So you like old, worn-out shoes as opposed to well-maintained ones? I know what I'm buying you for Christmas.

I hope that shoemaker gag is the last.

Is there any actual reason to use those bowls with the massive rims beyond presentation?

Maybe to serve a little soup and some crackers without getting a lot of crumbs on the table?

I nudge the eggs. Once I got a carton with one egg stuck to it. Of course that was the egg I tried to use first. So it cracked, its bottom stuck to the carton, and I had to remove the rest, storing them in a bowl where they took up more space, or at least a less-convenient space.

We are not quite sure about that, also the UK has no customs infrastructure because all of its trade comes through the EU and has hitherto required no customs checks at all, the government has neglected to do anything about it other than declaring most of Kent to be the EU side of the border and building a lot of big car parks for trucks. The actual customs lane on the UK side of the channel tunnel is apparently about three trucks long. The government still has not been able to negotiate any trading arrangement because they have spent the last several years arguing about fishing, which is apparently the only thing anyone cares about despite games workshop probably having a higher GDP contribution than the UK fishing industry.

Current estimates are major trade disruptions once the transition period ends once 2021 starts. gently caress only knows if or how they will resolve them.

So yes, food may become a problem depending on what happens, certainly food variety I would expect to suffer.

Fortunately I like root vegetables and I think more or less everything I actually like eating is grown in the UK.

Is it expected that some folks down in the southwest are going to embrace their ancestral folkways and start importing uncustomed goods in small boats?

The trick to corned beef is waiting until March when it's on sale and completely filling your freezer with it.

I have a tiny freezer, but last March 17, right before going into hiding, I bought some marked down corned beef. Tasty with greens and either boiled or baked spuds. Bit of mustard, bit of horseradish. Good stuff.

Still, I've never failed at opening a can with a key. Admittedly, that's only about 6 cans, but I'm not mechanical.

I'm sure it was delicious but why call it a shrimp carbonara at that point? it's just pasta with shrimp sauce.


bread sauce is bread sauce. it's a sauce made with breadcrumbs, shallots, milk, cream, cloves, bay leaves, thyme and nutmeg gently simmered for 20 minutes or so to let the breadcrumbs plump up and all the flavours infuse. it's a traditional and extremely delicious part of christmas dinner and complements everything else on the plate very well. it's my turkish girlfriend's favourite part of the dinner.


So it's onions and poo poo boiled in milk. White gravy without the sausage meat.

The 'and poo poo' is what makes a very flavourful and tasty complement to the turkey meat

And here I thought I'd have to drag out some lame "onions are alliums" stuff.

Dude, Bread Sauce is a completely ordinary and tasty thing, shared between cultures with variations.

Cabbage is not even the best brassica, which is sprouts.

Like why even bother with cabbage, poo poo tier vegetable, waste of entire field of vegetology that has invented much better vegetables on the same theme.

So, to avoid a transatlantic food-term derail,

aubergines are eggplants,
courgettes are zucchini,
and sprouts are collard greens,

right?

The only real problem I have with cabbage is that there's so much cabbage inside of one. I live alone, cooking just for myself, so if I start eating a cabbage it takes me two weeks (a double-sennight).

I thought of that, but you can see two other restaurant workers, who might be also tiny, but consider the mussels. To take and cook such small mussels would make no sense.
