I usually "sweat" all my soup veg in olive oil first anyway...are you saying that I need to add some more olive oil whilst soup is simmering away?

I sweat them too ( no nastiness being said here really). I do add a little olive oil when simmering si senora M, to give it some extra goodness.

I'd love to know what you mean by that. What is the link between the two? If the thread has become tedious for you I can understand, but it doesn't mean it is for others(though this one isn't my cup of tea). It is the Lounge after all. The Drawing room is there for more serious debate.


Anyway as I'm here, my contribution:


How to Burn Toast


Insert one or two slices of bread into a toaster


Turn the temperature up to max


Wait until smoke rises from the toaster/or toast pops up


Remove burnt toast and scrape to taste

Love it Declan...but don't go away...please


Do I presume you are Irish? If so, do you have an authentic recipe for colcannon please...you know, something which your mum would have made as opposed to a Delia (no disrespect to Delia) recipe please?

Ha ha ha...we took our smoke alarm out of the kitchen I was burning toast so often...I keep running off to do other chores...

Your Ladymuckiness, how could I possibly know what you presume? But I am indeed Irish. As for colcannon, shure thats just cabbage and spuds mashed up isn't it? I don't know if my mum made it or not as Mrs Bridges used to do most of the cooking!

I think all kids do...my mum (French) used to make all these exotic French dishes which we didn't appreciate at the time, but bottom line was we too always preferred egg and chips...or sod the eggs...just chips. Ah, mum's chips...nothing like them.


Erm...being half Irish, don't suppose you have an authentic recipe for colcannon? And what is coddle? Actually, I'll go and google coddle.

Here it is: http://www.scotlandforvisitors.com/recipes/irishcoddle.php. Looks easy enough (take note brum);-).


WARNING: do not ignore the health and safety advice!::o


If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
