Don't ask me...........I can barely boil an egg!

When you say "you can barely boil an egg" does that mean you boil them in the nude ?
If so please count me in for breckie tomorrow

Morning all, thick mist out there across the fields, bike ride planned for this morning. 14 ounces heavier this morning, I lay the blame firmly at the door of the Swedes.

I have risen!

I

That is easy, just wrap it in tin foil and place it in the microwave for 15 minutes, not forgetting you need to turn the microwave on 5 minutes before placing the egg in to warm it up.

Good morning. Really hot here last night. There is lots of mist here as well. Weather forecast is for storms again today so lots of for me today.

Stay safe folks.

Good morning people.

Today I shall be mostly having a stir-fry for lunch, which is soon methinks. I use a good dash of mushroom sauce, and a dollop of Thai chilli paste. I often do it just with veg, but got some chicken to use up from my curries the last 2 days. Nearly missed my morning ride because of light drizzle, but around 8:30am it was good to go. Any later and it's too hot for me 🥵

I have just had a nice omelet/omelette/ommelete, nope not a clue, fried egg with lots of bits in it, cheese, potato, tomato, green bits and not a clue what else, the best bit though was no shell.

Re the curry.
When I follow a recipe I always end up tasting and thinking ahhh it needs some of this.....then it needs some of that etc. So last night I just made it up as I went along.
TBH it smells a bit strong this morning. I can see I will be adding sugar?? mango chutney ?? coconut milk ??
Hope this works

Coconut milk works well in a curry. So does chutney. Try to keep the sugar out though.

In some places that would be a Spanish omelette.

Morning all, all this talk of curry and omelettes has got the digestive juices flowing. Poached eggs on toast for breakfast I think.
Very humid this morning, with more showers this afternoon.
Out with muttley shortly then back for brekie.

Otherwise known as a 'Pavement Pizza'.

Morning all

Good morning fellow retirees,

Humid here at the moment with promises of rain this afternoon.
Added a couple more lavender plants to the front garden yesterday, an impulse purchase by Mrs Tenkay, but you can't have too many lavender plants, the bees love them.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks

Morning all, a very still, very grey start again. Forecast says it’s going to get brighter later but they said that yesterday too.

It does appear to be attempting to brighten up, but not sure how long the roads will take to dry. I don't use the road bikes if it's still wet as I don't find the wet, dirty stripe up your back a good effect. I could take the hybrid as it has mudguards but it's so heavy I don't enjoy it the same.
