My parents passed their use-by dates and left me enough cash that we could afford a main contractor who's pretty much sorting it all out. So far super impressed with them compared to builders I've used in the past.
Dodgy builders or overambitions DIY project?
I'm managing. I have a single electric hot plate, a slow cooker, an airfryer, and my barbecue outside. But I'm just dishing up minimal effort / minimal washing up food at the moment!
Oh, yeah. When my kitchen exists again I will definitely give this a go. No Scotch Bonnets in it because the kids but I'll add some Encona Scotch Bonnet hot sauce to mine.
I love kedgeree. And the family enjoy it too. I like to use uncooked (undyed) haddock which I poach in milk. Then I use half fishy-milk and half water to cook my rice to amp up the flavour.
I've used lettuce in stiry fries many times, but not in something that cooks a bit slower like this. I'll give it a go (the kids will hate it, but they have no vote).
When I was first learning to cook I once confused garlic clove with garlic bulb in a curry recipe.
I still have no regrets.
Mouthwatering!
That's my kitchen being demolished.
Normal service will resume, if they can put it back together again!

Not trying to pick a fight here.
I’m genuinely curious how TikTok has changed society. I don’t use it, but then nor does my teenage daughter. I get that it is/was popular, and changed the way people consume some kinds of content, but I don’t see that it changed society in any fundamental way.

Even beats the sublime John Player Specials Lotus livery.
A looooong time ago I learned to drive.
Figuring out the clutch was just a single driving lesson. He took me to a road which was basically a long hill with no traffic around. He got me to head up the hill in first gear, then to slowly start depressing the clutch until we stopped moving. Then he got me to just play with lowering the clutch more (we slowly start to roll back), lifting the clutch, adding some more throttle and then holding it on the clutch again, and so on - all while listening to the engine note so I could hear just before we stalled. We spent about half an hour on that hill and by the time we left it I had pretty much mastered holding the car on the clutch.
