First, well done! Second, I can sympathise... my MIL just doesn't understand me! We have the strangest converastions, but at least she's got over being disappointed with me (I'm the second wife & although my OH & I have been together now for 18 years, she's still very close to the first one...).

They're sent to try us!

My MIL is just not very good at communicating. She'll ask a question, then turn around and talk to someone else without listening to the answer. Infuriating and means you have to spend a lot of time repeating yourself and feeling ignored. Ah well, she won't be visiting again for months hopefully.

Just the one day? I've just booked the flights for my MIL to come out for 2 whole weeks in the summer . Better stock up on the camomile tea and chill out music (for me, not her).

OMG. Mine lives nearby but I do my best to avoid... Best of luck Purplebint. Seacrest - you need more than luck, 2 weeks???? Arrgghhhhhhhh....

If mine moved nearby, I would have to move away! *shudders at the thought*

Ha ha! I wasn't on line last night & missed the whole MIL diversion . Very funny... Keldelacoe I laughed out loud at your comment. And lucky you Alycyn - you appear to be in a minority of one!! I'll be using an abnormal number of syns on alcohol at the end of June....

And back on topic - well done on the loss Purplebint!

Hiya

Purplebint - swede chips???!!! How can I make them edible? I have some sumac ...have never had it but apparently sort of lemony... Dunno, hmmmmm. x

 

[Purplebint]

I do mine the same as SW chips, parboil, quick spray with frylight and then cook on a baking mesh. Sumac works really well, as does garlic pepper, aromat, cayenne, paprika...lots of things really

 

[TtMummy]

Thanks
