panacotta

I don’t think I need to tell you all that it’s exceedingly hot, as large parts of the country are ripped in a fiery heat wave that’s exacerbated by the awful drought. When it’s hot as it is now, my mind wanders far away from the savoury stuff that usually makes my mouth water. I want something cool. I want something fresh and light, with a bit of citrusy zing.

Right now, I’d stab me own mum for a Panacotta. Tropical fruit, with one of the most delicate desserts (essentially just a set cream) infused with lime, and served with a tangy granita? Yeah, can I have a bath of the stuff, please?

In Other News – 343 aware of Halo5 issues, Life gets stranger, More plants take on more zombies and a live action Battlefront trailer.

Here’s the news we didn’t post because we were too busy wondering how mops procreate.

      That is what playing FPS with a controller feels like to pc gamers.

        That was at least semi-enjoyable. The only other car movies (now more heist/action that car) would be Fast&Furious…but how many action movies do we see every year? Too many.

          Tom Hardy did his part very well. combined I think Batman is in the movie for maybe 10 minutes on screen? As far as trilogies go. You can do a lot worse. Nolan knows what he’s doing

            Tom Hardy played the “new” Batman villain very well. 😉 That was not Bane.
            But I agree. There are worse trilogies.

            It wasn’t Bane, but it was a very well thought out version

    “Right now, I’d stab me own mum for a Panacotta.”

    You know, usually the internet will try and twist some innocent statement into something sexual or funny or weird….

    I tried to do that with your statement Geoff, but even if I “misconstrued” it, it still wasn’t as bad as your original statement.

    Congrats Geoffrey, today you won the internet at their own game.

        Yeah no, I was thinking more along the line of stab, “steek”, having intercourse with his own mum.
