inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of3 March 2021, pattern.
When I bought a pet piglet today,
I was told to give daily buffet,
If I follow that pattern,
The piglet will fatten,
And will make a nice lunch Christmas Day.

I don’t see that happening with you 😉 you’d be way to attached to make bacon.

No, I’m a sentimental old fool, it’s true. I do still eat bacon very rarely, if it’s going out of date. For us, wasting food is a biggie, too.

My kids are trash compactors; better thank having piglets. Food waste not a worry here too much.

Oh, god, when I think back… We used to spend over £100/week on food. Even accounting for inflation, we now spend only £50. And a lot of that is cat food. We have downsized so much.

I’d say we spend 80-90 euro a week before wine and beer. My kids aren’t picky so they are happy with basic meals. Spend most of that in the fresh section. Fruity kids. Wine doesn’t count, right?

I have bottle after bottle of 20yo Burgundies in the garage, and I drink maybe only 3 bottles per year! But for me, an aide memoire – I smell it, I am back there.

You’re right we should share some food if we’re drinking two bottles of wine. 😉

Huh, guess I could bring the worlds 2nd greatest chocolate 🍫 n the world of you make Eton Mess.

You like that? I was never into meringue. But don’t worry, I’m not really fussy as long as I get my chocolate. Do you know some really good chocolate here is just from Lidl?
There is a tentative roadmap here for coming out of lockdown but I will have to wait to June before I can go someplace to eat nice puddings. But something like Eton Mess would be easy enough to make as long as strawberries are in season.

Oh, man. June? I prefer raspberry Eton Mass, but if I don’t get out of here before June, I’m going to be on the next border watch show with a backpack and flashlight trying to sneak into another country. 😂

Well, it’s staggered, but they do seem to have thought it through a bit this time. Schools here are next week, rising to everything in June.
Schools here gained a reputation as breeding grounds, so they want pupils to be tested some. But a surprising number of parents have witheld their consent, apparently. Ultimately, test, vaccines, none of it is compulsory.
