Stitch and bitch and Chutney making....

[Callie]

I have some jars for you lovely ladies but can anyone advise me how to get yucky oily tomatoey stains off the lids?? washing up liquid and hot water doesnt seem to be doing the trick unless they need soaking over night?

 

[Pieface]

do you want me to bring apples?

please!

I really don't know how many you need but was going to double up each recipe?

Can you work it out and if we have too few I'll go down the shops

 

[Ms T]

please!

Hello Mrs Pie

Could you let me have your address please.

so that's 2lb of cut apples. so i'd reckon the 2 3/4 lb of bramleys i've got sitting in my kitchen will do nicely

 

[Pieface]

Hello -

right, there are a few of you asking what to bring:

Ruby - pan
MsT - pan
Toggle - apples
Everyone else - yourselves and your knitting

I'll buy the rest of the ingredients and let you know what you owe me - won't be much I reckon.

I'll send out a pm of my address in a bit.

 

[Pieface]

PMs sent out but:

MsT - your pms are off
choc, innit, gaijingirl - your boxes are full!!!!

I'm saying 7-7:30 at mine - I live Loughborough Junction area.

 

[Ms T]

How can my PMs be off?

Are there any mods around?

 

[Dubversion]

You Rang?

 

[gaijingirl]

Sorry... I have a nice clean box now!

 

[Ms T]

Very funny.

The ed says my PMs are fine so could you try to send it again, Mrs Pie.

 

[Pieface]

ok - just innit and choc now - Gaijingirl - I've pmed Dimples and she said she was coming last week but I know she lives a long way out - is the lady still up for it as far as you know?

Also - Blue Nun? Are we having a Blue Nun?

 

[RubyToogood]

We should bring food and stuff as per normal, right? I will try and bring something yummy.

 

[Choc]

yay, i will come too

my box is cleared now, but i might not see pm anymore as no internet...i will ring eme later for the adress. plus i have been there before right? *makes mental not to take some more phone no form you guys.*

(Not sure if Dimples is coming or not ... sorry! She did mention it in a PM to me earlier this week but without specifying if she will be there or not...)

 

[Choc]

gg could you pass me the pm on asap please.

thanks doll.

i really hope that blue nun and han will make it..

 

[Pieface]

<shifty mode>I've bought "the stuff" </shifty mode>

It came to £12.50 not including Toggles apples

Toggle - how much are your apples please?

So you all owe me about a quid or something - not bad really is it? And I'm going to make mullered wine - I love mullered wine.

Yay!

 

[Choc]

love [/I] mullered wine.

Yay!

mullered wine...yeaaaah!! i am just getting myself into the right drinking mood. plus it feels a bit cosy today ie christmasy (well almost) with weather etc..

Toggle - how much are your apples please?

Yay!

They will cost you a cup of tea when i get in. i'ts bloody freezing out and i'll be cold, i just know i will.

 

[innit]

Hooray!

Choc my dear I have the needles in my handbag right now, I know you are itching to be knitting.

I ordered some more colinette to finish off a rather strange gift for my sister but the colours are COMPLETELY different! I'll have to send it back with a sample so they can match it

I'm such a plum... I should have bought more while we were there. It's just not the same looking at it on the website. Hey eme, maybe you should design them a better website - their one looks ok, but they really need one which allows you to look at a BIG sample of what each colour looks like, knitted up or in the hank.

 

[Pieface]

mullered wine...yeaaaah!! i am just getting myself into the right drinking mood. plus it feels a bit cosy today ie christmasy (well almost) with weather etc..

I'm in the drinking mood - I'm so in the drinking mood.....

There'll be tea too.

This is cool

(I just told everyone at work and opinion is split roughly 50/50 on this - the men are just baffled.)

 

[pootle]

Ms Eye....

Have you mentioned the lack of things to chop on at Casa PootlePie? (other than Gervais' face, obviously)

 

[Pieface]

I have sent out for extras - Eme is bringing another chopping board.

Actually, if someone else can be arsed to bring another I think that will be enough.

Also - we have space to store bikes if any of you want to cycle??? Plenty space.

 

[Ms T]

Mullered wine....

 

[gaijingirl]

Best S&B ever! I really enjoyed myself. Haven't tried the chuckle or pickney yet but I'm sure they're great!

Thanks Eme for the jumper.... I went home and showed it to K who went all smiley, saying... "you can really see your boobies" (yes we live in the 50s apparently) - and he's not normally that enthusastic about what I wear!

PieEye... thanks so much for hosting it. Of course I forgot to take your Colinette pattern book.. but to be honest, I'm unlikely to get round to that jumper or anything else from it until next month as I'm too busy Christmas knitting!

Toggle and everyone else... thanks as usual for the tutoring!

I have this image in my head now, of K saying that to you

Shelley said she's sorry she didn't come to this (well, she didn't actually, but my social niceties are finer honed ) but she was too busy getting bladdered at the NbyNW drinks.

Thanks for everything PieEye -- I just realised that I forgot to give you your pound. Remind me when we next meet.

 

[Pieface]

"you can really see your boobies"

Oh that is brilliant

Thanks all for coming - I really enjoyed it and chutney is well easy to make! I may do it again sometime....

Are we meant to leave it for a bit before we eat it for it to mature or something??? (I think I have to get started on mine anyway as Dub opened the jar and used his finger to taste it when he got in. Probably has some sort of culture growing on it by now )

 

[DIMPLES1]

I had a great time too.

Big Thanks PieEye.

I started on the chutney when i got home, delish. And I've been working on the scarf!!

hehe - and after all our stringent health and safety too! thanks lady pie for making it feel like Christmas so early, and a bit like the brownie-pack-i-never-had!

GG - teehee.....
