Where has LL disappeared to?

[MadWorld74]

I ventured down to LL on Saturday just past, to partake in my usually enjoyable mornings worth of shopping, coffee and general pottering about.

I was alarmed to see just how MANY PEOPLE were in LL, in the pubs and shops, where have they all come from????

The sea of green Foxtons balloons and the plethora of Foxton's Mini Coopers added to my unrest.

People were trying so hard to be uber cool and laidback, crippled by their uber cool and laidback outfits, they were finding it hard to catch their breath. It was painful to watch.

Is it me or does LL seem to be disappearing so far up it's own a*se that it's in danger of being renamed 'Toenails Lane'...because that's all that's going to be left of it!?

Rant over.

Did you try a pensioner count?

[MadWorld74]

Couldn't see any for the trendies. I expect they stay away from LL on weekends.

Don't ask me, I'm so hip it hurts.

I bumped into Andrew from the forum and commented on the number of people - but whilst I agree that SOME of those people could do with a reality-check i will take a thriving, busy main drag over a tumbleweed ghost town any day of the week, any time of year any city and any lifetime

This place...

I didn?t notice to be honest. I was too busy sitting outside Black Cherry trying to look cool. ;-)

Ahh I was in sainsbury reading the calories on the back of the low fat hummous and wondering if I should not buy it after that docu about the salmonella and dirty factory workers, or sod it and buy it because I am addicted to Huumous? I went for the latter!

Only time you see me in lordship lane is to collect my contact lenses from Paine and Hunters, Powerpram it from one toddler group to another or look messy heading to the gym, but alas I am reclaiming back the street! I am dulwich born and bred and I am going to sit in the Bishop with my uggs and my messy hair, sipping my rose wine and moan to my friends about the outsiders coming to my turf....word!

[Jah Lush]

But darling Uggs are so last year, don't you know?

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

It is but I was never a slave to fashion, I mean look at all the crocs hunters in Dulwich, STILL wearing their crocs!! and I was on ebay and saw a real proper pair of sn'uggs for a bargain price and i thought "wicked, will keep me warm when i am powerpramming it up Lordship lane" I dont think my destroy wedge boots are ideal for the powerpramming!

Hmmm Maybe I will wear my stilettos to the Bishop instead!

[SeanMacGabhann]

have to say crocs = Uggs on the immediate "look away now"-ometor

And dahlink surely someone as switched on as yourself makes her own hummous? Better in every way from the stuff in any shop (large or small)

[Michael Palaeologus]

I myself purchased some low fat humus on Saturday. From Sainsburys.

[Jah Lush]

Oh God! Crocs are far worse than Uggs dahlink and they seem to be everywhere on Lordship Lane. How frightfully common. Oh! look away now! Go on look away now. Sadly, I bought a pair last year. I wore them twice. They are vile and hideously ugly and I looked ridiculous in them. :-$

[SeanMacGabhann]

And I'll tell you off next time I see you too MP!

[Michael Palaeologus]

WhatIdo, whatIdo??

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

I dont know exactly how many calories there is when I make it myself, I will be worrying if I put in one chickpea too many which means I cannot consume my allowance of calories via my daily wine....it is a complex thing calorie counting.

I like to eat the whole tub with four corn cakes and then consume the rest of my daily allowance with my rose wine...if I really want to push the boat out I have a salsa dip instead and TWO bottle of wine...less calories in the salsa dip you see!

As for the Uggs, i am not bothered, I know I will MAKE it look good!:))

Ohh gosh Take the shame, take the shame!! Least I didnt buy any crocs, and If I did I wouldnt wear them with socks either, instead I brought some boho indian slippers...the little boy I look after seems to like it, he keeps playing with the beadings, that is approval enough me thinks!

[Michael Palaeologus]

Pesky chick-peas.

[SeanMacGabhann]

it's chickpeas, garlic, lemon, olive oil and a bit of what you fancy (paprika or whatever) - how many calories can their be???? Actually, thinking about it what is the difference between lo-fat hummous and regular???

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Well regular has about 550 calories and low fat has 200 calories, so about 1 and a half glasses of wine or 4 gin and diet tonic is the difference!

[SeanMacGabhann]

gimme the ingredient list from that 550 cal version!

[Michael Palaeologus]

... and low fat doesnt taste as nice.

How many calories in guacamole? Made a load on Sunday. Scoffed it with chums.

Avocado, coriander, tomato, garlic, lime juice, lard

Perhaps I lied about the lard.

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Dunno stabilisers, starch, flavourings...the usual that goes in Hummous....except the low fat one doesnt have the flavourings:)) sorry....wine withdrawal.

Ohh I love guacamole, I have the low fat version of that also!

They tend to use double cream or something in the full fat ones as it is very creamy, but then these are not proper ways to make it, it is factory stuff so full fat, low fat not the same as making it yourself but alas...I have no time for that!

[Michael Palaeologus]

It takes minutes and no cream!

1 large Avocado

1 bunch of coriander

2 garlic cloves

1 de-seeded tomato - chopped

Juice of half a lime

Put in food processor and blitz.

Thats 3 recipes in one night.

I need to lie down.

How many calories in the whole thing?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Dont know. Some in the avocado - few in the other ingredients I guess.
