Have the oven on for baked oats. Never had them before but have been advised they're like eating dessert from breakfast which is definitely something I can get on board with.

So AH, what are ye eatin'?

You're making me feel old. I was about 30 when Sodastreams came out here. I still considered them a luxury as we struggled to raise a family at the time.

Same here tbh ,dilutable orange was our drink so ice cream OR a fizzy mineral was a treat !
Both together was pure enjoyment

Rose s Lime Juice and Ribena and lemon barley water . Does anyone remember the powdered orange crystals in tins?

Oh and the utterly lovely real orange juice we war babies were given from the first clinics of the NHS...

Tupperware? We had never heard of that, or eg plastic washing up bowls.
There was no domestic plastic at all, Wirelesses were made of bakelite .
All was enamel ware and biscuit tins. Biscuits and eg sugar were weighed up int he grocers and sold in thick blue paper bags.... Metal bread bins with lids.

" ah yes, I remember it well.."

Ah Stefan Easy Skull, I'm about to hit my late 40s soon and I feel old too. But like yourself I'm old enough to remember the Sodastream being one posh device. The memories of that friends house will stay with me forever. I must have looked like a right little pitiful eejit begging for a drink out of the Sodastream.

I still use a sodastream ?!!! Is that odd 😳

We never had fizzy drinks but we used to make "Rise and Shine" orange juice some Saturday nights,it was a sachet of powder and you'd just mix it in a jug with water on Saturday night for a treat the next morning.

We got crisps and a bar on a Friday , sweet night , friend down the road her parents owned a shop, house full of sugary treats so I can understand your sodastream thirst

I actually hate carbonated drinks.
I used to make Water Kefir(probiotic fermented drink) a few years ago, but gave up on it because of the bubbles;)

Not odd, but real retro. Fair play.

My Friday night treat was Lilt and a Jam Doughnut from the very earliest incarnation of Tesco's in Ireland. It was Gubays! Late 70s. Cheap. A latter day Aldi/Lidl. Great memories here tonight.

Remember those Ribs from earlier?

Posh? We were far from it.:D Gubays was cheaper than Dunnes and Quinnsworth. The Jam Doughnuts were once a week. We can do it everyday now,:D

Cadburys Oreo peanut butter flavour chocolate. The ladies of the house don't like it. Bought on a market earlier this week. Two weeks out of date. There's posh for you.:D Finishing a beer.

We didn't have a Dunne Stores then . Now one Dunnes is in the same unit in town here as Gubays was all those years ago , odd but true!

Lol , was joking about being posh , chocolate is always good , dates are only a selling tactic

We had a soda stream. I think we got it from my granny. I was very young but I do remember it didn't last long. Did you have to replace the bottles or something?

Do you remember the cans of concentrated juice. One can of juice topped up with 5 cans of water. Once every two weeks or so. And a huge treat would be my dad bringing home one bag of chips between four of us after Saturday evening mass. It was rare and myself and sister would be lying in bed listening for him coming in the door, wiling him to call up "are ye awake girls". We knew then it was chip time!

How times have changed! We're blessed now, nothing like the need we grew up with. In saying that, I often think how my little fella is going to be deprived of the excitement something simple like a bag of salty chips can bring.

Chinese takeaway for dinner. Tofu in black bean and green pepper sauce for me, house special Thai red for husband. I still have half mine left for tomorrow. I reckon there'll be two beggermen when I reheat it.

I had a Fishermans Pie earlier and having a cold beer now

I got a Soda Stream for Xmas one year. Only problem was it was the 80s and nobody had money for the fecking refils for them so they sat like an ornament in the kitchen tormenting you :pac:
Our Friday night treat was King crisps at 12p a packet

Surreptitious

My next door neighbours had a soda stream and I was obsessed with it. I also remember the sachets of powder you mixed with water to make drinks from

You could get ones in the local sweet shop then that were sold separately that were like bitter cola bottles only orange flavour. I used to love going out with my dad cos he always got chipper chips that were half raw and pasty but so tasty! It was a real treat at the time. We always got them from the chip vans that would probably be shut down now straight off.
Oh and I'm craving ribs

And another treat was going to the corner pub to get 10p crisps. The salt and vinegar were really flavoursome back then. I remember the picture of the
bottle of vinegar on the packet.

Surreptitious

Another thing was the tupperware parties one of my friend's mam used to host then she started doing cosmetics and they were trying to get me to wear make up and I was about 11! In all fairness like and very few people wore a lot of make up back then.
On topic I had a few doughnuts. Very hungry today for some strange reason.
