say the exact same thing at the exact same time! I've had experiences with friends too and with people I only know online! I personally believe it's more than just synchronicity. I've had moments where I've been completely alone, deep in thought and soon after I've either seen, heard or experienced whatever I was thinking about! And I also believe that Mika fans are always in sync! 😁 Oh, CJ, I cannot wait to tell you this. Earlier we were in the car, listening to the radio. Have not done a lot of either for weeks. changing stations. Came to this great station that plays Broadway music. and. The moment it came on, I recognized the opening notes of a very familiar, but obscure, song, from a very very old play. About a venus flytrap. Suddenly Seymore. I am not often speechless. Three times. Three times. I often usually, regularly, get it in twos. Or long runs of something more common. But come on. Suddenly Seymore.

QueenBigFat Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 You understand, don't you, that this is not about Venus flytraps for me, yes? It is about the extreme coincidences or psychic experiences that my wife and I experience all the time. This was just the most recent, and one of the most over the top, ones.
