^I'm not sure what you are saying , Hal, ignore if preventing it!
Don't care what you think of me, I feel sexy as I am. What you say doesn't matter one bit.
Now I am going on a long hike in the forest with my bf. Enjoy chumming with your pals.

Well, I certainly wasn't saying anything about this no matter what you misconstrued:

For further clarification, just stop patronising us with your inane bollocks which we know isn't true.

There are two twos in that sentence.

Can you put 2 and 2 together?

Biggest white knuckle ride I had was a wopping 3 kilos!!

I shit you not.

Three big meals and 10 pints of guiness then a mug of tea in the morning to ease the bowels of hell to open up.

Weighed before and after(not a bad idea for a thread).

Yeah, thanks for not quoting that.

In her late fifties doing baby talk - what a massive cringe that was.

Well she has been vegetarian for a whole three months. How else will she make sure everyone knows?

Strewth, that's impressive.

Had a lovely little bread, pickle and something else sandwich in Moscow yesterday afternoon. The locals are lovely and I put General Snubby on loudspeaker so we could all praise Vlad together.

Oh yeah, a 6% beer came with it as well followed by a trip to Burger King.

**Joe 90** · 11-09-2023, 07:30 PM

Nice.

The only meal I've had in Russia was a free bowl of red cabbage soup about 30 years ago served up by 10 ton Olga in the airport.

My flight was delayed for a day and the sirport was full of delayed passengers from all over.

Ended up spending most of the time on the Guiness in the Russias first Irish bar talking to Hippies, Drug Smugglers, Business types,trolley dolleys, economic refugees and backpackers.

Anyhow 10 ton Olga had a trolley with a squeaky wheel laden down with bowls of red cabbage soup, everyone in the tetminal got a bowl whether you wanted it or not.
No one refused Olgas hospitality.

I've actually just popped out for a bowl of borscht with comrade helge!

Lunch ... the second course-20230902_144408-jpg

He enjoyed the soup but felt we should have worked harder for it and might have spent a couple of weeks in the gulag to show our appreciation.

Odd fella.

**helge** · 11-09-2023, 11:29 PM

I do not eat borst anymore

It's an ukranian dish/bowl.

I love the stuff if you get a good one. My hot Russian neighbour back in Oz use to bring us up a pot of it every Friday because she worried about our lack of eating habits over the weekend.

We had Ukrainian galley crew offshore Israel for 9 weeks and I thought their take on it was a bit shite in comparison.

No sandwiches today so I'll be off to my fav noodle shop for lunch.

**Stumpy** · 12-09-2023, 02:10 PM

Wife made a big pot of Pork broth and served up a big bowl of Sen mee tom yum moo bowl of soup.

. Perfect on a rainy day.

The wife bought a huge jar of kimchi in costco today
.I don't much care for it. She seems to like it though. Suppose it's gonna be kimchi farts for a few days now. Wish I had never introduced her to the " Dutch oven"

Lunch was a lovely affair with helge in one of our favourite places in Moscow and we ended up debating the concept of former people and whether this could eventually translate to the evil west. He's such a laidback, fun guy and I'm really enjoying these lighthearted chats that we're having.

Lunch ... the second course-20230831-115640-jpg

I was absolutely starving today so I decided to treat myself to a pancake as well.

Lunch ... the second course-20230831-115711-jpg

It was a heavy last weekend for us both, so we passed on the ale. We won't be making that mistake at the weekend though when we get together to talk about the good times under Uncle Joe!

Lunch ... the second course-20230831-122538-jpg

Chicken and potatoes in cream sauce with roasted vegetables and a coffee custard pudding for me (and a meat pancake on the side). Remind me to tell the waiter next time that the soup kitchen's presentation skills leave quite a bit to be desired and could create a poor impression of The Motherland for foreign visitors.

Lunch ... the second course-20230914-142137-jpg

Roasted chicken breast, plov and mixed veggies for Helge (his favourite).

Lunch ... the second course-20230914-142153-jpg

And here is the half-eaten solyanka we lovingly shared!

Would be nice if you picked up the bill one of these days

Your pronounciation in russian is almost perfect when you do your "I hate beer, but love Vodka" chant.

Quite the "hygge spreder" you are

You know by now mate that I tend to show a clean pair of heels when the word "bill" starts being bandied around.

Today we went to the opening of a Italian chain resto in a mall.....well overpriced for marginal food, we thought it was the best way to celebrate our 17th anniversary.

Started with calamari and eggplant parm (pictured). It was the best of the bunch.

Lunch ... the second course-377111597_1296295547695150_229808092332782945_n-jpg

The wife got salmon and I got lasagna....the wife said she cooks better salmon and the lasagna had to be the worst I've ever tried. It was soupy and there was very little filling between the sheets.

Lunch ... the second course-377109699_609993571071587_8424652285452792044_n-jpg

The best part of the meal was that if we used our credit card to pay, the meal would be 1/2 price.

**cyrille** · 15-09-2023, 08:53 PM

Yikes.

Straws needed for the lasagne.

And have they sprinkled something on the top there to simulate grilled cheese?
