I am writing this at 6.30 Friday evening. I don't feel like cooking (heating up) anything tonight. I asked Phyllis if I bought a pizza for dinner, would he eat some, and so I would buy a large.
He said no! Then he added, do you remember we were talking about HSP?
Yes.
And you've never had one?
No, I haven't.
Kosov is bringing HSP for our dinner.
If you don't know, HSP is Halal Snack Pack, and to me they sound delicious. Whatever animal is killed to make is, in Australia at least, killed humanely and butchered in the manner Moslems butcher meat.
I will add my opinion of HSP to this post once I've eaten one. Delicious and I could only eat half of it. There were chips/fries in it as well.

When mopping the floors of the bathrooms, toilet and kitchen, as I was mopping the toilet, which Phyllis uses, I noticed the floor was wet at the back of the toilet. A leak, I thought. I donned latex gloves and checked for leaks at the inlet pipe and the outlet seal. All dry.
Then I spotted this plastic container in the bathroom and I guessed he had been washing himself in the toilet and spilt some water.

I checked earlier today and all was dry, so I think my theory is correct. Or course cleaning in his toilet, bathroom and bedroom is his responsibility, but if I get the mop and bucket out, why not give his areas a mop over.
Kosov wants Phyllis to return with him to where he lives in Epping. I only know Epping because the train line used to he the Epping/Hurstbridge train line. Then Epping became South Morang and then it became Mernda with train line extensions. As Phyllis explained the complications, I said Kosov can stay one night here, as you know, and no $20 charge as he is bringing the HSP.
The week has disappeared and I can't say I did much. I have started on the spare room bookcase, which is a nightmare. In the bookcase I found this and I have no memory of it. I initially thought op shop (charity shop). I needed to guarantee to whoever receives it that it is complete without a missing piece, so I decided to make the puzzle up and it took half an hour. It was fun and quite easy. I think I might give it to some of the kiddies before Christmas. Nah, I can't as that would be favouring one lot over another. I'll work something out.

HSP is new to me. I suspect himself would love them.
ReplyDeleteJigsaws? Not for me. I really, really need to clean out the bookcases though. All of them.
EC, I've spent a couple of distracted hours on the book case and there is so little I want to get rid of. The space is there, so the books and the rest will be kept.
DeleteI am trying to work out how someone can wash themselves in a toilet. Isn't it easier to just stand under a shower?
ReplyDeleteThe HSP is obviously man-food. Too much fat for me!
To put it bluntly JayCee, I think one would take the bowl full of water to the toilet and then while standing over or sitting upon, give yourself a wash with water.
DeleteYou live an interesting live. :) Hugs, my dear, and best wishes.
ReplyDeleteDarla, I think my life is quite boring. I make the best of it.
DeleteI meant 'life'. ~dirp~ Heh...
ReplyDeleteWhat have you started on the spare room bookcase? Building it or filling it with books? I could do the latter easily :)
ReplyDeleteHels, I am sure you could fill multiple bookcases. When the carpet was laid about a month ago, the books were just taken out and shoved back in, in any old way. Twenty two years of fiddling with books in the bookcase to make it look good and ordered, gone in a flash.
DeleteIn my uni days, I used to take hurtsbridge line to Epping shopping centre.
ReplyDeleteRoentare, called Epping Plaza, I think. I've hear of it.
DeleteConfused......washing in the toilet? Marie, Cheltenham
ReplyDeleteMarie, at my former workplace, i remember some Middle Eastern men taking a bottle of water to the toilet to wash themselves after toilet use. I think that is what this was about.
DeleteMarie asked the question that I couldn't bring myself to ask. Make the pictures in my head stop.
ReplyDeleteDebby, see my reply to the comment above. The end result is cleanliness, even if there is water spilt onto the floor.
DeleteWashing himself in the toilet. Is that sanitary? I guess if you flush it thoroughly before hand.
ReplyDeleteKirk, I think it is all very clean, aside from some clean water being spilt on the floor.
DeleteBuy more jigsaws so all the kiddies can get one at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWhat else was in the HSP besides meat?
I think I have other things that I can give to the kiddies, but of course I could buy some more.
DeleteHSP=lamb cooked on a gyro? A vertical rotisserie. Chips, cheese, yoghurt and a mysterious spicy red sauce.
Ah! I remember seeing vertical rotisseries at the markets, several at a time with different meats on each, lamb, beef, chicken and the men would slice the meats with electric knives from top to bottom to fill the flat bread you'd ordered along with other things such as tomatoes or lettuce. Rolled and wrapped and called a kebab, they were delicious. I usually had a chicken one while the "man of the house" had all the different meats together.
DeleteBack in those days these wouldn't have been Halal, just regular meats with most of the stalls run by Greeks. Halal simply refers to the butchering method.
DeleteLooked up HSP as I've never heard of it. It's an Australian Halal thing!
ReplyDeleteInteresting re toilet, mind boggles!
As River says about the jigsaws.
Margaret, I expect you could find an HSP in your city. Maybe???
DeleteLife is nothing if not entertaining in your world.
ReplyDeleteI love jigsaws.
JB, it certainly is at the moment. I still have plenty of time to do my own thing.
DeleteYou could give that puzzle to one lot of kiddies and buy another for the others! Then it would all be fair.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of an HSP. We probably have them here but I haven't crossed paths with one!
Steve, there are actually three lots of kiddies. I think I have stuffs for all.
DeleteSo, no HSP means you don't visit areas where there are Arabic men who would so like to have a connection with white men!!!
I suppose we have HSP here too but under another name ! Usually it's really very good ! It's something different as always a Pizza !
ReplyDeleteGattina, keeping in mind you were married to Italian, what kind of pizza do you like? What toppings?
DeleteI am also in the Never Heard of HSP Club; I ay have to take a look around as I am always up to try something new.
ReplyDeleteIf you find HSP Bob, do give it a go and watch the pounds add to your bulk.
DeleteSounds like a busy week.
ReplyDeleteTP, at least no medical appointments.
DeleteI have never seen Halal Snack Pack (HSP) on any menu in England. HSP sounds like it might be a sexually transmitted disease or a treatment for one!
ReplyDeleteYP, Herpes Simplex Pustules.
DeleteHSP sounds delish. Jigsaws are not my bag unless it's a social event with others but I find my attention straying even then.
ReplyDeleteI look around my semi office and it's like a bomb hit it. I need to get cracking on it.

WWW, HSP, very naughty but very nice. I tackled a very large large a few years ago and it took over the dining table. After about a month, we were having visitors, so it was arbitrarily dismantled.
DeleteHSP sounds like nachos by another name.
ReplyDeleteStrayer, it looks a bit like nachos but tastes nothing like them. The flavours are complex.
DeleteI'd give that HSP a try. I'm not sure where to get them here but I'm sure they must be around, Andrew.
ReplyDeletePat, much nicer than your national dish. An area where Moslems or Middle Eastern people live, or near universities where they would study might be where to find them.
DeleteIf the HSP is always lamb there is no way I would try it. I HATE lamb.
ReplyDeleteRiver, that seems so unAustralian. But I can understand why some people don't like it. It has a certain smell.
DeleteHSP sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt was Diane and I liked it rather too much. It is not what I would call a healthy meal.
DeleteGotta love an HSP!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of Muslims in my area so it's easy to come by a snack pack
Glad you like HSP, Kylie.
