You know what the problem here is? Jim has no sense of hummus...

It was Tommy's answer to the mouldy hummus at the back of the fridge!

Thank you Fiona, as always, for making my morning so much brighter with your fabulous humor!! :))

It's a wonderful way to laugh away the grey, and snowy weather.

Superb! If it wasn't for our lilliputian freezer I'd probably be tempted to do the same thing, and get a similar response, but in my case it'd be a casual reminder of the mushroom lasagne fiasco.

Thanks Izzy, glad you enjoyed! I too have had lasagne fiascos. Too much sloppy sauce, pasta sheets raw and inedible. And naturally, always remembered x

This made me howl with laughter. I haven’t been so thrilled by a piece of writing since the famous Facebook slow cooker thread...

Great post! Am already wondering how long those chickpeas will stay in your freezer for. 😂

It reminded me of when I attempted one of Jamie Oliver’s curry recipes with chickpeas... I hadn’t read the recipe through beforehand and halfway through the text it said ‘simmer for 50 mins’!

Noooooo Jamie, I’m hungry now! 😂

We didn’t eat until about 10pm, but the kids did say it was better than takeaway! 😃👏👍

There such be a prominent warning right at the start, about lengthy prep/simmering times! I remember finally eating an Ottolenghi recipe at midnight, while crying
