Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

@Adge You need a couple of hens to go through your yard. They are deadly on snails 🙂

@Adge
If you weren't a pescetarian you could have had escargot for tea.

@Bunniekins@Adge Snails are officially classed as Gastropods, which means they're related to Abalone, Periwinkles and other similar shellfish. So I guess that means they're OK for pescetarians. 😄

We had Chinese Silky Bantams when I was growing up @Bunniekins They certainly love snail, & there would be no snail problem...

Yes @Former-Member We could make a large meal of escargot out of that lot...

I'm not very French in my quisine though.

Despite being shelled the common garden variety of snail is not water dwelling @Smc which I would say would preclude it from @Adge diet.

Highlight of weekend was I got 2 small packs of chilies on sale and have dried them in the dehydrator.

Hi @Shaz51

Hi @Smc Yes snails are gastropods, maybe taste a bit like mussels or oysters (I don't know, I haven't tried them).

I'm just not "culturally conditioned" to want to eat them (the idea makes me squeamish)...

@Adge I had the pleasure of eating snails in French class at school, they had been soaked in garlic so that's all I could taste, and they were very rubbery. I've always wondered what they taste like naturally
