Got to get this off my chest!! A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a packet mix from Aldi for making Easter Egg (shape) cookies with the cookie cutter and the icing thingys in it too! Thought I was quite smart - will cut down on the chocolate consumption at Easter, will make them on Easter Sunday (today) for mornos!
No such luck - hubby (bless his cotton socks that I just blew off!) had an omlette for dinner last night and used up all the eggs - there were 4 left, and I only needed one. SO, no Easter cookies - what's the alternative? Easter eggs and undoing all my hard work in loosing the weight I have recently lost - BOTHER!!!! (or words to that effect)
Anyway, have a very Happy Easter everyone, and enjoy the spoils of the season - I will, and I can start walking again tomorrow - OK, a full day of lawn bowls.

I avoided eggs of all varieties today. This tale makes me wonder why people living in the same house, using the same fridge, sharing the same food, can't communicate. Yes I live alone, just to clear that up. If I was cooking I'd ask the other person if I could use all the milk, eggs, bread, etc wondering if we were going to buy more, or if they were required later. I'd never use the last of anything if I didn't know if there were more in the house/caravan somewhere. Maybe I've been single too long, or, they've been together too long and still don't know how their household works.

CG We've been on our own too long but I do see how it happens. In any household where there is more than one person living there will always be times when one decides to have something out of the fridge without asking if someone else needs it. You only have to watch teenagers who go to the fridge and upend the bottle of milk straight to their mouth without thinking someone else has to drink some of that after they have had their mouths on it. It happens all the time. Maybe I watch too much TV. lol

Have you ever tried a substitute for egg in the recipe, for example mashed banana?

Yep Johnq I have tried the egg substitute, and yes GC we do communicate, but Saturday had been a particularly l-o-n-g day at bowls and I was absolutely done in, so it was a case of 'anything goes' (usually Sunday nights) and I had a 'left over dinner' from the freezer and hubby decided on the omlette - I guess it was my fault as I forgot (happens quite regularly - have you ever forgotten to take the shopping list with you when you go shopping?) to get more eggs. But I did enjoy a couple of little chocolate eggs yesterday - yumm!! Off to bowls again today, it's a glorious day here on Bribie Is. Qld.

I have not only forget the list Pejay but I have gone as far as got all the goodies in the trolley and for some reason felt for my wallet before getting to the register and found out stupid me has left wallet at home, AGAIN. Thank goodness I am only 5 mins from the shop, leave trolley next to a rack, a quick dash home and back, no one knows the difference, just me. Another Senior moment.

Pejay,
The egg substitute was a helpful suggestion only. Perhaps more know about it than I thought. Can I add that I wasn't telling you how to suck eggs.
No chocs for me this year. While I might enjoy chocolate as an occasional treat I have never bought it except for women.

No easter eggs for me this year either, did have some hot cross buns though.
Cruising Granny said
10:13 PM Apr 9, 2012
I couldn't even find an appetising looking hot cross bun to sink my dentures into. Bugger!!! Anyway, they'll be cheaper this week so I'll see if I can find some then.
Now about this missing wallet, that's where a "man bag" would be handy Doug. I don't know about the other girls, but I can just grab my handbag knowing everything I need is in there. I have to admit I don't have a partner or teenage kids around. I have found an empty purse in the days before ATM's. I went shopping and my bloke went to the pub. The kids just went out. Now that made me cranky! Really @##@ cranky!

"Man Bag" Ha Ha Ha, no way not at all never never never ever. My Step Daughter was going to get me one and I told her the same thing the same way.
Just quietly though, sometimes I do use one of those green bags, that way it looks like I am looking after the environment. Maybe that's a cheats "Man Bag".

Man bag? What man bag? Many years ago when we went to America, I could not work out why I had a sore shoulder, weighed my handbag at LA airport - had my answer, quite a lot of the 'stuff' in it was either my 10 yr old daughters or my husbands!!! Got rid of the husband!!! The daughter at the moment is not much better!!!! Think Pete (#2 hubby) might have to run away again ie. hit the road again!

Nothing wrong with a "manbag" Dougwe - some of the manliest men I know use them. Women should encourage their man to use one - that way you don't get your handbag weighed down with wallets, phones, keys, etc, etc.

It could be disguised as a small back pack. Some use the b u m bag belt thing which works well for some. I just don't know how you blokes keep your pants up when you have those fat wallets hanging in the bum pocket. Maybe I need to find a bloke with a really heavy wallet. Nah!
Dougwe said

I never had a fat wallet Chrissy, the other half was always emptying it.
Cruising Granny said
12:25 AM Apr 11, 2012
Well, you should have kept your pants up before the wallet was empty. So how does that attraction begin, and end? We meet 'em, we see something special in 'em, put the beer or wine gogles on, and mentally undress 'em, and then before you know it, "You're in love." Where does it go wrong?

The catwalk presentations -the models and the bag designs and colours- really do set the man bag apart as tres gay. The designers' preferences in life?
A fair test might be to list what a carrier might have to put in his little over shoulder fashion statement. Maybe the girl friend might start to wonder about that lip balm, diary, tissues and paraphernalia. Then again she probably is carrying a wallet.

hum..... little bit of gender bias showing?
Most women carry a wallet of some kind, either in a bag, pocket or just in the hand.
"Real" men don't......
Lots of men use "cosmetics" and lots carry bags.

It was a lighthearted post.
However I am not convinced that lots of men use cosmetics and carry man bags.

I dont use cosmetics either unless you consider zinc cream on my nose cosmetic after all it probably improves my "look"

The only colour for a manbag is black in my opinion - as all us girls know, black goes with anything!!!!!
Rip and Rosie said
04:53 PM Apr 13, 2012
I agree, basic black goes with anything.
I also once worked with a woman who was in an inter-racial marriage and she reckoned "once you try black you never go back" - not sure if she meant her bag or shoes or something else.
