Did beetroot, cardamom, orange and coconut milk the other day to use up the 5 beets from the veg box. Nice with toasted pumpkin seeds. Red wee for 2 days though!

Binged the whole series of Living With Yourself at the weekend. It really quite good.

I binged it in one night as i like Paul Rudd. Enjoyable but daft.

I love to photograph fungi. Don’t get loads of impressive ones in Sussex usually but the recent rain has brought out a few decent ones. I was like a kid in a sweet shop when on holiday in the Highlands last September. It’s just fascinating the range of shapes and colours you get!

Sad dat. have been wondering when he would go in Ambridgeworld. It must have been really moving and tough for the actors to do that scene after losing their friend in real life.

Nah he prefers craft ale like all true stwers and i prefer a nice strong cider

That above is why i just avoid picking plain white mushrooms and stick to more distinctive types

Dog will be fine. If this deal goes through nothing is changing till December 2020.

There’s a few I’m confident of. Had some fried shaggy parasols on top of our casserole tonight.

Can’t you just get one of those plug in range extenders? We have one as signal was poor from router in front room to back extension but with the extender in the kitchen i now get wifi at the end of the garden.

I smoked my 1st joint at 16 at a party of some of my mum’s friends. I asked her if she would ask her friend if i could try it as was intrigued. She agreed but was most concerned about me getting addicted to the tabacco but she knew that banning me or making me go underground with it would not help. I dabbled a bit through uni days but grew up and now i hate being stoned. I really think it’s a phase most teens will want to try so just give advise and don’t push him so he just hides it from you.

Watched final episode of season 5 1st as really couldn’t remember the end of the series. seem to remember my interest tailing off for that final season as i can remember so much more from earlier seasons even though they were watched much longer ago. Glad i rewatached it as i had completely forgotten what happened which was probably a bad sign. El Camino was watchable but like above felt like an unnecessary add on and in a year I’ll probably have completely forgotten what happened in it too.

Tj. Lots of substances have been proven much more strongly to be linked to cancer than glyphosate and we actually eat those. Get some perspective.

It doesn’t build up in the ground if it did then new plants and weeds wouldn’t grow in soil sprayed with it. They do. It actually breaks down very quickly. It is showing up in the food chain/water due to incorrect or ocer use and whilst i don’t think it should be widely used in agriculture as it currently is there is no risk to human or insect if used correctly to kill a few weeds in a driveway. The hysteria around gylphostate in particular is ridiculous and could cause more damage to the environment as if it gets banned other less well tested and harsher chemicals will be employed instead.

Just use gylphostate. Lots of things we use all the time are much more cancerous. Booze, bacon or sunshine anyone? Please don’t tip homemade concoctions around our environment. High salt levels will kill more than just weeds.

Had envirovent fit a piv in a loft for £800 and then fitted a piv ourselves in a different loft for £300 both work spot on. So if you can do it yourselves then all good otherwise pay someone else a premium.

Sthil hla 65. Really light. Battery lasts ages. Tough enough for pro use. Folds away nice and tidy.

If you left the house with the bag i don’t see the issue? Proof reading may be suffering though?!

Zooplus. Zippy yes agree on all counts!

Oh yeah I’d second rosewater. That was very good.

I started hyperion after a previous sci fi book thread from here but never finished it. Just felt like hard work.

Sassinak. by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon, published by Baen Books in 1990. It is the first book in the Planet Pirates trilogy. I read them many years ago and think they were ahead of their time.

Brighton. I can travel for the right home. She would need to be housed separately if he has a male already though.

Yeah i eat a hugely varied diet but pulses, beans and lots of vegetables certainly increase the wind compared with meat, fish, salad and simple carbs like bread. I just embrace it though as i know it’s good for me.

Thanks both. Needs to be Southern England so i can check setup and deliver her. Will take a look at shelled warriors.

A poem by you written on nice paper.

Whilst it would be nice if every person was romantic and imaginative enough to come up with good gift ideas it’s not everyone’s forte and at least you have bothered to ask on here. I live in hope….

I’ve been self employed 15 years and I’d never do anything else. It’s great. Hard getting going but if you can make it then all good.

Recently had a composite deck laid. Materials are expensive but I’m told it will last 25 years and no painting required. It’s a shady area in winter so cleaning and painting it every other year wasn’t cheap.

Each of those bushes needs to be treated differently and will probably need hand pruning rather than a hedge cutter. Bit hard to describe techniques so if you’re wanting great results get a pro or research each shrub individually using rhs website as you have ids for them.

I’ve tried cbd flower for pain and find it works but i also find it seems to have a pretty powerful effect in other ways. Like being high i think. I can’t imagine being able to drive or even really get off the sofa after it so rarely use it unless desperate.

You should go and live in france for 6 months before your holiday! 😆

Ah well we are heading to Europe for a year so will hopefully be pretty immersed.
Thanks for the recommendations.

Haven’t done yet as can’t be bothered to wait that long for the sake of a pizza. Highly doubt it’s your starter that’s the problem that’s just flour and water but will be technique of working the dough/timings. With bread making you need to learn to feel when the dough is right and gage timings not just follow a recipe to the letter. Like you said temperatures are very high at the moment and things will be moving far quicker. Also the amount of water you add can vary with each flour/age of flour/how it is stored. What temp is your fridge at? Needs to be pretty cold to slow it down properly.

The one thing I really struggle to understand on a daily basis and if I stop to ponder it for too long I start to feel very depressed is how a human can inflict physical pain on another human knowing how much, for example it bloody hurts when you do something innocuous like stub your toe. I just don’t understand how people can stab, torture and rape etc.

Yep Star trek universe during Picards time or Ramsey street back in the 90’s as a second best.

Well yes by lighter i meant less dense! More air holes and a higher rise. A loaf can be any shape. Most cast iron pots will be round which makes a nice domed loaf.
They look ace Northwind. I’ve not baked for several weeks as been really hectic but have fed my starter once a week and may throw together some flatbreads tomorrow evening with the xs of starter I’ve now got.

Awww to old and new. Dreading the day i have to go through that with my girl labby.

Leaving your loaf in the tin for 30 mins after baking is definitely why you have a soggy bottom! It needs to go straight onto a cooling rack. I use the one from inside my microwave. I think if you want a lighter nicer loaf you need to try a different recipe and a dutch oven!

The crumb looks good on your 1st one if it’s slimy though maybe it needed longer but a lower temperature so it doesn’t get too brown on top. I would say the texture is generally a little rubbery but not unpleasantly so.
Second one looks great on the outside. Did you slash the top? Soggy bottom is strange never had that with tin or dutch oven. You did take it out of the tin as soon as it was out of the oven?

Homemade sourdough will always be quite dense/heavy unless your an expert but i find using a tin causes it to be more dense. In the dutch oven it recreates a bakers steam oven and you get loads of oven spring making a lighter loaf. Another thing i found was making a smaller loaf that it was easier to handle and got a lighter loaf. I think a pro baker gets a really light loaf through their kneading and shaping techniques.

My dog is up to date with her flea treatment but has recently started scratching and has made a sore spot. Same this time last year so i recon it’s all the grass seed/pollen from her walks that’s bothering her.

Must be part of the alien programming
