It's okay guys. The prawns were NOT on the counter. They were defrosting in the fridge. The years are getting to me and I can't remember shit and now I can't find my glasses. God save me.

I'm always saying to myself, "If they're not on your face they're in the case" to get me to put them back in the case when not in use. Doesn't work, I'm often leaving them in some random place!

Lol it's definitely not how it works. I try to put them in the few usual spots but there's always the exception where I feel adventurous and try something else 😂

Now you can have prawns to celebrate!! Isn't it so good that it wasn't the other way around? What will you be making? 🍽

Yes true. Probs just a simple garlic chilli prawno.

I've always thought of prawns as a finicky, difficult dish but since starting to use frozen prawns I've realised how they can actually be simple enough

Depends on what you want to make I guess but seafood in general is pretty quick to cook and can be a really simple meal if you're not fussed.

Once mine fell on the floor next to my computer, and the arms camouflaged perfectly with black mouse / keyboard cables etc. It took me a long time to find them that time - if you haven't found them yet, good luck!

Thanks lol I found them right on my desk but I actually don't normally leave them there so that's a new one but it was still a big duh.
