I am disgusted at that revelation @Onyx2. On behalf of all Punjabi's I condemn you.

Carry on as you were.

I am, just not those two. 

Believe me, if I listed all the "problematic" people I'd go for a drink with, I'd be blacklisted. It's a LONG list.

Horny is horny 🤷‍♂️

We are a safe space mate, you can tell us.

Ahh ok. Sorry for thinking you were a secret Tory wanker @SuperBacon

It bloody wasn't! I have (some) standards.

Apologies, I just scrolled back and it was Plexy who posted Penny Mordaunt. I couldn't find Priti Patel though, I could have sworn it was you. Err sorry.

Don't worry, those that have had a wank over Penny Mordaunt or Priti Patel are ahead of you in queue to get into hell.

Both of those were also Bacon. He obviously has a bit of a thing for Tories.

Is the B&J book good? I had no idea of its existence, may have to track it down.

The ice cream looks pretty good Rick, I've never tried making my own but think I may give it a go

She can go off and start a new wing of the BNP now. Though they may not be hard-line enough for her. 

I had a similar problem with Hello Pandas. I now can't buy them at all because it will reignite my obsession.

Ahh is see they trundled Truss out for shits and giggles .

I've read How To Kill Your Family, it's great though I didn't find the ending very satisfactory.

We had the Halloween one, it was ok, but not great. I will still try the Christmas one though. It's nice seeing all the Christmas stuff back in the shops. My eldest is properly aware of Christmas for the first time, so we will be indulging in every type of Christmas treat.

Yeah, even washing it is incredibly simple, and when I'm feeling lazy I do the drop of washing up liquid and water straight in to it and just put it on and voila a very clean Velvetiser. I do use HC chocolate in it exclusively but I get it at 50% off. I don't know if I would if I didn't get it at a discount or occasionally free if it's out of date.

I use that in our Hotel Chocolat velvetiser and it's a decent quick replacement. Big fan of how easy the velvetiser is. Can't be doing with faffing about. I know they say not to use anything non-Hotel Chocolat with it but there's plenty of different recipes and whatever online. I use it most days during the cold months.

I have one of these too and it's the best. They are a bit expensive but regularly have £20 off the machine and they are better than most coffee shop ones in my opinion. The Clementine and Salted Caramel one is my favourite.

I also make myself a mocha in it pretty much every day as coffee works quite well in it. My sister works for Hotel Chocolat and she said they recommend using a shot of espresso in it but I use instant and two spoons of 70% dark chocolate and it does the trick. Unlike the hot chocolate, it's not as good as the ones in coffee shops but is the best attempt you will get at one at home in my opinion.

Those beans look dry as fuck. They are just in a gross little lump.

It was indeed. The spinach was added maybe 2 minutes before the end. Is there something else I should be doing with it?

Thanks for the tips, will try them all next time. 

You can blanche it before adding it, then it should already have released its water and it won't release it in your dish.

Mashing a bit of the potato down is also a cheats way to thicken it up, but traditionally you would just cook it out for longer for it to thicken. Low heat, lid on if it has a lid.

I had close up on the eggs to notice they were eggs...... I thought it was chopped lettuce.

I have the Aldi knock off of Le Creuset. I find it makes lovely casseroles and pies, I'm not sure of the science but as Lion said I think it's to do with the heat and the rate at which it cooks, they generally taste much better than pies/casseroles cooked in anything else unless I've done the filling in the slow cooker. So do you need one? Not really but I think they are good to have, I think you getter a better tasting product and as I don't have pans that can go in the oven, I like that I can use it on the stove and then stick it in the oven.

Light a lasting fire. In my husband's absence, I decided I would put the log burner on as it's freezing and the baby is ill. It took me three attempts to get anything near a fire that would keep burning for longer than a few minutes. Lighting a lasting fire was a big part of human evolution for warmth and cooking etc, I think it's safe to say that I would not have survived very long. I never knew setting things on fire could be so difficult.

I'm with your wife @Chest Rockwell, in fact I have two of the little tubs with garam masala in them (the others are jeera, salt, haldi, red chilli flakes and black pepper). Mine all share a spoon too so I'm a little envious of your separate spoons.

Is there one missing @Chest Rockwell or is it just very spacious? They are usually quite a snug fit

I don't like Walkers in general but Paprika Max are still one of my all time favourite crisps.

I'm not really a tej pata user but the name always makes me laugh as translated to English it means very fast leaf. We only ever use it when making rice.

All my Indian spices go in one of these, as is tradition, and I would have to hang my head in shame if it were to be labeled at all:

 

Same, though mine has only half of the spices listed there.

The spice drawer has every weird and wonderful spice in it. Some mis-labelled and only I know what is really in there.

I mean the sinister music is ridiculous and detracts from the point I think.
