Gotta tell ya George, when you post a link to a place called nutsonline.com, I was a little concerned to click it on my work computer.
Good! My work here is done...
I've got a little mailing list where I send out funny stuff ('n other stuff) that I get to a selected few and the first thing I tell them is, "Do NOT, NEVER EVER
open an e mail from me in front of other people"
That would be MY disclaimer
Dunno what Pesto is here but in Spain (or rather, at my local bar in Torremolinos), it was some kind of fried meat and veggies. Great stuff by the way
Makes perfect sense

Toasted pine nuts in a salad are very nice indeed.
I put a jar of Marchs' special reserve Mango Chutney in the trolly last night at Lidl. Mrs Noggin says 'why the hell did you get this? You don't like mango chutney, remember?' to which I replied - it's to keep March Brown quiet... So she says 'who the hell is March Brown'..... Anyway I am hoping it will be good to go with turkey leftovers.

If it was the purple label Lidls mango chutney , it will be perfect with turkey leftovers or rightovers or any other turkey stuff ... Even the milder Green label one will be OK ... I loved it till I discovered the purple one.
If you have the green (for wimps) Lidls mango chutney , you could blend the green label with the purple label to get your own favourite blend ... Never tried it yet as I now use the purple label type ... The youngest Grandson (7) loves the green label one , so we have to keep some in stock just for him ... I haven't tried him on the purple one yet , but some time soon I will let him try it ... Hopefully he won't like it , but knowing my luck , he will ... Will keep you all posted on his maturing taste for things oriental.
The general idea of "Turkey procurement" is to get the biggest one that will fit into the oven ... This is just in case the weather changes and you can't get out to the Indian takeaway ... We have a stock of assorted jars of Madras and other curry sauces for just such an eventuality and "too much turkey" can be used up easily ... Magic.
Our next lot of visitors are coming on Friday for a few days and then the family will all be with us for Xmas lunch ... I have been warned not to use any Mango chutney on that meal so I will have to plaster the red jam on it ... I love that too.
Mrs M-B is getting fed up of Xmas as she has had to make several Xmas lunches for our assorted visitors ... She says that every year though ... I've suggested that we go away for Xmas , but she says that she loves being at home at that time of the year ... I don't understand her reasoning !

I somehow managed to end up being the xmas lunch cook this year. I don't even like my in-laws. Last year I stayed home with the cats and had a great time.
I have laid down some rules, the most important being - at 3:30pm everyone has to go home.... Humbug.

I love this rule it should be applied throughout Christmas, regardless of whether or not you enjoy the persons company.
I like Mrs. Noggin already. Hilarious.
I am picturing you sitting there with the cats watching soccer by yourself, drinking a cocktail, marveling at the quietness of the house and how you don't have to deal with your family. Hilarious.

Had to stop for beer today, as I was running low. (Didn't get carded either... :thinking
While I was at the grocery store, I looked for mango chutney. In the ethnic foods area, I found two different ones. I bought this one. "Luxury". Had to be good.
Not as delicious as I had hoped. I really liked that spicy shredded mango chutney a couple weeks ago. This one is green and smooth. I was really hoping for the best. It went on a turkey sandwich today, and I wasn't in love. It's ok, but too heavy on the fennel for my taste. I'm not really a fennel fan. I think I'm gonna have to try again with a different one.

I think that's normal ... I didn't like any of my in-laws ... They took sides during the divorces (etc.) ... Don't ask about the etcetera !

That's a great idea 'cos in our house that's before the meal.

and here 3.30 is just after my breakfast time! so.. basically. they would be welcome to come after 2.30pm and out the door by 3.30pm. that could be tolerated.
family xmas dinner would be around 8pm. inlaws.. visits on 25th or 26th (or brief visit on 24th before 6pm..) we dont do "annoy the extended family by visiting them for hours" routine. yeah.. the xmas eve is our main part of xmas.. like we give presents on 24th (in the evening).

You know when there's a sign that says "don't step on the grass" we all step on the grass, when someone leave a "wet paint" sign we always touch it and when someone says don't ask about the etcetera we ask about the etcetera.
Sooooooo......... What about the etcetera?
March, acid DOES have a point...

I dare not write about my "etceteras" because I am happily married to a lovely trusting lady ... CPF is a bit like Facebook , if you say something , then everybody in the world will find out ... Since I can't afford another divorce/separation/new house (again) , I cannot divulge my "etceteras" ... On pain of bankruptsy.
You may not have realised but March Brown is a sort of Nom-de-Plume , chosen specifically to avoid recognition by other readers that might recognise these particular "etceteras".
If they have the internet in the afterlife , I will divulge all my secrets , 'cos it would then be too late to matter.
My lips are tightly sealed ... Only money (substantial monthly payments) would prise these "etceteras" from me.
If I had not mentioned some of the very early "etceteras" to close friends whilst having a few drinks , I would be a lot richer now.

taking sides is normal in every conflict.. i believe you just resent the fact they didnt take YOUR side. if they had, its likely you would like them better.

On the food side I've just had a lemon curd yoghurt from Marks and Spencer's and it was soooo good. Creamy and fluffy and tasty and I have another in the fridge!

Traitor ... Why didn't you go to Lidls ...
I guess you're a wealthy stock-broker shopping at M&S ... In a moment of weakness , I once bought some underpants there a few years ago ... Technically I didn't really buy them , but someone gave me an M&S voucher thing for my birthday and I had to put about a pound to it as the underpants were in a pack of three ... That's a long while ago though , but it's the only time I've shopped there ...
When are Poundstretchers going to sell wine and spirits ?
