Still looking for chatty accountants! #journorequest

You were eavesdropping on a conversation that didn't concern you, you were rude to ask about the language, they replied in English and now you're upset? Do you only speak the local language in private conversations when you're on holiday? This is how stupid you sound.

[Lucy White @lucyjaynewhite1]

Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language.

I asked them “What language are you speaking?”

They responded “Hindi”

I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S.

We must confront them every time.

Why is a stupid racist unable to comprehend that not every British person looks like her?

[Lisa @lisareality1]

Why is an air crash in India treated like it happened in the UK?

[Georgia Lewis @georgialewis76]

FREE TO A GOOD HOME! Does anyone need a microwave or know someone who does? Perhaps a charity could use a microwave? Can deliver in the Greater London area or the north-east at Xmas.
The microwave is perfectly serviceable. I just fancied a new science oven with extra functions.

[Georgia Lewis @georgialewis76]

FOOD TWITTER! Has anyone bought one of these multi-cookers or similar? Is the Reheat function on these bad boys any good? That is pretty much all we use the microwave for, so if it reheats well, I think I might pounce on a deal and ditch the microwave... https://t.co/TdrG92HP8Z

Made these yesterday. Used sugar rather than maple syrup and added dessicated coconut. Forgot the baking powder, but it was fine. Like a nutty, fudgy Bounty bar... - Georgia

When two Australians reminisce about the abomination that is tuna mornay...

[Sam and King Lucy the 1st @KingLucythe1st]

GBBO: In Australia, the 70s was the era of Tuna Mornay. As @georgialewis76 can confirm, tuna mornay was so awful that you would not feed it to your dog or cat. It was an abomination of a dish.

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

Pre-#strictly dinner prep! Turkey steaks with smoked paprika and dill, asparagus oven-ready with leftover hollandaise hazelnut butter, plus the makings of Ukrainian potatoes! 🇺🇦

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

Recipe here: https://t.co/wfaqNl7XU9

(Ignore the suspiciously short cooking and prep times! I need to fix that...)

[Georgia Lewis @georgialewis76]

Great for livening up stews and casseroles, I use it in my bloody Mary tomato soup (served with a shot of vodka...), and in a pinch, it can be mixed with hot water for an emergency stock.

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

Yep. Fritters can be a great way to use up leftover curry or pasta sauce, especially if there's not quite enough to feed everyone for another meal. Just add the leftovers to the flour, eggs and water and fry.

[Sam and King Lucy the 1st @KingLucythe1st]

Back in the 70s, when money was tight towards the end of the month, Mum used to make fritters. Some flour, an egg, water, and whatever she had to hand - a can of corn, a courgette, a bit of ham, anything really. A cheap and easy way to bulk out a meal.

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

And it was yummy!

[Georgia Lewis @georgialewis76]

Getting great value out of my BBC licence fee by cooking a Hairy Bikers chicken and lemon tagine' recipe I saw on #SaturdayKitchen this morning while watching #Strictly live on the iPlayer...

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

Cheeky potato...

[Women In the Food Industry @women_food_wifi]

Loving that #TerriMerciea's surname is an anagram of ice cream (@HappyEndingsLDN)🫶👍 Thanks @matt_tebbutt 🍦🍦 Her wonderful #IceMagic style chocolate covered cones & ice cream sandwiches are keeping the @SaturdayKitchen guests quiet too as they dive in 😉😋 #SaturdayKitchen

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

Good to know! Thank you!

[Women In the Food Industry @women_food_wifi]

@MunchingMatilda Try some of the orange wines from @tasteunionuk - they are all organic & from sustainable growers too!

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

❤️

[Women In the Food Industry @women_food_wifi]

We've see #GeorginaHayden's chicken on Instagram & it's definitely not "soupy chicken" @matt_tebbutt 😉😉🍅🍗🐓 #SaturdayKitchen @SaturdayKitchen We're also big fans of bulgur wheat too 🫶

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

Really keen to try orange wine. I love a good wine adventure, like the time I tried vin gris - grey wine - in Morocco, which is an amazing twist on rosé and it never gave me a hangover. - Georgia

[Women In the Food Industry @women_food_wifi]

Liking @jollyolly choice of orange wine 🥂🥂 for #GeorginaHayden's chicken on #SaturdayKitchen It's from Crete & apparently the skins have only been macerated in the wine for 7 days & isn't too tangy @SaturdayKitchen

[Munching Matilda @MunchingMatilda]

Meanwhile, on Facebook, a friend has shared this salad she made... - Georgia
