She didn't say she had two kettles, or a friend called Polly for that matter.

Yep, got it in one


You need to be careful, some 'Vegetable Oil' is Palm Oil or a blend with that in, I always go for Sunflower Oil for frying with Olive Oil and Rapeseed Oil for flavouring in some sauces or dressings,Oh and 'Groundnut Oil*' for stir-frying with Toasted Sesame Oil used just for flavouring if needed.

* Groundnut Oil (peanut) has the highest 'burn point' of any oil.

I know of a Chinese retauraunt in our town that fries the egg rolls in peanut oil. Far and away better than all the competition.

That sounds like something out of "I'm sorry, I haven't a clue"

Only trouble is that some people are allergic to Peanut which can be serious/fatal. T'other thing is if a place is popular/busy then they can afford to change the Oil regularly but a place that's not doing so well will try to 'economise' by not doing that so the customers go down and the quality further reduces, a vicious spiral.

No, she'll be getting the box of chocolates I went in there to buy. But resistance is futile when it comes to yellow stickers.

I've not come across a yellow sticker , it sounds like addictive chewing gum !

Relentless scammers.
Somebody want me to update my bank details on the website "update-your-details.com"
Somebody want me to pay $1000 in bitcoins otherwise they will release a video with me watching porn.
Somebody want to share millions of dollars left by unknown relative.

Yawn.

You are becoming popular then ?

Morning.
VJ Day. The Red Arrows should be flying around later.
It is grey and damp here .

I'm on my first train journey since pre-covid. My mask is itchy and causing my glasses to steam up. My mouth is dry but I am probably not supposed to remove my mask to have a drink and eat my bar of Fry's chocolate cream.

For anyone who's interested, last winter's significant dimming of the star Betelgeuse has been explained as a huge hot, dense cloud of material that was ejected into space from the star's surface that cooled to form dust, shielding the star’s light and making it appear dimmer from the perspective of viewers on Earth.

It's raining.

I am watching the snooker.

There is a cat on my lap who is currently washing my arm.
