Emma is a vegetarian. I am not. Having snacked her way to completing her PhD thesis, Emma is now on the Food Doctor diet. Though I am not, I am enjoying most of the FD’s meal suggestions.
Today, Emma plumped for a healthy lunch. I did not.
As I stood in the kitchen, pouring a drink, a nightingale sang:
Emma: (calling) That is pathetic!
Shane: (calling) What?
Emma: (calling) You have constructed a ham roof for your chips!
Returning, I met Emma’s eye.
Shane: The roof is in your best interests.
Emma: (pause) I suppose you think that’s funny.
Shane: Now, don’t let the ham come between us… my love.
Emma: (a sort of harrumphing snort noise)
See, when Emma said that I had to support her with the diet, I listened.
Go me!

i can't see the photo .. and i feel like i am missing out
Really, you are not missing out. In fact, it is your good fortune that you don't get to see an image that evidences such gross culinary indecency.
I think it only fair that you should at least try to support your partner in her culinary choices. If I have to give up meat every time I go and visit the vegan Ruf, surely you can manage to snarf ham in secret?
There is much scientific evidence to prove that diets don't work but sensible eating habits do.
I think chips are sensible.
Chips are sensible only if they lack salt, football cleats and good sense. Sort of a no-chip chip.
As a Lancashire lass I was given a chip pan for a wedding present. I think it must have been the sixties when it was banished and my poor deprived children never had chips made by me.
Listen to Hoss he is old and wise - like me - but not as much.
BTW that ham is exceedingly pink!
I feel chastened. Tonight, we ate puy lentils and stir-fried mixed vegetables. But, that said, Z has a point - they were sensible chips.
Cake - 'Try to support your partner'... if only you knew...
Z - yes to that, and that.
Hoss - 'cleat' - that is not on my list of Familiar Words. It's late, and you're testing me. Och!
Pi - I wonder whether your Lancashire Lassness has faded. I imagine it has. In retrospect, the ham is rather pink. Sh**!
Faded? Moi? How very dare you!
