  4. How are the barstardo wasps? Are they all gone now?
     
  5. yes thanks Jez, just the dusty remains of the nest. No big rats at last visit but put down lots of poison (forgot the traps).
     
  6. Congrats! You've made the loft great again!

  7. I forgot to mention this little gizmo in my previous ramblings -
    Diablo

    I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that it makes the best toastie I ever ate .
    It makes a sort of clam shell , about the size of a DVD , and everything gets really well sealed inside .

    Plus point - You can use off-cuts and crusts and other bits from previous toasties , and the result
    is still perfect
    Minus point - It only makes one at a time ( and you ARE going to want more .... immediately )
    ....... and you need a gas hob , but I suppose an open fire might work .

  8. Wow, that is a lot of things just to make a sandwich.
    While I do Not eat ANY bread now... Some butter and a pan was all that was needed in my house besides 2 slices of bread and fillings of choice.
    Generally I thought our homes were larger with larger Kitchens...
    You must have a ton of counter space to add something just to make Panini's.
    Yes, we all have a "Toaster" but that is for toast generally, not toasted sandwiches (Panini's)

  9. is that to reduce carbohydrate intake or you just don't like bread that much?
     
  10. Keto Baby!
    Healthy Keto.
    I was already Diabetic. Very well controlled. With Keto I feel 20 years younger than before I started.
    Weight down, Libido UP!. Way less need for coffee and I wake up refreshed.
    I have (and my direct family) have generally not bought "food" for home ever. Just ingredients to make food.
    When I made the switch to Keto... WOW!

    We did understand the cult of bread before then. So many discount the breads flavor <<--- Spelled the right way :)
    in a sandwich.
    It is certainly not the cheaper way to eat though.

    I make the best sauce/Sunday Gravy for 678 miles...
    If I spend all day making it with sausage and Meatballs I buy the correct bread and have one slice and throw/give the rest away. Buttered Bread is way better than pasta.
     
  11. "We did understand the cult of bread before then. So many discount the breads flavor <<--- Spelled the right way :)"

    ?? "breads" ? yep. correct spelling over here, :upyeah: that is, if i've done my maths correctly.


    can you speak 2English2 Rex?? - why don't you try starting a campaign to only speak Urmerican over there? huh/ speak
     
  12. I'm just lobbing this out there as a debating point ( not trying to convert anybody )

    Modern wheat ( for want of a better term ) is not biologically suitable for the digestive systems of "modern" humans .
    Some say the same about cow's milk , since it is naturally evolved to provide intensive nutrition for calves .

    But on the wheat issue ..... " Wheat Belly "

    I don't usually pay much attention to these type of food related talks and theories
    but this bloke just makes total sense to me
    ..... and I checked up on the parts where he is talking about the chemistry of gluten ,
    and he is dead right !

  15. I agree, but over here it is not just the type of wheat, They also fortify ours with Iron which causes problems.
    And...
    We are the ONLY mammals that do not ween themselves off of milk, and it is not even our Mothers milk!



    But... the power of cheese!
    I love cheese!

  16. I bought this 4 slice pizza warmer off someone on Facebook, work as a sandwich toaster too if you take it easy on the fillings ;) C8B0FC97-7ACE-4582-B216-827687096884.jpeg

  17. Do actually have a breville sandwich toaster too which we use quite a lot. Mostly go with the old faithful of ham and cheese with a dash of Worcester sauce
