TWINKLE Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 I am a nice girl Ali,I think KKK was refering to the melons you eat, I'm always cooking you see and her husband loves my recipes. The poor thing doesn't eat much home cooking since she discovered this forum[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 No I was referring to your cleavage. And the reason I have not cooked for him for two weeks is because you are interupting me on the phone all the time. Hence I now choose not to answer it in case it is you and I tell everyone I have a fault on the line. Just off to peel some spuds..... er sorry melons.

Christine Animal Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 [quote user="TWINKLE"]I actually grew 10 of them successfully a few years ago.

chris pp Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The traditional method to test the type of Spanish melons that you are on about is to take a sharp pointed knife and cut a small cube or rectangular piece and remove it from the side, see if its OK. This is / was normal practise in rural Spanish markets but I doubt that it would go down too well in a supermarket!Charentaise, push the end where the stem was, if it gives and feels soft and smells, it's ripe.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Dick, should I have said "have you layed many lately", or "have you laid many lately" ? Or can you say both ?My English is getting rusty, please feel free to correct me if ever you see anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 'Laid' is correct, but either is sufficiently ambiguous to warrant a comment of 'Phnaar Phnaar!"(Courtesy Finbar Saunders and his Double Entendres) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Rennes Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hello Ali,How can it possibly work in Tesco's ? Their sell by dates are meaningless because they never have any fruit that is actually ripe when you buy it and neither will it ripen with the passage of time.(Neither do they have any red meat that is edible or daily baked bread that is properly cooked for that matter !)They bring a whole new meaning to the word 'green' !If Carlsberg made the worst supermarket in the world - it would be Tesco!
