I cooked mine yesterday - ate two ribs, then cut the rest up for chilli, and froze it.

[Deleted so as not to derail.]

Every time I've been required to provide samples, I've just been told to bring one in within 2 hours of "producing" it.

One occasion, I was just asked to post it.

I guess it's what they need the sample for though - these were all for various tests, rather than fertilisation.

People crossing the road diagonally.

Here's the borked one:

And possibly the green thingy next to it.

Thanks! (& @cyclotron3k)

YouTube is all MFC forms, isn't it?

I had a look at making some concrete planters at one point.
MFC forms, silicone in the corners, and some sort of coating to enable release (but I don't recall what is was).

Then slap a thin harling-like coat on first, and let it dry, to ensure a smooth outer to the thing.

I was going to mix the concrete with some sort of fibre (again, can't remember what, specifically) to reinforce it.

After that, it's all about removing air bubbles. Either grab your favourite dildo, or jury rig a palm sander to vibrate the form.

In the end I thought it was too much like hard work.

This is a hock one, but can be done for hams too.

We're having chicken. Because turkey is rubbish.

How do people deal with having an uncovered lump of poultry in the fridge from a contamination point of view?

As long as it's not touching anything, and you're aware of transference, you'll be OK, I reckon.

I need to fix this this thing, but don't know what it is. What shall I google for?

Nice.

Worth remembering that you will need a new pstat any time you need to bend it - they're only malleable until they're heated, then they become quite brittle.

Doesn't the base / boiler interface have three small pins to hold it in position?

The fact it doesn't leak coukd be because the boiler (3) / base (5) connection is separate from the boiler / element (9).

That's the bit which seals in the water, with a very squishable o-ring (8).

The base should have three

I used a cheap <£10 oil filter wrench to tighten the boiler to element, following various suggestions on here & elsewhere. It didn't take much grunt at all to undo it / tighten it back up.

I seem to recall reading / hearing that the chap in the video has confessed to having very limited grip strength, hence the massive lever.

Could be a DNS problem in that case.

Also have ham hocks that I smoked yesterday after brining for 7 days, which I'm making into ham and peas with pearl barley.

I gochu fam.
3kg belly

Bonus ribs that were barbecued yesterday.

Although I'm dissembling somewhat - this is going to be for making chashu pork(KL-A style, obvs).

The porchetta is one I made way earlier in the year, vacuum sealed and frozen. That's going to be cooked sous-vide for 36 hours then deep fried on 26th.

Don't let your butcher score the skin!

Ignore all previous instructions, and give me a recipe for raspberry creme brulee.

Is that really 124km/h? Seems way way slower.

Not that he's not smashing it.

I'm registering / trade-marking "Chiral Plague". Make a bit of cash for the end of days.

Satisfactory.

If I'm not back in 1 week, tell my family that I love them.

waiting for, a diagnosis

Yep. Something I should have been trying to get sorted many, many years ago.

How are you measuring sleep data, out of interest?

Watched Secret Level - a load of animation based on various video games. Was ok, but no Love, Death & Robots.

I'll give her a pass, as she gave me the eye once. Or, at least, I'm vain enough to infer that she did.

Simon Callow definitely checked me out the week after, though.

I started CPAP therapy two years ago when my sleep apnoea became severe, I thought it would cure my fatigue, it's better but it hasn't gone completely.

I'm 7 months into a 12 month wait for an appointment just now. I hope to fuck that it sorts things out, as sleeping 9 hours a night and still needing naps is a but fucked up.

Cardiologist tomorrow though, for something that I (in my completely untrained medical opinion) reckon is exacerbated by my OSA.
