Speaking (as one does) with “my” cat Pickle. He’s wanting to jump up on the couch next to me to make biscuits. (==”knead the blanket or cushion amidst much purring and concentration”) Being a cat, that complicates things. So he’s sitting on the ottoman looking at the empty spot on the lounge and meows at…
It’s happened – we’ve regressed to hurling feces again. And acid, which begs the question – will they catch more flies with one, or the other? Saddest thing is that I both have to agree, and also disagree, with this. The idea of a “WepCon 24” is pretty appalling and an indictment of the times…
This Sunday (15th) a new post in the Thin Tin Gent story, finally. The finagling little shi… Huh? What? I can’t? He’s providing us with this message service? Not even a little insult? Gah! This Sunday (15th) a new post in the Thin Tin Gent story, finally. The lovely and not at – . ….
A RETRACTION (of sorts): You know what? I’ve mentioned how little sardines in a tin are as good for your health as any more highly valued species and said that no-one bothers to cheat with the cheaper varieties, but I have to take it back.

AKA the potholes in your food highway. Have a read of that article – it sounds disgusting, doesn’t it? But that’s usually not the bit that worries you, it’s the pain and discomfort when (if) food lodges in them and becomes septic, which is called diverticulitis. It’s a similar thing to what happens in your…
Just a Quickie/Snippet – what streaming service(s) are you watching right now? Just asking because I’d like to know. Use the Comments section below. Enquiring minds need to know… Here’s the article I’ve just perused. TL;DR is that people are feeling the pinch from the supermarkets and energy companies they’re looking to save a bit…
For a quite interesting meal. Couscous is a mostly North African food, made from ground semolina wheat, and can be cold-soaked or steamed or cooked similarly to rice. The semolina flour is processed into fine grains. There’s also an “Israeli” version where it’s rolled into pearls about the size of baby peas. You can do…
Okay, this old curmudgeon looks like being around for a while. Maybe. But let’s get introductions happening first. For this category/section, not me. You’re gonna hear and see way too many stories from me. This section’s called “Not Today” which is – yeah – from the GoT series, the marvellous advice given to Aria by…
We had a taste – a lick and a promise, so to speak – of spring 2024 the last few days. Being antipodean, that officially started in September, but I’m writing this a week before the end of August, confusing innit? And I got stuff done! Sorry this is gonna sound like Dear Diary but…
Probably this is old news to many, but little fishies can pack a punch, even compared to more valued species. And not just for containing soya sauce or illicit liquids. There’s good old oily-fish Omega-3 involved, but also a lot of other factors to consider. It’s worth looking into. Size & Habit Besides the Omega-3…
