Try throwing an ice cube into the pot just before the lid goes on.

E all the bikes!

U mad? None of us ride bikes any longer, so they don’t need servicing. Apart from my valet putting the e-bike on to charge just in case I have a sudden rush of blood to the head and want to cos play being a cyclist.

My mother told me a story when she worked in PR of him demanding sex or he wouldn’t cover an event she was promoting. He pretty much chased her around his office, she didn’t comply. She tried to make light of it but clearly it had been very uncomfortable.

I'd be upset getting that on my soft butt

ftfy

Watch it, as any explanation is a bit of a spoiler.

My friend’s father in law was a drinking buddy of The Dark, he is of the opinion it’s quite a balanced account.

When I was a kid a facetious friend sent a letter to Aero that his chocolate was full of holes. He had the compensation cheque framed on his wall.

Oh be quiet with your sensible logic and awareness of the different standards. My LBS should service my bike on my terms.

They should be rolling out a clean red carpet when I arrive on my filthy bike, and doesn’t a puncture repair come with a detailed clean, and why are they firing a new inner tube when I brought a stick on puncture patch with me that I bought off Ali express?

🤣

I have leat body armour which fits under mtb jersey but has back pockets which are elasticated so items don’t fall out. It’s light enough that I never notice I am wearing it.

But unsure if the latest version has the back pockets

Given I have loads of Makita cordless kit my next vacuum will be one of theirs.

A good friend from Northern Ireland gave me the tip to watch Say Nothing, he has family members who knew many of the people involved in the events depicted and says it is pretty accurate. Two episodes in and I am gripped.

Fuck my eyes are terrible

The Bosch one at £180?

Full time house spouse, and I like making food.

The meat grinders let us make sausages, force meat and burgers, so burgers can be done medium rare with no worries.

Fresh ribbon and sheet pasta is amazing

Bake four or five loaves a week

Making cakes is great, had pumpkin pie at the weekend

All of these processes could be done by hand or using smaller tools however the bigger tools make the jobs easier and quicker. This frees up time to do other things.

We use the pasta rollers and extruders , meat grinders and sausage stuffers. But I did upgrade to the biggest kitchenaid as 6.6l bowl lift one burned out the motor 3 times when it was used for milling grain and grinding beef. Kitchenaid gave me a full refund on the original mixer and I used this to help pay for the upgrade to the professional model.

The direct drive professional ones are significantly more powerful.

I already have a spiraliser so haven’t bought one for the kitchen aid. I also ditched the Mockmill attachment and got a dedicated Mockmill for flour making.

fall of the tory party thread >>>>

We did a drying room and used the hose drain through the wall and to the outside. It’s only a little drip drip drip so doesn’t need to be connected to a drain and means there isn’t a tank to empty

We got a Meaco one.

The cream of Lfgss will turn on you

You milking this?

Utter gold. Thank you

One issue with trying to do American bbq in England is our animals are reared so differently. Theirs are grain fed, our better cattle are often outdoor pasture raised. Grain feeding tends to make for much more marbled meat, our cattle tend to have their fat on the outside with less marbling. So we end up missing out on the internal fat that renders down and bastes the meat from the inside out. US beef is graded by the marbling and fat content because fat makes for flavour.

I have been contemplating freezing sticks of dripping and then making incisions deep into beef and inserting the fat into the meat.

Also the fear of cholesterol has meant that lots of people ask for leaner joints of meat so farmers rear for the market they supply. One chap near me rears pigs, and I got half a pig from him and it was good, the next year I got another half pig and it had so little fat, when I asked he said it was just because lots of people were concerned by how fatty the meat was so he had used a different breed of pig, but for me the 2nd purchase lacked flavour.

Given this topic has taken over the news thread, is it now time for the forum’s farming experts to have their own thread to continue debating the topic?

A thread to show your armchair/keyboard/google/chatgpt knowledge of rural affairs

I do yoga and meditation every day for about an hour on average and sometimes also add in kettle bell exercises, physio exercises for which ever bit of me is currently most broken and a couple of times a week I do the McGill big three. The McGill ones are meant to strengthen and maintain the essential core muscles to minimise likelihood of sciatic and other back pain.

It’s fucking crazy to have to do this just to be able to barely function. Then I also turbo and or swim most days for cardio.
