So we're still in the EU rule wise? 😂

What a great way to spend 4 years

AFAIK, from my work perspective, UK certifications still hold, e.g. if your company has an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Certification and a German client wants to see it, as long as it's UKAS approved you can still work with them...unless the client works to a specific EU standard (e.g. DIN or EN ISO) you an SOL and goes through what might be a years-long process. The UK also lost its voting privilege on harmonized EU standards (Eurocode) which means the EU can and will force the UK to submit to changes in standards that the UK cannot vote.

Also, this change is just wonderful for corrupt industry moguls to change the national standards without any EU oversight. It's a subtle change that might be not be noticed by the public even after years but bear in mind that, for example, the quality of concrete that has been used in the UK and EU is decided by a committee of all countries. Now it can/will be reset and made "British" which has quite nasty implications.

They just played 'Baby it's Cold Outside' on 6music and it reminded me that at least 2020 distracted everyone from griping about that dumb old tune. Also it was Sharon Van Etten and Rufus Wainwright singing so that made the context a bit odd.

We had our xmas dinner today as my partner works in a hospital and has a shift tomorrow.

It's the first time we've ever cooked one ourselves. Normally I go to my mum's and she's often back with her folks in the US. It was pretty great since we're both better cooks than our parents - turkey that wasn't drier than the surface of Mars, properly crispy roast potatoes instead of frozen ones from the supermarket, and veggies that weren't boiled to oblivion in traditional old person style.

I am worse at cooking roasts than my dad, but probably better at anything involving spices. My mum is not a good cook, but she gets by.

We just bought one of those turkey breast joints since there's only the two of us, and I imagine it's easier to cook than a full turkey.

My mum is great on cakes and desserts, but I hated vegetables until I turned 18 and left home and learned to cook for myself.

My dad's cooking skills peaked at burnt sausage roll sandwich - put 2 lovely store-bought sausage rolls under the grill until the pastry turns black, then serve between two slices of toasted white bread with ketchup to taste.

My dad was a cook so he was pretty good and taught me how to make a ton of weird and wonderful dishes. My mother however was capable of mixing up salt and sugar in a cake recipe then trying to force you to eat it anyway because she put the effort in. She would cook one passable dish maybe twice a year and try in vain to recreate that victory forever more by randomly replacing ingredients.

Best gift my dad ever gave me was his 'hangover kedgeree' recipe which has enough protein, salt and vitamin C in it to calm the most horrendous hangover;

2 cups of basmati rice
enough water to cook that there rice
Smoked haddock
Quartered hardboiled eggs
1 large onion diced
Juice of 2 lemons
1 tsp curry powder
1 tbsp turmeric powder
few bay leaves
butter
maybe sultanas

Single pan recipe - brown off the onion in the butter, bung in everything else (except the eggs)cover and simmer until the water is absorbed, maybe season (there is enough salt in the haddock usually, maybe some add some fresh parsley if you're feeling like it), throw in the eggs, stir and serve. Takes around 20 minutes. The key is just going way, way overboard with lemon juice for the hangover variant.

Lol speaking of my mother in law shes really outdone herself this time. Shes portuguese which doesn't mean anything in itself but she sends lots of stuff back to her relations in Madeira and she will take things just lying around the house and ship it off. This time shes sent off a coat that was is was(?) my sister in laws that she obviously still wore and recently too cuz it had her bank card and driving licence in it lol
