Congrats on your good steak taste at least, yeah filet is a waste of money IMO. I never bother with anything other than rump steak, even sirloin is... dubiously worthwhile imo. Filet seems to be mostly for people who can't cook and try to cremate everything. And yeah, no fat, so you can't do a nice batch of mushrooms or whatever with it.

Fillet is great for a Beef Wellington, but that's about it. Properly cooked sirloin is a hard to beat for a good steak.

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Ehh, it's not so bad, those are all things you can get in shops. It's the "one stick of celery" thing that gets me, cos you can only buy celery in bunches and then you have a bunch of celery minus one stick in your fridge till it goes all soft and spooky and you have to throw it away.

A former boyfriend insisted he was going to cook for me which involved buying all the ingredients. I said to him "don't assume I have anything". He trotted off to Sainsburys and came back with bulging carrier bags. 10 minutes later, a wail from the kitchen "Where's your oil?" I did tell him not to assume I have anything.

Easy solution is just don't use celery in anything because it's a worthless plant unfit for consumption.

Or if you absolutely must, you can easily use the other sticks in a million different stews, soups and sauces to fill them out a bit and add some crunch, just as long as they have a strong enough flavour to hide the disgusting celery taste. Let's not even get started on celeriac, the knobbly turnip that tastes like a dustbin.

I'm going to start fermenting some vegetables, because I always have some left over cooking for two and it seems like a waste to compost or worse bin them. Also because it seems more interesting than making full batches and freezing half, even if 'interesting' just means 'what your great grandma did before freezers'.

Yeah, there's a lot of that.

The method I heard recently to teach people if it's the flu is this -

Imagine someone text you right now and said they'd left £50 in an envelope for you on your front step.
If you don't go right now, someone else will probably find it.

If you don't have the energy to get up for the money, it's the flu.

For real. I had proper flu once and it was poo poo. If you don't feel like you've been hit by a truck (and I mean, literally - all of your muscles, joints and bones ache and you have zero energy at all) then it's probably not the flu.

Yeah I'm immunocompromised, violently allergic to most antibiotics and my lungs have felt like I've been inhaling chlorinated air for a couple of days, so something's down there. It's probably not Corona, but it's never far from my mind that this might be something my body can't fight off if I get it. My parents are in a dangerous age with pre-existing conditions and I wonder if I'll get to see them.

I feel like there was a time a couple of years ago I'd have thought about chickens coming home to roost for the bitter gammons but somehow it feels real to me now in a way it didn't before and lord knows I've shitposted in this very thread about Coronavirus because what the gently caress can any of us really *do*, but selfish self-preservation has started to kick in and make me just feel really sad about the whole thing.

It feels good to be right but not so good I'm happy about anyone who's wrong dying. Feels like I could've done a better job convincing them than hoping the tidal wave that hits me, hits them first.

I remember in Year 5 the Head telling some kid with really quite cruel scorn that they were not off school the day before because of the flu because the flu would not keep you away for one day and see you fairly healthy on either side of it.

I mean, he was right, but the kid was ten, there was no need to be a twat to a ten year old about it in front of the rest of us when they were definitely just repeating what their mum had said or whatever.

Aren't you due to visit london in a few days? If I were in your shoes I'd be cancelling the gently caress out of that

Edit: a scary read https://threader.app/thread/1237142891077697538

(by the way I seriously feel like i might have suddenly become one of those doomsday nutters who thinks he can see things other people aren't seeing, prepping and not sleeping and watching the news constantly like an madman, and hanging on to every unverified twitter story. Have I gone mad? Maybe I've gone mad. But this poo poo seriously has me thinking we're about to go through an unprecedented national disaster that will change life forever, and it seems like barely anyone is noticing or caring)

quote:

From a well respected friend and intensivist/A&E consultant who is currently in northern Italy:
1/ ‘I feel the pressure to give you a quick personal update about what is happening in Italy, and also give some quick direct advice about what you should do.

2/ First, Lumbardy is the most developed region in Italy and it has a extraordinary good healthcare, I have worked in Italy, UK and Aus and don’t make the mistake to think that what is happening is happening in a 3rd world country.

3/ The current situation is difficult to imagine and numbers do not explain things at all. Our hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid-19, they are running 200% capacity

4/ We’ve stopped all routine, all ORs have been converted to ITUs and they are now diverting or not treating all other emergencies like trauma or strokes. There are hundreds of pts with severe resp failure and many of them do not have access to anything above a reservoir mask.

5/ Patients above 65 or younger with comorbidities are not even assessed by ITU, I am not saying not tubed, I’m saying not assessed and no ITU staff attends when they arrest. Staff are working as much as they can but they are starting to get sick and are emotionally overwhelmed.

6/ My friends call me in tears because they see people dying in front of them and they con only offer some oxygen. Ortho and pathologists are being given a leaflet and sent to see patients on NIV. PLEASE STOP, READ THIS AGAIN AND THINK.

7/ We have seen the same pattern in different areas a week apart, and there is no reason that in a few weeks it won’t be the same everywhere, this is the pattern:

8/ 1)A few positive cases, first mild measures, people are told to avoid ED but still hang out in groups, everyone says not to panick
2)Some moderate resp failures and a few severe ones that need tube, but regular access to ED is significantly reduced so everything looks great

9/ 3)Tons of patients with moderate resp failure, that overtime deteriorate to saturate ICUs first, then NIVs, then CPAP hoods, then even O2.
4)Staff gets sick so it gets difficult to cover for shifts, mortality spikes also from all other causes that can’t be treated properly.

10/ Everything about how to treat them is online but the only things that will make a difference are: do not be afraid of massively strict measures to keep people safe,

11/ if governments won’t do this at least keep your family safe, your loved ones with history of cancer or diabetes or any transplant will not be tubed if they need it even if they are young. By safe I mean YOU do not attend them and YOU decide who does and YOU teach them how to.

12/ Another typical attitude is read and listen to people saying things like this and think “that’s bad dude” and then go out for dinner because you think you’ll be safe.

13/ We have seen it, you won’t be if you don’t take it seriously. I really hope it won’t be as bad as here but prepare.

I make a lot of pickled cucumber kimchi. It's hard to gently caress it up honestly. I've yet to make pickled korean Radish that didn't make my entire fridge smell like farts after a week. Delicious though. Just a bit farty.

Also chiming in: Ribeye best steak cut for steak. I also grind it to make pretty much the best burgers I've ever had. I might be a monster for doing that but I've not had as good results with any other cut and it's still wayyyyy cheaper than buying a burger anywhere out.
