I just finished catching up on the Bridge. So I thought I'd waste time on B3ta while waiting for the sky man.
What are you up to?

So I've fired up my backup and I'm going to see what I can salvage from the old hard drive -luckily I've backed up most stuff.
Then Twang club for a few hours. I'll be cooking beef curry for tea.

wool is currently in the mordant, probably should have been more careful not to get alum on the kitchen surfaces.

Cochineal's an interesting one, too, for ages the dudes who discovered it (I want to say somewhere is south america here, but I think I'm wrong) didn't let on it was beetles for ages and so controlled it's production for years

For centuries the only source of purple dye was a small snail that existed only on one Mediterranean isle. Hence the 'royal' association with the colour due to its huge cost. In the 1800's a teenager trying to produce synthetic quinine accidentally made mauvine, the worlds first synthetic dye.

But I think about an hour-45m / two hours, each way, every day, I'll struggle. But now I'm thinking I might not struggle. But I probably will. I donno, is struggling to get into work worth £5k/year ? The recruiter is REALLY fit, she's never going to date me now. She probably wouldn't have dated me anyway. She spent so much time on me.
I'm gonna take myself down to the picture house later and see that Avenger film.

but six months of a three hour round trip nearly killed me. I think you made the right choice, plus you have to factor in that if it's that much further away, surely you'd be spending most of the wage increase you'd get on a more expensive season ticket?

then in a year or so's time, you find something else. It's not like you were short on offers.
I think you made the right decision, though. I used to commute about an hour or so, it sucked

I'm sitting in the car, in a nice Warwickshire village, with a sleeping baby tangle, while Mrs Dupinblue and little tangle are watching a duck race. I'm thinking of sticking the baby in her carrier when she wakes and popping into one of the village pubs I can see.

Have you got yourself some mint / mint tea? Or even perhaps peppermint oil? It really does help with these things.

which is a chicken escalope wrapped in parma ham with a slice of cheese between, then dipped in a mix of 2/3 breadcrumbs, 1/3 parmesan and shallow fried to seal it, then finished off under the grill.
And I also made a seared tuna steak with king prawns in a coriander, soy and chilli marinade with coconut rice. Both were, if I do say so myself, quite excellent.
And no, I don't have any mint tea. I did have some gaviscon earlier but it doesn't seem to have achieved anything.

Gaviscon is more for heartburn than nausia. The rennnie's chews are pretty good too.
omg, that first one sound beyond lush, I would soo dig that. Have you ever tried Panko breadcrumbs? They're the perfect ones for me. I got some well posh cheeses in at the moment, proper think-about-it-after-you-swallow types. Two are brie like and two are soft blue cheeses. That tuna one sounds pretty good too, even though tuna is my 'food hell', I think it might be able to convert me, that one.

and he's not here, and all the shops are shut in any case. I have not tried panko breadcrumbs yet but I did buy some the other day for when I make that chicken whatsit again, because it was lush. Failing that I could just go out and buy some camembert and breadcrumb and fry that.

Oh dear lordy, panko deep fried cannonbear (or a strong brie) with some kind of jam/sauce and something to dunk it in..... Seriously, if you ever want to give someone a heart attack and for them to thank you for it after, I'll be first in line - It'll be totally worth it.

preferably the Le Rustique one that comes in a little wooden box, bake at 200oC for about ten minutes, top with red onion marmalade and stick back under for another few minutes. Nom with fresh crusty bread...
OR
Cut the camembert in to eighths, roll in breadcrumbs and shallow fry in very hot oil. Use cranberry and port jelly to dip, or similar.

A cheese maker of canonbert taught me how to tell the perfectly ripe one. The ridges should be brown half way up them while being in the fridge, then you leave it out unwrapped for about an hour or soo, and the ridges should then brown off. And that is how to tell. It's something to do with the ammonia.
Have you tried Epposis ?

all I can taste is the ammonia, then. And no, I haven't - but I have seen it in the M&S at the end of my road. Pie D'Angloys is nice as well.
