the two pain au chocolat they've waited 20 starving minutes for is going to cost six loving quid.

making pains au chocolat by hand is a literal multi-day process so yeah I can see them being on the expensive side, as opposed to a cake where you chuck all the ingredients in the mixer and then chuck it in the oven for half an hour

I had never even loving heard of a uk new deal until she brought it up. What kind of freak actually remembers new labour shite?

Centrist Labour MPs remember New Labour shite like it's a loving mantra or something.
Imagine their living rooms being a wall of screens all showing Blair speeches like the Monkey Dust sketch, except Blair's just talking about killing muslims and deregulating the banks over and over again.

Today was yet another eight hour grind, which I somehow still consistently have even during a pandemic, except I have no change of scenery, social events or energy to invest in hobbies, and I might have had a little cry.

So tomorrow I'm going to really put in the effort. I'm going to blast through the first two hours when I'm feeling fresh, then really commit to just loving off the entire rest of the day to play videogames. It's a big change, but I know I can do it.

I made Seitan... and it was good.

Used the washed flour method: flour + water = big ball of dough, i let it soak for 18 hours then rinsed all the starch out(i'm not so good at making pancakes out of the starch as it acts like cornflour).

This following bit is all to give it texture & flavour so you can skip this involved bit if you want to:
Kneaded it then stretched it out, cut into cubes, mixed in herbs & spices i had about then kneaded it again, cut into strips and braided it together and soaked again for 2 hours followed by a final stretch and tying it into a lot of knots and forming it into a tight ball.

Simmer for 90minutes in stock of your choice and let rest over night to toughen up.

Eat as is or flour & shallow fry for something nice.

I'm not even vegetarian/vegan. :shrug:

Don't know what you're doing but solidarity, even working from home in a relatively cushty job has been pretty loving poo poo for me so far, pretty much exactly as you say as well. Just always tired, stressed and no change.

It takes time to make it in that you do a bit and leave it for hours then do a bit more, actually working with the dough through all stages might have taken me an hour and a half at most, though i suppose in todays world that might be considered extreme.

Going to add it to my meal choices for the time being.

edit: It tastes nothing like chicken to my palate, it's its own thing which is fine by me.

Since you were asking mehall, I joined the discord and have dropped in a few times, but I can't seem to find time for it. Whenever I go in you peeps seem to be having fun and I'm guessing you're half doing something else at the same time (watching justified) but I am absolutely poo poo at multitasking or even switching mid task and expecting to go back to the original task with my head in the same place as it was.

Be careful what you wish for.

I actually quit my last job because I had too much free time, and I had an existential crisis about whether just playing video games / watching movies all day while occasionally waggling my mouse so my Teams status remained 'active' was actually how I wanted to spend my career.

I might be a loving idiot.

Ha! Actually my favoured trick was to 'accidentally' leave my status set to 'away', so then I appeared away even when I was talking to people etc., so no one could ever tell whether I was truly away or not.

It was mainly because my wife works from home as well, for a charity, and she's super busy for eight hours per day doing all sorts of worthy things, so I just felt a bit ashamed of myself.

The pro move here would be to start taking on part of your wife's job and then you both take half the day off

Funnily enough I did once have an Irish guy knock on my door and offer to buy my car because he'd noticed that the tax disc had expired. I assumed that he was a dodgy car dealer, but maybe it's a genetic thing.

Is that why they got rid of tax discs then? They found a way to extract the innate Irish sense of whether a car's tax is expired?

And they said it was The Computer what did it.
