What dishes did you do?

Ive been hankering after lobster thermidor for weeks. So much so I bought new lobster picks and ordered a lobster which didnt turn up. Its likely to be the first thing I order in a restaurant after J day (jab day).

ooooh harsh

Good stuff. Screen shot taken. You’ve addressed my fear of cold batter sucking the heat out of the pan too. Any odds in adding the S&P before though? I’m inclined to do so.

I’ll let you know. I never make Yorkshire puddings! Tips gratefully received!

They look so good. I’m doing an old school classic this week- beef bourguinon and apparently Yorkshire’s go really well with it so I’m going to give it a whirl?!? I’ll let you know how it goes.

Yep when it starts moving again it almost ready

I would put Benders Christmas food pics on here but I’m too lazy to scroll that far back

It is heartbreaking but eventually from these experimental techniques genuine treatments are found and perfected. That’s how almost all surgeries have evolved. Could I do it? Nope. Children’s nursing was a step too far for me. I can’t close off my emotions to that level without turning into a psychopath myself so I ran back to adult nursing where strangely enough I can do anything so long as it’s for the patients on good in the long run!

After @S-Westerlys confession of his sybarite tendencies, the glorious pic of a 900g steak and his roast pheasant for Sunday lunch I think a balm for these dull days might be a thread of foody inspired treats. So post your pics of Sunday lunch, of glorious puds or luscious bites and let’s indulge in something just a little bit sunnier and more inspiring than how many people died of Covid today! I have nothing to offer currently but I’m reposting s-westerlys devine looking t-bone to kick things off.

What psychopath experiments children!

Well they weren’t experimenting it just wasn’t considered sensible to give a general anaesthetic for a test. Helping with that awfulness got me a job offer because apparently most people can’t hold their nerve when it involves hurting someone, particularly a child. I ran a mile.

No it’s just military people like exposing bottoms!

Qué?

Polytunnels available for £50. Gazebos even less at the moment. But even so a bit much for a helmet that’s likely doomed

Installed new washing machine, leaking continued. U bend has imperceptible crack that only leaks when the machines emptying. Just standing water is not enough to cause it to leak so I didn’t detect it when I examined it. Very expensive new machine could have been avoided for the sake of replacing a £5 unbend. What a prat. My only defence is no-one else found it either

Yeh I wouldn’t be putting my name down for one of those. I once had to hold down a 2 year old while we did a lumber puncture on him. It was an experience I will never forget. Some peoples faces are burned into your memory forever. The screaming and mum silently crying while we tortured her little boy is something I’ll never forget. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a depressed psychologically damaged 2 year old but it’s not good.

If you gave even implied consent then technically no assault took place. In Rennie’s case he couldn’t consent because he didn’t know what he was being injected with. It is impossible to sign away your basic human rights no matter who your employer is or what the circumstances are that make people think it’s ok to breach them. So that is assault.

I could but the garage is one of the only rooms thats not super scruffy I have a largish room full of junk I never use, tidy up should suffice and I have a very large roll of clear polythene left over from painting the kitchen plus for no reason I can fathom it’s boiling hot in there

Not as painful or horrible as watching a student yank on a catheter tube to remove it without first deflating the balloon. I cannot confirm that happened but if it did the scream will forever ring in my ears

In all of your examples you have a choice to walk away. It might not feel like choice but you can ultimately say no. The virus would only kill or disable the unvaccinated and I see it as a fundamental right to decide what happens to your body. This isn’t a China or some other tin pot dictatorship. Vaccination uptake in this country has never fallen below 70% even for the ageing vulnerable flu vaccine cohort so giving people the freedom to choose whether they are vaccinated is not going to lead to the NHS being overwhelmed by any stretch of the imagination. I’m not sure how a “virus’s deadliness isn’t its kill rate.” If it didn’t kill or disable then we wouldn’t give a damn about it just like the common cold. Unless the whole world is vaccinated at the same time or you permanently close the borders to everyone theres no way of stopping mutations coming in. The spread of the original strain coronavirus demonstrated just that. If everyone’s so worried about mutations then why aren’t we vaccinating anyone under 16years old? The old school germ melting pot is still free to develop mutations. An annual jab tweaked to include the latest variants given by consent is the simplest most reasonable solution.

I have winced once but it was a steroid injection and he scraped the bone while fishing around in in my AC joint so I forgive myself that one

I think I’ll either wait until it warms up or plastic sheet a room indoors.

A small poly tunnel inside another larger poly tunnel or gazebo might do but these things need to be large enough to walk around the helmet spraying so the cost and time to erect all this stuff seems a bit ridiculous. I do have 6 king size duvets I used to cover the bikes with before the garage was made good but if I used them on a poly tunnel I’d cut out all natural light. I seem to be going round in circles.

Hmm yes my thought exactly.
