Have you ever tried something called....

Like the date I had when she suddenly remembered it was her wedding day

 

Thats awful
Maybe I have been lucky then in some ways.

 

One Girlfriend didn't turn up for a date, went round her flat only to find she'd moved out

 

I guess it goes to show there is always someone worse off than you !
That word was 'forgetfulness' by the way. I was thinking of abneesia at first.

 

Met her on the high street sometime later, said you'm 3 years late

 

Its nice to talk to someone who has 'been there' , if you know what I mean.
So did you go where you were going ?

 

My mam used to peel mushrooms too. I have absolutely no idea why, and when I asked her a few years ago, she said it was just what she knew.

No need to peel their flavour off. Perhaps it is a relic from "pre-my-parent" days, when people would often forage their own food. A mushroom, being pretty much as close to the ground as it gets, might have been wee'ed on by dogs (although that would be the very least of my concerns with wild mushrooms which, if misidentified, WILL kill you of death). The dog wee thing comes from my dad teaching me about brambles and such. You don't take them from less than knee high, as knee high or below puts them in dog wee range.

 

Oh.................One of our favourite pastimes as kids was the peeing contest up the brambles round the back of the rec. With careful training and preparation a good five feet was possible!!!!!!!
We didn't eat bramble pie/crumble very much as kids!

 

You boys get all the fun!

Inspired by @Adendoll 's link, I have done a mushroom peeling 'how to'.
Thanks to @westwales for the brilliant technique.....very effective
I hope this is helpful.

Step 1. Acquire a mushroom !






Step 2 Snap off its stand/root/stem/stork.



Step 3. Put thumb in hole.



Step 4. Pinch skin and lift.



Happy days

 

Nowt wrong with that Shiney, apart from the taste that is!
