I will take the compliment, but when I am a-bottle-and-a-half-of-prosecco drunk, I am pretty racist, misogynistic and (without the alcohol) pretty selfish.


Oo, but is there a stain on your muscle tee? Let my guy clean it for you. Here's a shortie silk kimono to wear while he sorts it out.

I'm doing beef short ribs tonight. I normally do them slow cooked - about 12 hours overnight in a low oven - but Mr R wants me to try them in the pressure cooker. I have a pressure cooker recipe for ribs but I'm not convinced they'll be as good as slow roast.

Roasting caramelises the sugars, while pressure cooking is basically steaming. So it will be different. You should probably brown it before hand. Though I've never used a pressure cooker, so you should probably stick to your recipe.

I'd cover it in hoisin sauce (because that's my goto for meat)

Let us how it works out. Pictures - as long as it doesn't look like a school dinner. Though I've never had one of those either.

I grew up in a land of sand, surf, sun, and sandwiches.

(School dinner wasn't a thing in Oz. For one thing, the midday meal was called lunch, and most people bought it from home. Schools all had tuckshops, where your mum would write the order and your name on a brown paper bag, and put money inside, but that was also sandwiches (and pies!), which you would carry into the playground.

A few things, including a Sunny Boy, could be purchased at lunch time.)

(google google) oh, I see.

Sunny Boys could be frozen, but the tuckshop served them at room temperature. So more like a juice box.

You could win a free one, it was written on the inside. I remember when my mum was on tuckshop duty, she had to collate these large sticky wrappers to be returned to the distributor. No wonder she went back and finished her degree.

Only if we can reminisce about the contents of jamboree bags. Alternatively, perhaps not.

Or, as a metaphor for our current political situation, everlasting balls.
