I don't live in Cornwall

(Thats where the famous 'cornish pastys' are from)

 

[staralfur]

Spag bol is just spaghetti with meat sauce isn't it?

 

[babydust1990]

Wait wait wait... You don't know what spag bol is? You need it in your life!

 

[robinator]

Baby's waking up. I may or may not take her to the chippy and whip out a boob

 

[robinator]

Spag bol is just spaghetti with meat sauce isn't it?

Hell, we have that. Don't need no fancy name like "spag bol" lol. I always think its spaghetti bologna and I think to myself, "those British people eat some pretty wacky stuff".

 

[fieryphoenix]

Arent chips just French fries? Lol

 

[babydust1990]

Arent chips just French fries? Lol

Yup!

 

[fieryphoenix]

And pastys are just slightly fancier hot pockets

 

[AngelofTroy]

Chips are big FAT versions of fries nom nom there is my diet blown!!

 

[babydust1990]

Spag bol is:

Spaghetti

Bolognese sauce:
Onions
Mince
Tomatoes
Kidney beans
Garlic

You can add other herbs and veggies into the sauce though, and I use baked beans instead of kidney beans.

Bite my tongue experience happened today, at Joann's fabrics. I went to check out and conversation went like this:

Cashier: oh, your baby is so tiny!!! Is he a few days old?

Me: He is about 4.5 months now- he came early.

Cashier: wow. He is so small. What's that box attached to him?

Me: because he's a preemie he needs an apnea and heart monitor 24/7 since he still has some apnea episodes.

Cashier: oh my god, I'm so sorry. Is he going to make it???

Me:.......yes......

Because its obviously common practice to send a dying baby home and I'd be walkin about the craft store with him who the hell asks that kind of question to a stranger with their baby anyway?!?

That. Sounds. Amazing.

I've had a version of that before! Chili mac

Kidney beans????


(All the Italians faint at once)


They are the devils spawn...and have a surprisingly devastating effect on my digestive system .

Spaghetti Bol (minus evil kidney beans - you Northerners *are* a little odd ) is the best!

It is very similar to chilli! I use the same base and just add some different spices and serve with rice, not pasta

OT: I want a cat so much, but I'm renting and I'm not allowed.

And now back to biting my tongue again...

When someone says, "Oh I'm sure you're gonna be fine." Basically it means they don't give a d*** whether or not the person's going to be ok or die.

THIS is what my best friend said to me when I started spotting at 6 weeks, then turned around and told everyone! I was miscarrying. (We hadn't announced yet) Oh. That's news to me considering not a single doctor or nurse I spoke to even mentioned that word after a night in the ER and subsequent dr visits. (She has had 5 miscarriages herself, so she knows the deal. Also, exbest friend.)


Oh, and another thing that irks me: When babies who can't hold their head up by themselves are placed in the seat of a shopping cart. Sometimes, they're not even strapped in. I see this a lot at work and I just shake my head. Poor kids always look so uncomfortable with their heads just flopping and rolling around.

When I miscarried, my very special cousin told me she knew how I felt because she had to take her cat to be put down. No offense to the cat lovers, but I wanted to slap her!
