I'd think there was a danger of them dissolving or disintegrating. :unsure:

I can certainly try it.

Banana sliced and added to the plate is nice too. But not for the hotter curries like Vindaloo or Red Thai.

This been mentioned yet?

No idea farmers fed cows such things as skittles, candy sprinkles, bakery cast off's, and such things as cherry juice, fish meal, peanut butter, fruit fillings, tapioca and left-over grain from distilleries.

Apparently as the cost of feed like corn has increased farmers have looked to cheaper alternatives.

Interesting....I have been thinking.. No, I wouldnt want to taste the rainbow:unsure:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Banana (on the side) acts as a coolent, coating your mouth and decreasing the heat. Milk works the same way - as does yoghurt (love raita) - water has the opposite effect!

Snowblower in garage. Garage door firmly welded shut with thick ice. Can't get car or snowblower! Going out with boiling water:unsure: I am dreaming of Greek doors, lovely image, made me feel all warm.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Oh, such memories that brings back! Working with middle daughter, carrying buckets of hot water to the garage door not quite quickly enough to prevent the previous one from freezing in place before the next one arrived. That was the last time I closed a garage door in the winter and about the same time I gave up locking house doors.

Yes, I could keep it in the garage.

We lost power from 9.30pm - 3.30am. That's equal to the longest outage we ever had in over 11 years, except for one that was 5 hours plus whatever time before 7.00 am it started...although that was a line to our house rather than a general outage.:ohmy:
Deck rails look all shiny with the coating.

The ice avalanches off the roof take you by surprise. :lol:

Try using a hairdryer.

It works. My missus was a bit narked though.

I can't remember the last time I used a hairdryer to dry my hair. It's a Jolly Useful tool for various aspects of winter in Canada (or the NE of England)... ;)

Must need a long power cord.

My local stores are no longer selling crochet hooks & accoutrements. I'm irrationally annoyed, while muttering "first world problems" to myself.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Eh?

My garage has a door into the house and I own a few of those new-fangled extension cord thingies too.

Makes sense better to give a patient a disease they can cure/treat then to have them die waiting for an organ.

I would choose a diseased liver that the doctors can treat vs dying.

I know of many houses that have garage access from inside. I lived in one previously. It's very convenient.

Need helping learning to be an adult?

Portland program to teach 'adulting' goes internationally viral | WLBZ2.com

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Pah. Who wants to be an adult? This leads nicely in to something that I was going to say.

I still pop bags.

I blow air in, screw up the end and then...bang!

The paper bags the pharmacy uses for my prescriptions are perfect but today, in attempt to thwart me, my stepson opened the bottom end of the bag. Very neatly.

Undeterred, while he was in the other room, I retrieved it, taped it up and...bang!! :rofl:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Oh yes. Sadly most come in boxes now. But I have 'demonstrated' when able.

Sometimes I wonder if the stepkids were far too mature (when younger) or Canadian kids just didn't do these things. :unsure:

HMV closing !!! Ouch must be all the online music

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

So much for the new store they opened a few months ago at the new mall in Tsawwassen.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Yep- I thought they had passed quietly in their sleep years ago- presumably more recently catering for the hipsters who were too young to buy vinyl the first time around who then realised just what a PIA playing a vinyl record is versus choosing and playing music on say Spotify.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

We have an HMV store in our Mall.

In early years here I used to drop in as they had a good movie section. Not important now with so much on line.

Virgin records was great when they were just a small shop but after it became a Bohemoth, HMV came into its own. They had great sales and I'd often come back with 5 or 6 LPs in my lunch break.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

HMV was apparently losing 100k a day according to court filings.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It's my fault. :(

Tried Persil detergent for laundry as it was on sale for same price as the usual brands. Not sure if it cleans better but certainly leaves a stronger perfume scent behind.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I've been buying Persil recently. Not because of an offer, or even for the smell. Just because it's what my Mum used to use. Of course she had gigantic boxes of powder rather than dinky bottles of liquid but it's nice to see a familiar brand. I'd rather see Penguins, or Quavers but you have to take what you can get. (And penguins aren't that good at getting stains out).

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I'm going to post this here rather than the TV/Gogglebox thread, given that the latest post there is about the same show.

Two days ago I posted how I had just finished series one of Unforgotten (6 parts) and was now up to date with series two.

I knew it would appeal to my daughter in law and tonight we watched series one - for me, all over again. I've never done that before. Usually I need significant time to pass between repeat viewings, not just two or three days.

Anyone else watch anything shortly after previously watching?
