NEWKID 27,130 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 4 minutes ago, Ken's Deputy said: Well, how timely that this one should be resurrected tonight. Because I've Literally just come in from the kitchen where, as I slung the powder in my curry, I realised I only had enough left for one more! There's a dilemma! I was thinking how I could buy a sack of sprouts, next week and go into full Winter diet mode. Little option, at this rate, as " Mushroom " has me on ignore and I haven't heard back from that Spanish outfit yet. So, I have no stove - yet - to make a proper one on. May as well ~ wait for it! ~ Put my curries on a back burner! (Fukking bite me! ) Hang in there mate...santa will be there soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 That other fukking thing got here Thursday, mate. Was winging its way back to Amazon the same day. Unopened. Give them their due; I came home from the post office to find my account credited with the full refund Lady at the post office obviously scanned it, there and then. Boosh! That told Amazon it was back in the system and they coughed up instantly! Not even any waiting for them to get their sweaty hands back on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Saw something fascinating, today! I stopped off at the fruit and veg' mans stall, just in time to see him fukk off into the dark distance. Fukk knows what he was up to. But, I was in no rush, so grabbed my few bits and prepared to wait. And, as I'm stood there, this lady appears. I honestly wouldn't have a clue what race or nationality she must of been of. Basically had that 'Indian' look about her. But, once I paid attention? No fukking way! Could have been Sri Lankan, or something? All I can say is that I noticed her hair was hanging out below the hem of her jacket! Anyway, never mind all that. I watched her. And it was fukking amazing! This girl was stalking round and round the stall. Minutely examining everything on there. And, bird like, she'd now and then decide That item was exactly what she was looking for. Now, me? I wanted some spuds. Couple of onions and a carrot. Could have sent a five year old to get them. No difference to me. A spud's a spud. But, this girl? Fukking Fantastic! It was obvious she could choose two peas from a pod of five. And they'd be The peas! Gotta love and respect that level of intimacy with food. I'd fukking love to know what she's cooking tonight. Bound to blow the shit out of the pressure cooked 'curry' I have on the go. In 'Any Other News'; I spotted - and handled! - a real Ginger Root, today! (That sounds fukking bad, doesn't it? Some ginger kunt with a hard on, and I've grabbed it?! FFS!!!) No. That's genuinely my first ever encounter with the real thing. And to think; One of these days I'll be Buying one and bringing it home! Weird! I was eyeballing the garlic cloves too! Wow! What's getting into me?! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I'm getting my stove!!! Made in the Garcima factory, in Valencia, Spain! Sold through some German outfit to Amazon. uk. At Fukking Last!!! Actually? It looks distinctly like the one Al' was using, and recommending highly, in one of his latest vid's! What ever, definitely 'the same thing'. Dunno where his one was made, of course. So; I've got my pot. Got my frying pan. Got my measuring spoons and cups (Did I tell you about them? All good, clean, 'second hand' / vintage stuff. ALL marked " Made In UK "! ) Spoon's due about the next couple of weeks or so too. Second hand. From US. Originally made in India. Sitting here, grinning like a kunt! I Think this is the last of my kit? Refill a gaz bottle. Buy some hose, clips and a regulator and I should be about ready to get cracking!

Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted November 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Thanks, Ted! That's a Seriously interesting little piece. I'll have to have a crafty look at my mans garlic then. I find it interesting, actually, that he has garlic, ginger and the two sorts of peppers - All loose and pretty much displayed sitting in old cardboard boxes. Supermarket, if I remember rightly, tends more towards plastic net bags. Best of all, f course, I can simply Ask him! If someone's got a heated greenhouse - or what ever this stuff takes to produce? He'd just say. I'll let this thread know, as soon as I establish anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
