Poor Mr P is unwell, dreadful cold, I know he feels awful because he is actually taking tablets, which he so rarely does.

He has taken himself of to the sofa, which is a first for him at this time of day.
sad

In the fridge there is what is described as a "Spanish sharing platter" of 2 types of Chorizo, olives stuffed with pimento and Manchego cheese with chilli.

I sooo want to rip it open and eat it! I could easily eat the whole lot and bury the packaging in the bin blush

But that would make me a very bad phoenix !

Phoenix you can't possibly take it to work shock. Just think of the mess you'd make. You'd put greasy fingers all over the furniture. No, by far the best thing to do would be to remove the temptation completely. Give it to me now and I will dispose of it it my garbage disposal (my stomach in other words) grin

If it is still in the fridge, I'm planning to take it to work tomorrow for my lunch!

I hàve taken some home made pea and ham soup out of the freezer for Mr P, should he still be at home.

Sorry, that last post didn't make sense at all (thinking about eating the whole platter by myself!)

Two or more persons' sharing platter could be another person's dinner grin

rosequartz Sun 20-Sept-15 15:09:42

One person's 'sharing platter' could be another person's 'dinner' wink

Thanks, there is a newish Morrisons within a couple of miles so I may give it a go fairly soon.

Anne58 Sun 20-Sept-15 11:31:38

Charleygirl it's £3 from Morrisons, although you could do a self assembly one buying the bits from Waitrose.

Would cost more though!

I love Lidl's steak selection you can't buy better imo,good choice phoenix

Charleygirl Sun 20-Sept-15 10:25:32

phoenix where did you buy the sharing platter because it sounds yummy. Unfortunately I live too far away to contemplate sharing it with you! If it is still in the fridge that is!

I do hope that Mr. P will feel well enough to return to work tomorrow.

Anne58 Sun 20-Sept-15 10:13:38

Morning all!

I was very good and managed to restrain myself. (polishes halo).

Well, I DID with the "sharing" platter, I'm afraid the Cava didn't fare so well blush

Yummy steak, Lidl extra matured Scottish rib eye. grin

She's not telling us is she. [Hmmmmmmm]

I think she has eaten 'the lot' and on her 2nd Gaelic Coffee and mints.

Deedaa Sat 19-Sept-15 22:17:06

It might be out of date by the time Mr P feels well enough and it would be wicked waste if you had to throw it away. Far better to eat it now grin

Katek Sat 19-Sept-15 22:09:58

Yum!!smile

Luckygirl Sat 19-Sept-15 21:14:24

Is it still in the fridge??!

MiniMouse Sat 19-Sept-15 21:12:14

'if' not 'of' blush

MiniMouse Sat 19-Sept-15 21:11:26

phoenix It's OK to eat it of you're standing up, it doesn't count then wink

rosequartz Sat 19-Sept-15 20:38:34

Yes, go for it. You do need to keep your strength up. Take a couple of vitamins afterwards for good measure, washed down with Cava grin

The question is 'What would Mr P do for you?'

baubles Sat 19-Sept-15 20:20:12

Absolutely got to be Heinz Katek grin

glammanana Sat 19-Sept-15 20:09:52

Mine has to be chicken soup with thickest toast you can get in the toaster ousing butter,did you manage to stop yourself opening that delicious sounding platter phoenix ? we did Aldi Steak Medalions & salad for tea tonight with garlic mushrooms but had cider instead of cava envy

Indinana Sat 19-Sept-15 20:05:29

I'm not going to stop you - I've just eaten two Tesco individual fruit trifles. Well they come in packs of 2, what was I supposed to do? blush

POGS Sat 19-Sept-15 20:01:21

I'd eat it.

You need to keep your strength up for the coming day or two running after Mr. P no doubt.

Anyway it's 8pm now have you demolished it? grin

loopylou Sat 19-Sept-15 19:46:10

Go for it phoenix, it's your duty to ensure you are fit and healthy enough to care for poor ailing MrP hmm
Taking Cava for your medicinal purposes, to keep your strength up, doesn't count, does it?
I'm sure your DH would fully agree grin

I adore Heinz tomato soup......... with buttered sourdough toast envy just checked in cupboards, none to be found hmm

Katek Sat 19-Sept-15 18:47:16

Heinz tomato soup, Baubles?

Anne58 Sat 19-Sept-15 18:38:17

Quite, Anà, and that would be wasteful!

Ana Sat 19-Sept-15 18:08:03

I should hope not - it'd have gone off by now! grin

jogginggirl Sat 19-Sept-15 18:00:08
