Lovely morning chit-chat October 2025

Ellie, that was a nice touch, your daughter coming to you on the anniversary of her dad's passing. Good company for you too on such a day.

It was, I was a little down, and my son has just gone, so a happy bunny.

Thanks TV Man 

I have heard of them but not used them personally. No harm to explore what they can provid for you. Keep us updated!

Ellie Sorry about the anniversary of your husband. Glad your daughter and son are both with you on this day.

Patrick Glad you are having a leisurely day at the beach. You never know, could be going to Thailand again next year. Why not? 

How are you doing TVman? 

Hi Stella, I'm not bad, I've been taking 2 prochlorperazine tablets twice a day since Sunday morning and no trouble at all. Long may it continue Stella. I've an appointment with my GP on Tuesday morning and I'll see what she says. I wouldn't be enthusiastic about reducing the frequency in case I have another episode.

Thanks for your concern Stella, much appreciated

I am so glad that you had company on a difficult day Ellie.  Tvman long may the tablets continue to keep the dizzy spells away.  Hope you are enjoying your holiday Patrick.  Stella what was your beef shortrib like, I am not sure if I have ever eaten it.

Hi Lee 2

Beef short ribs are really delicious and easy to cook and eat. Best to get the meat from a good butcher. There are many recipes. They all fairly straightforward just requires slow cooking for a few hours. It goes well with mashed potatoes. 

Making pork ribs/ lotus root soup. This is very Chinese, just try to increase my fluid intake really. 

Flowers For the weekend coming. Have a restful few days ahead everyone x

Your flowers are so beautiful Stella.  We have a good butcher just down the street.  Pork ribs/lotus root soup sounds intriguing where do you get lotus root from, is it dried?  We should start a recipe thread on here.

 Leelaloo  a recipe thread is a good idea. I made a pumpkin pie this week. I have never had pumpkin before, and just wanted to try it! It was delicious, but very sweet I could only have a small piece. 

Hi Chelle, I'm no cook and lazy as well but I do a good pumpkin soup. Will post the recipe in the new thread?

Morning,  I hope everyone is okay, it is very quiet on here.  I am still in bed being lazy.  Going to get up and go shopping.  Retail therapy is needed I think.  Does anyone think a recipe thread would be a good idea.  Stella you always seem to be cooking some lovely sounding dishes.  Hope everyone has a good day x
