JINGL739, ahoy!

jings where are you hiding? Are you on a walkabout? It's awful quiet without you.

I think I've upset her again!

jeni Surely not. Why can't we all jostle along and enjoy each other? Gracious me, life really is far too short!

Nah. I've forgotten what it was now, or which thread, so it can't matter much. You'll be back, won't you, jings. Are you really up to 739. Worse than me!

Think it was the N. piercing/cancer fund one Bags

I actually agreed with her too

There you go...we're all entitled to an opinion. I could have shut up shop umpteen times since joining you lot...but I'd never have as much fun on my ownsome. Come on jings we're one, big, bossy, beautiful, bolshy, barmy gang

...what more do you want?

Actually, she came back for that one, jacey, as imjings. She had been imjingl. She said 'bye' on another thread a couple of days before that, if I am not mistaken. That's the one I've forgotten.

She posted a grin yesterday on the "free the gransnet one" thread, so she is lurking!

Sorry, jings, I was hoping to talk to you rather than about you.

"Grans are grandmas and grandpas" thread. 8th May.

So, come back as jingl7 or something, eh jings?

Who's jinglo then?

We really don't mind what you call yourself. Please come back and stay put. And that's a friendly ask, jingl

That was jingl's[insert random number] identity.

Bags that answers my original question. By the 'eck this really is taking up too much of my time. Feed cats. Bring in washing. Throw a roast in the oven. Hoppity hop with 55 mins to G&T time...slurp!

Which reminds me, I must boil up that lamb leg bone again. Wonder if all the lovely nutritious marrow has come out yet?

Heads bonewards.....

Was just reading claudio Rodin. Apparently they used to hire out a ham bone to put in a stew. Is that what you are doing bags?

Wonder if it's Duncan's old bone?
when may be getting rid of the evidence.....

Now there's an idea!

Hire out? So it was used in several soup/stew pots. How weird! We had a half leg of lamb the other day. DH gnawed off the remaining meat for his lunch the next day. Then I took the bone and a wooden board and a butcher's cleaver outside and hacked it in half so the marrow could get out more easily. Then I chucked it in a pan with an onion roughly chopped but not peeled (the skins give a nice dark yellow/orange colour), and some mushrooms that had dried up because I'd forgotten about them. I think that was all.

At some point I'll make some soup but haven't decided what kind yet. The contents of various bowls of leftovers in the fridge may decide this.

When I lived in Dundee I used to buy a big marrow bone from the butcher to make lentil soup, which was our staple other than porridge and peanut butter butties. It was dead good.

Yes apparently the cost varied according to how many minutes you put it in for and many times it had been previously used. It's in her new Spanish cooking book,

I adore marrow!

Bags. Yes. That and 'agy' previously.

jeni. You have never upset me. As if! mwah

*soop^. Not hiding. Been down the pub out for lunch. here!

I haven't left because of anything any poster has said, or because of any particular thread. I just spend too much time on here.

My name is jingl5001approx and I'm a gransnet-aholic. And I've got to get over it.
