  • He's off to work at a meeting called (ominously) "by the State." Whatcha wanna bet they traced a COVID-19 patient to his work, and the whole place is shut down as contaminated?? I'll know in a couple hours.

    Please let us know.
  • Welp. I have no idea why this happened. Apparently they (whoever "they" is) showed up to tell everyone, "If you get a ticket for being out and about during the lock in, give them to us and we'll make them go away." And that's it.

    ???? !!!!!

    Mind you, their census is 6 clients at the moment, which is I think about 20% of normal. So things could all go south very quickly.
  • I buy cookies/biscuits rather than bake because the oppressive grocery-industrial complex will not allow me to buy fewer than 6 eggs. Since I don't eat plain cooked eggs <spleugh> that means I'm oppressed by wasting most of the eggs or I make a triple batch and oppress my friends and coworkers with biscuits/cookies.

    As a friend I would grin and bear that kind of oppression. :yum:

    Eat fancy cooked eggs then, and stop oppressing poultry farmers and their hens.

    Was the chicken that crossed the road an oppressed hen?

    Enquiring minds need to know.

    Speaking for myself, I could definitely cope with that particular sort of oppression. Do you need an address?

  • Could you not simply oppress your freezer with any spares?

    Though to my mind if you've got spare eggs you really ought to consider some or all of the following:
    Scones
    Pancakes
    Muffins
    Parkin
    Brownies
    Naan
    Spaghetti carbonara
    Peppermint creams
    Meringues
    Ice cream
    Chocolate mousse

    Alternatively I can give you a really simple recipe for biscuits without any egg in it. Or my amazing chocolate fruit cake tray bake recipe that keeps for ages.

    Fried or poached eggs on toast with a thin smear of Vegemite is a great restorer

    A restorer of one's love of Marmite? [shots fired]

    Given the significance of the evening, I shan't rise to the bait.

    You are free to like marmite. You may have no taste but you are free to like it.

    Only if it is salt-reduced Vegemite.

    But even the more common Vegemite beats Marmite by a country mile.

    NZ once had a similar spread called to marmite called "Pa Will. It was way before I was born, but I saw a jar at Te Papa, the National Museum.
  • Some of the tension of this pandemic time has just been relieved by the arrival from the UK of my annual supply of Marmite. I am sure I will now be a better person.
  • So pleased to find someone else with good taste @Stercus Tauri!

    Satan must have had his ears syringed.

    That's where it comes from, you know.

    It's not his ears...... Unless of course you were really meaning the anagram.

    No, no, I've always said marmite is Satan's earwax.
