If any of you have unreconstructed luddite friends who refuse to have truck with any form of messengers, zoom, whatsapps etc yet always manage to call you when you're having a snooze so you have to call them back at extortionate mobile phone rates, I discovered this site yesterday where you can make free calls. I called a friend earlier on it and got 4 minutes: https://www.poptox.com/free-international-calls Availability is not guaranteed. I made my call before the USA got up. (NB miss out the 0 after the country code unlike with skype. So if it's a UK call to London: +44 208 NOT +44 0208 (don't worry it will tell you the number is wrong if you put that 0 in.) Merry Crimble.

Jose posted:Merry Christmas I can confirm this. I live near a couple of pheasant shoots, and more of them end up being splatted on the roads than shot. I've killed a few that have been stood on the side of the road and decided to dodge into the path of my car. The meat's pretty much worthless. The paying shooters don't want to dirty up the inside of their 20-plate range rovers with dead pheasant, and the gamekeepers sometimes struggle to even give the birds away. I'm pretty sure most of them end up as dogfood.

OwlFancier posted:Would olive oil work? I thought it had too low of a smoke point. Never tried making yorkies with it, vegetable oil or lard is all I've ever known to be used. If your oven can get oil to its smoke point then I'd be pretty impressed. Olive oil should be fine as long as you're OK with the flavour. e: I looked it up and olive oil can have a smoke point as low as 190C, so I guess there's a small chance. Should still be fine as long as you're not using the really expensive stuff. Wolfsbane fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Dec 25, 2020 |

The Perfect Element posted:Hey man. That sounds bad. I hope you're OK. I hope you're not entirely serious (or at all serious) , but if you are then please don't do anything drastic, but just shitpost here instead. I had a delicious breakfast and have managed to stave off any thoughts of seriousness. I’ve just had a really, really, really poo poo year and I don’t see it getting any better, but shitposting here has definitely helped. Thank u kind goon

Given this year I'd rather go for the ocean floor vent. So after eating way too much Chinese last night... I'm entirely not hungry and thanks to the acid blockers haven't digested any of it! Boo! Hopefully I'll be hungry by 6pm =( Have a lovely day goons. Just opened loads of presents on the bed from various relatives and now trying to not fall asleep under a pile of cats and cat related presents. We got sent 5 cat mugs!

Deketh posted:Thanks mate, I'll go with the the light then Personally I'd not, because to get a proper Yorkie you need the fat at whatever the highest temp your oven can do when you pour the batter in, and olive oil's smoke point is somewhere below that. Having said that a lot of the oil gets absorbed into the batter (you know you've done it perfectly when there's just a teeny tiny bit of oil/fat at the bottom of the tray) which is why beef dripping is best, coconut oil might give it a bit of a weird taste. One trick I've used is sunflower oil with like a tiny corner of an oxo cube thoroughly mixed in (or just some of the beef juices if you're cooking beef) to give it a bit of flavour.

Extra virgin olive oil has a much lower smoke point than light. Wikipedia has a great smoke point time I've started on the booze before eating today it's going to get messy

Hmm now I don't know what to do, I don't really want to taste coconut oil and I don't want to burn the olive oil. I have some Trex in the fridge, I don't know why, is that a decent option?

Trex is vegan lard, so that should be perfect. Might try it myself actually. I plan to make this later, assuming I can be bothered: https://vegsoc.org/recipes/woodland-pie/

Olive oil is fine, the thing about getting it really sizzling before you pour the batter in is unproven, what has been demonstrated is resting your batter for as long as possible (even a day or more) gives a consistently better rise and texture.

This happened in my grandparents part of Ireland when I was kid 40 years ago. We would go visit them once a week, and you would get pheasants jump flying across the road in front of you. I think we hit a few and took them home to eat, but not sure, memory is hazy. Don't see them nowadays though, they must be extinct in the area

that reminds me, there is a sticker with a helpline number on my 1990s tumble drier that i am tempted to ring every time i use it just to see if someone is still there do any of yous remember those adverts for batchelors in the 1990s with the lady and the bloke who manned the helpline but were bored because nobody rang (because batchelors food is so easy to make)!!!!!!! and there was a real number you could ring and speak to people who said they were the people in the ad

Thing is, it's stuff we're going to eventually eat anyway, we just don't have to go to the shops for it as often. I'm actually thinking of doing the same thing again to cut down on trips to the supermarket at the weekends over the year. Not sure on the environmental impact though, like we've got a new freezer running 24/7 in the garage, but does that offset the half hour drive to and from the supermarket?
