My Sprouts Aren't Going To Be Ready :-(

[EcclesCake]

I put them on at the end of September and thought they'd be ready in time, what am I going to do?

[flump1]

PANIC .................You'll be sproutless.

[sherrardk]

Well, you've obviously completely ruined Christmas!

[MargoTester]

Same here I'm going to finish the off in the microwave!

[guilliebrougues]

Ask Santa to bring you some.

[Baldric]

Turn them up a bit!

[Bathsheba]

try adding a pinch of bicarb soda to cooking water...that's what my exMIL did with any green veg....guaranteed to turn them flabby + inedible....;)

[gness]

At least you have sprouts, Eccles.....I am unexpectedly at home for Christmas and the town was sproutless today......

I am fashioning some from felt....x

[jackthehat]

Ply yourself and your guests with enough 'Christmas cheer' and you might just get away with it.......:o)

My mum really likes sprouts, my dad really doesn't and he is OIC Christmas Dinner as it is also Mum's birthday.......so she has 'treated' herself to a tin...yes, a tin, of Sprouts.........:o/

[shoota]

I have a sprout you can have - but it may be a little 'al dente'....

[EcclesCake]

Tinned sprouts?????? I had not idea such a thing existed, just the thought makes me want to hurl!

I'm off to weep inconsolably in a corner knowing that I have ruined Christmas :-(

[gness]

Thank you, Shoota.....that will be fine...and we can share it...x

[Samuraisan]

Go to the supermarket

[ummmm]

If you can be bothered to drive into N'pton town you can have all the sprouts that we're not going to eat.

[EcclesCake]

That is very kind Ummmm but they won't be ready to eat until Easter if I put them on tonight and the rest of the meal will go cold.

[gness]

Thanks, Ummmm....but I am finishing off all the part full bottles of wine visitors have left over the past few days.....I'm happy...and to be honest... felt sprouts won't be much different from my usual offerings.....☺

[jackthehat]

There may be some tinned Sprouts leftover in Blackpool, if you are game......LoL

[EcclesCake]

JTH - stop mentioning tinned sprouts.....please......

[Clanad]

Not to fear! As with every other thing in life, there's always next year! Maybe even for an even earlier holiday, if you have one in say July... cheers... and remember there's difference between keeping one's chin up and leading with your chin!

Merry Christmas from the "lower 48"!

[ummmm]

Well we're just about to go shopping for MIL's xmas present. I will look for tinned sprouts while we're out :-)

[ummmm]

Tinned sprouts...

(had to be said :-))
