I wanted a burger, but I don't have any rolls. I'm considering a burger in bread but it gets too soggy. Ideas?

Is this a fresh minced meat burger, if so you could reshape the meat into blobs and put it on skewer with bits of anything else youve got to hand, bits of tomato, pepper, onion and grill it like that. not technically a burger and yet still made of burger

Nah, it's just a bog-standard frozen supermarket burger... not to worry. I might have a baked potato instead. Or toasties.

Oooh, Dante, we call those Welfare burgers around here. And it is a prerequisite that they are very greasy, so as to properly soak through the bread. And you'll know it's greasy enough if you get a spot on your shirt from it. If no grease falls, then you've failed in making a proper Welfare burger.

Try toffee toasties - but the cleaning, the cleaning!

Toast the bread, then it won't be soggy.

Dinner - that would require food, right ? Must phone Gary tomorrow and arrange to go shopping late in the evening, when it's cool. Didn't phone tonight cos there was stuff on telly I wanted to watch.
Had boiled new potatoes with lots of butter, and some cherries afterwards. Not awfully filling but never mind; I'm getting closer to being able to fit into the size 12 (UK) trousers I could wear a couple of years ago. I'm not really dieting on purpose, but I don't want to eat much, or go shopping when it's hot.

Heh. I didn't have a welfare burger in the end, I had toasted cheese and tomatoes.

Tonight I'm having chicken and pasta, a proper meal! Yum...

I have no tea tonight. :( It's all part of the diet regime...

Absolutely. They've outlawed chocolate and chips throughout the land and are imposing a law of salad and fruit on everyone.

No, I shouldn't think so. There'll be a public uprising any day now.

Just as soon as we can get up from dinner and all those filling things have gone down properly.

OK so the icon on your site is a fairy, and we have your sig - but then there's the dieting. Can we take it you are not svelte as the average fairy? What's the connection? Lol.

You can look lovely without being a fairy, PSD ---

I look quite a bit like my fairy actually, only not quite so svelte. I'm a tad cuddlier.

The diet has more to do with my level of fitness than my waistline actually. I've got to go climbing over hills for a week October 3rd and I'm trying to get a little fitter so I don't collapse rather like I did when I climbed the Malverns last month. Always a good idea.

As for what I really look like... bear with me on that one.

The site belongs not to me but a friend of mine called Leila who is currently trekking across Greenland and sleeping in tents. Some geology thing. She says it's fun, but it sounds like hell to me. Anyway, Lei's commentary should explain the picture for you...

I thought 'Hmm, the one in blue? Looks a bit boyish...' before it was made clear. Hmm, looked pretty svelte from that angle....
