Actually here’s another question: if you don’t cook/don’t cook much for reasons relating to your own knowledge/skill/confidence, what would help? What kinds of things would you like to learn? Reposts very welcome on this!

(I have been talking for AGES about making a site to teach super basics of cooking for people who struggle with following recipes because they assume basic knowledge that lots of people don’t have now, this would be part of the page design)

I'm not saying every trump supporter is a pedophile, but it sure looks like every pedophile is a trump supporter.

At least two of those (Animal Farm and Catch 22) are books that we were given to read in our English Literature lessons at our grammar school as teenagers

We were also given John Steinbeck books which oddly seem to be banned in some places in North America

Banning books feels quite weird to me

Went to take the recycling out for the bin men and there was a hedgehog waddling up the road 🦔

Pitch black flash photography and essential tremor don't make for great photos, so let's play the game of spot the hedgehog instead 😊

The chips looked really anaemic compared to when I do them in the airfryer but they still tasted as wonderful as usual

Thought I'd bought in all the ingredients to make a beetroot and chocolate cake 🍫

Printed off the recipe, went to take the five eggs out of the fridge 🥚

"Where are the eggs, honeybunny?" 🤔

"We don't have any" 👯

"Oh bollocks!" 💬

Anyway, #vegetarian #food again tonight (but no cake) 🎂

Should have protected it more professionally 💂‍♂️

At the same time as they've let it be known that they're also lowering their vetting standards

They really are a party of 🐂💩

Fat chance of that happening after all the money the industry have spent on buttering up #Labour
