Hi, I'm pg and I'm.....
**collective gasp**
A rub-aholic.
A marinate-ophile.
And my organic grocer is my enabler.
There I was, quietly buying some salad mix from the grocer, when, I saw it... well.. them actually, but it was THE ONE.
I had to have it.
corriander, sea salt, chilli and kaffir lime rub.
It's pay week.. I can afford it.
I don't neeeeeeed it.
(but I want it)
I bought it.
And then realised that it's the SIXTH packet of rub I've bought this week.
I am helpless.
I see a rub and I MUST have it.
How can I resist when I read this on the back of a rub:
BED OF ROSES
Massage into lamb shanks or chicken thighs for a sensuous tagine, or rub onto a deboned leg of lamb
See??? My hands get all shakey just being NEAR a rub.
Could hardly take the photo with the jones I had going!!!
I'm like some women are with shoes. Or hand bags. Or chocolate.
I got home and realised I have purchased 9 different rubs in two weeks.
Something is wrong with me.
Help.
I've already opened it, so I can't take it back. ... and I want it so bad.
it's sad.
(Corriander, chilli, SS and kaffir lime potatoes tonight
)
I'm a shoe fiend. If we go en masse to the next Harvest Picnic you'll be quivering in your purple knickers for all the rubs they seem to have there.
ReplyDeleteMe? I'm a fresh herb freak. Don't really go near many of the dried bits unless doing an Asian or Middle Eastern braise.
I used to like to bash around with the mortar and pestle with pastes and get up to the forearms smearing fish and meat up, but as I am discovering, not much of the excellent meat we eat now needs much adornment. Am I becoming a purist? **She says holding her hands to her mouth**
Sticky, STOP ENABLING ME!!
ReplyDeleteAs a reformed shoe whore (who broke 3 bones in their foot while wearing purple velvet 4inch stiletto thigh high CFM boots and discovered the joys of Crocs)I understand you only too well.
My purple panties are verily a quiver at the thought of the Harvest Picnic!!!
there is a time and a place for everything...
ReplyDeleteIf that is your worst habit Ella, I will take it!!!! People have all sorts of bad habits, yours hurts no one and gives pleasure to all around you, it's all good!!! I think the greatest pleasure is to share food and when it's good food, well this is just a win/win situtation! You knock yourself out girl!!! More power to you and your rubs!!!! Vida x x x
ReplyDeletePondered whether to comment on this one or not!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see the word 'panties' I am reminded of my wifes uneasiness with that word, especially if spoken or written by a bloke. She thinks it sounds creepy. She reakons briefs or knickers are better. I think I might get blackbanned if I used 'panties' & 'rub' in the same post! That out of the way, I have to agree with the last comment, if thats the sum total of your vices PG(IS this your rating, maybe it should be AO?), you've got a vip medallion at club heaven no problemo.
I specifically use the word "pantie" in conjunction with a leery kinda grin. It IS a creepy word, which is why I love it!!
ReplyDeleteNo-one commented on my thigh-high velvet CFM's??
I'm shattered.
you kids crack me up!
ReplyDeleteSee??
ReplyDeleteOnly in pg's kitchen can you go from marinades to thigh high CFM's, via the nastiness of panties, with a quick segue into "a-quiver", in the space of a few posts...
;)
...or come to my blog for genital topiary, custard and cheese.
ReplyDeleteGive me CFM's over Crocs any day.
I ignored the CFM's because I didn't want to ignite you inner bogan seeing that you were already in a slather over the harvest picnic!
ReplyDeleteAll I can say ... never a dull moment in the house of fur & purple love (or Chez fur for that matter)
ReplyDeleteShe throws spices & rubs over everything she's about to eat, makes no difference if she's wearing CFM's or Crocs.
