I love my garlic press! When cooking batch meals, if you wanna taste the garlic, then you've got to add several cloves. My press does 2 or 3 at once, keeps the fingers clean, and the press capsule inside lifts out for easy cleaning. I'm amazed that more people don't love them, although clearly it does give you garlic with a different texture which I guess effects how it cooks. Maybe it burns faster.

I've become a true coffee snob over the last year. I was fine with instant coffee but have slowly moved over to now having freshly ground pour over coffee and holy poo poo is it night and day. I ran out of coffee beans last week and had to go back to instant for a couple of days and it loving sucks.

I usually prefer it with milk but that's also gone so I'm drinking black coffee with sweetener because there's no sugar left either. There is a coffee vending machine but that's turned off because I'm the only one on the upper 2 floors.

Toby Young has never shied away from aligning himself with the most tedious available evil, and the small matter that right now that's a virus wiping out a significant percent of the population through inaction is not going to stop him.

Fun cooking tale: I realised in our rented place that the Dutch standard oven is very small, tries to be an oven and a microwave in one, and is terrible at both. When we got our house, I had "replace oven with proper one" high on the list, but have instead ended up buying specialised gadgets to replace the oven's functions: bread machine, counter-top pizza oven (fed with dough from the bread machine), air fryer (night and day with oven chips), microwave. The only things I do in the oven now are pasta bakes (fine) and scones (could be better but meh). All of this was cheaper than replacing the oven

First time I've been single in a long time and I have no idea what to do. Gave Tinder a look but thought it wasn't for me. I'm on the fence about messaging people I kind of know as with no lockdown end in sight I can see conversations just going round in circles. Usually I just chat to people out and about, but as that's not an option I'm at a bit of a loss. I guess I should just wait, but I miss flirting and getting to know someone and all that. What is a healthy alternative before I order one of those anime girl body pillows or marry a lamp?

learnincurve posted:This is one of those thing which highlights the massive gender divide in the workplace. Men in any job anywhere can very easily get a set of clippers and do a buzz cut, there are very very very few jobs where it’s acceptable for women to do the same. Women with long hair can go a while without a haircut but those of us with short hair get to week 8 and then BAM, looks like poo poo, and women can’t get away with that at work. First - yes, haircuts and makeup are ESSENTIAL to a lot of women in terms of their own self-esteem etc.. My sister, for example, spends an hour or more every morning on her hair and makeup (and she has a WFH permanently job!). There's evidence that female cancer patients at least feel better if not get better from having hair and makeup done. (I'm not one of these women though I'm considering plastering my face in tinted moisturizer for my 'birthday' zoom or facetime (I've been lent an old ipad because my mother just can't get her head round anything except facetime otherwise I have iThingummies banned from my dwelling but I digress) because seeing myself close up on an ipad was not a thing a of beauty. Second - there are employers who consider full face makeup and a hairdo an essential part of women's business dress. In fact Cosmopolitan (?) magazine some years ago did an experiment where they sent the same CV to various recruiters and the same women with or without makeup to interviews. Most of the recruiters said the one WITHOUT makeup was 'unprofessional' or 'trying to make herself look more honest by not wearing makeup so therefore she was dishonest'. It was quite enlightening. So the last few job interviews I went to I put a bit of slap on (something obvious like a bit of eyeshadow). There's also that whole thing about women being required to wear 'court shoes' (I had no idea what a court shoe was until the big case a couple of years ago), ie a smooth shoe with a 2" heel. If you're a women with ginormous feet (eg me - size 10 UK, size 12.5 US, size 44 Europe) getting hold of such shoes is an expensive nightmare involving not only expensive shoes that would cost £9.99 in ShoeExpress or wherever, but also a lot of expense in sending back shoes that don't fit or trips to London to Chiltern St where the large size ladies' shoe shops hang out. (And don't say Evans because their shoes are terrible, cut for people with absolutely huge ankles so they flop about like floppy about things).

I made a cake yesterday though! It's basically just banana bread but made into a sandwich cake with tahini buttercream because himself is allergic to peanuts. Very tasty and it'll last us a few days as a sweet treat. There's something satisfying about making food.
