What are you doing right now

[jillar]

Tripping out because I just read that my old pulmonologist died March 18. Don't know how but the obit said untimely death so it wasn't expected. He was a nice, caring man, I really liked him as a person.

@notsmokinjo comes in and out.  A worrisome thing these days, for sure.

Right now I am eating a Vegemite crumpet and drinking a coffee while I prep myself to go to work. 

 

Just wondering if our European origins down here are why everyone is struggling so much with following stage 3 isolation rules....kinda feel defiance of authority may be culturally hardwired into us.

Got to love me a crumpet .....mind you ..I gotta love most food !!!

And now I am craving poached eggs.

What the hell is a crumpet?!

[notsmokinjo]

Wtf? You mob don't have crumpets? They are things with holes on the top you put in the toaster and when you butter them and put on the spread (golden syrup or Vegemite or runny egg yokes are best) it melts into the holes. They are very different to english muffins.

[jillar]

I'm pretty sure we only have English muffins, no crumpets. But they look one and the same to me. What makes them not?

[Irene]

Pancake type of thing?

[jillar]

Well shoot, I got nothing to do and a whole bunch of edibles in my fridge so.........

Since I am on this diet thing, I have gone back to a very thin mix of buckwheat pancakes with different fruits and yoghurt, I tried putting the fruit on top while it was cooking to warm the bits of fruit up,  but it didn't work.  I would love a crumpet with lashings of butter melting into the holes, and piping hot.  

[notsmokinjo]

Struggling to explain the difference between an English muffin and a crumpet....um yeah-nah a crumpet is a crumpet....a crumpett is frucking awesome and an English muffin is craptastic....an English muffin is like a flat, denses, stale roll that you have to cut in half and toast...a crumpet is a golden disc (or square) of holy goodness...maybe it's like a cross between a pancake and a roll....it's kinda spongey I spose... It's bought 2/3 inch thick....it's more about how the stuff you put on it melts into the holes and sort of oozes out when you take a bite.

Well I'm not sure how a carpet got in the mix but I'm certain that an English muffin tastes way better than a piece of carpet. Even if said carpet is brand new and has never been walked on

I use wholemeal flour for mine and put Rae berries in the batter. The berries cook with the pancake and turn into little jammy pockets of yum. Blueberries work best.

 

My dad puts banana in his when he cooks them.

I'm in the US and do like some English muffins but definitely agree that crumpets are a whole different world of deliciousness.  Now I'm getting hungry and would really like one right now (hold the carpet, though).

There's a joke about "carpet munching" to be made here.

 

What am I doing right now: innocently walking away from an opportunity to make a dirty joke.

[BAT]

He ^^^^^^ said carpet munching
