    @Nathan i’m still keeping the mcspicy, because despite infinite respect for the deep fried mars bar, i haven’t had one in years and i would miss my regular mcspicy too much.

    @independent_ oh i have zero April fools stories. I'm so boring for april fools 😂

    That soap prank sounds so good 😂

  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,206 An Original Mixlorian

    @eylah me either. I’m so in need of a good sleep, my alarm went off this morning and i struggled to wake up, I didn’t go down for coffee until 10.30 which is late as fuck for me. But i feel like since the clocks went forward my day has been a bit messed up. I’ll get used to it though eventually

    @eylah same here. it sucks so much wanting to sleep but not being able to. Is there anything that usually helps you to sleep?

  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,206 An Original Mixlorian

    @Nathan the soap prank would have been good, but I was like 12 and at that point i showered at night. My sister, forgetting this, painted the soap the night before and when I went in the shower i was moaning that the soap wasn’t working. My mum didn’t believe me until the next morning when she tried it herself 🤣 she flat out didn’t believe me and thought i was just being lazy and not using soap. We tell this story every year now, I can’t wait to remind them all of it tomorrow.

    @independent_ ooh, i'm curious, is there anything that beats the mcspicy for you?

  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,206 An Original Mixlorian

    Hmm. That is a hard one. Chilli cheese bites maybe. And a good, home made macaroni cheese. My mum is making macaroni cheese tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it an unreasonable amount.

    @independent_ there's no such thing as an unreasonable amount of looking forward for macaroni cheese 😂

  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 10,206 An Original Mixlorian

    No word of a lie i didn’t want a party for my 21st, I just wanted macaroni cheese 🤣 and every birthday since i have either made a special request for macaroni at home or I’ve gone somewhere that sells it so i could order it when out lol

    @independent_ omg, i did the same with birds cobs on my 21st too (not actual birds, the bakery company birds 😂) and elephants foots (not an actual elephants foots, but a massive chocolate cream puff pastry). And also with KFC and some call of duty for my graduation.

    @Nathan it’s about the simple pleasures in life isn’t it! I had always thought I would want a party but when the time came round i was genuinely happy to just eat macaroni and a big slice of cake. Gonna have to google birds cobs though.

    Edit: omg just googled, i now want these!

    @independent_ they are literally amazing. It really is the simple stuff. I guess it's expected for people to want parties and things like that, but sometimes, it's literally just macaroni cheese and birds cobs people want 😂

    im hungry now.

    Nothing better than good food!

    We have some family coming at the weekend and we’ve got loads of good stuff in for them, we’re doing a big lasagne on friday and we’ve got all the ingredients for a fry up as well. They are bringing their dogs and I can’t wait to just enjoy good food and take 3 crazy labradors for walks all weekend!

    I don’t mind packet noodles now and then myself, super noodles always though and always the chicken flavour. I’ve had a few packs in the cupboard for months though bc i hardly eat them now, they remind me of when i was on study leave doing my exams at school bc they were all i ate at the time lol

    @eylah oh, those chicken ones are amazing. Literally the best ones.

  • eylaheylah Posts: 10,939 An Original Mixlorian

    yeah not enough sachet of chicken though. so still watery.

    I always cook mine for longer than it says tho bc i don’t like them all watery, the ones I get you can microwave so i put boiling water in them and microwave them for 6 long minutes 🤣 bc it gets rid of most of the water that way.

    But i once tried to microwave them without any water at all, yes my brain was fucked, and yes they were ruined.

    @eylah this might be a bit of a stretch, but once the noodles are done, whenever i did them too watery in the saucepan, i'd remove the noodles, leave the watery sauce in the pan, and keep it on low, so some water could evaporate from it, and it became less watery. It's a bit of a stretch but it's a bit of a technique i worked out for too watery noodles.

    @independent_ i don't know how, but a family member once managed to turn a packet of noodles black 😂
