SandwichShortOfAPicnic said: The first chicken rillette recipe is underway. Half the chicken is for rillette and half for chicken melts. For rillette most recipes suggest oven at 120c or simmering on the hob until it falls apart. I’ve opted for slow cooking in the pot as I’m hoping to slide the skins off whole and make some chicken crackling to go with chicken melts later.

The title of this topic is a common phrase where I live, and I assume all over the country here, but in case it isn’t where you live, it’s a phrase frequently uttered when someone does something monumentally annoying, either out of intentional inconsiderate, or just simple cluelessness. It’s not for the mundane, everyday nuisances, it’s for that next-level irritation, the one that poisons the rest of your day. Here’s mine: There’s a special place in hell for…coworkers who intentionally... Read more ..read more

My CT scan last monday showed bad news for me, my frontal hernia is so complex that it threatens to strangulate my small bowel which can kill me , which means that I have to have corrective surgery as soon as possible. This means my ileostomy might be moved from the right side to my left side, or I might have a complex hernia surgery next to it. Either way recovery will take about six months. On the coming monday I will see my GI to determine when & what surgery will take place. So most... Read more ..read more

I have updated our tagging add-on today, which now includes software that scans your first few sentences of the first post in a new thread to automatically add tags to your post. It only does this after you press the post thread button. Hopefully it will help in selecting suitable tags for threads and might get around the issues of only resolving to a tag if the tag is an exact match including singular or plural matches (so currently apple and apples do not resolve to the same tag). So I... Read more ..read more
