A stacking vegetable steamer not only saves precious counter and hob space for tastier, fried foods, but means you can cook all your veg without really having to do anything.

Kale is good when you marinade it in a lil soy sauce/tamari (actually I prefer to use Trader Joe's Soyaki sauce or something similar), and then bang em into the air-fryer until they're a lil crispy. God tier zero-cal snack

I spoke to my dad earlier about visiting for Christmas, now we're no longer going to central Birmingham for Christmas dinner at a restaurant :wtc: he asked what I wanted him to get from the supermarket we can cook at home. He didn't seem to accept 'all the veg and some gravy, that's all we need' as an answer.

Also I have already made the tiffin and the cinnamon cookies, that's all anyone needs at this very special time of year

We just sensuously massage kale with oil then roast it in a low oven until crispy. Delicious.

ROAST your sprouts (and broccoli and cauliflower). Roasting is best.

If we’re still doing it here is my Xmas green veg cooking tip.

Mini broccoli / sliced sprouts / Savoy cabbage. (Or your own personal favourites).

Stir fry in butter until slightly charred , then throw in one chopped clove of garlic and cook for one further minute.

Then pour in a tiny drizzle of water, take off the heat and slam on a lid. Let it steam for a few minutes until the water is gone.

My mother's Christmas veg recipes: boil everything, and if you can't fit all the saucepans on the hob, microwave it.

The only correct way to eat kale is from a Chinese takeaway where it has been deep fried and is called 'cripsy seaweed'. Zero vitamin content and all the fat of a doughnut, but in a vegetable beloved by health and wellness influencers.

Yeah it's complete loving nonsense:

quote:

Mr Justice Nicklin was asked to consider whether serious harm had been caused to Ms Riley's reputation, and whether Ms Murray had a defence of truth, honest opinion, or public interest.

"This case is unusual," said the judge, who previously ruled Ms Murray's tweet to be defamatory, in a written ruling on Monday. "It turns, largely, on two tweets: the good advice tweet and the defendant's tweet. I have found that the publication of the defendant's tweet has caused serious harm to the claimant's reputation, and I have rejected the defendant's defences. The claimant is therefore entitled to a sum in damages."

He added that Ms Murray's tweet had misrepresented what Ms Riley had tweeted. Yet he rejected Ms Riley's argument that Ms Murray had been "motivated by any improper purpose".

While not "bad conduct", he said Ms Riley's tweet could be viewed as "provocative, even mischievous".

"There is a clear element of provocation in the good advice tweet, in the sense that the claimant must have readily appreciated that the meaning of the good advice tweet was ambiguous and could be read as suggesting, at least, that Jeremy Corbyn deserved to be egged because of his political views," he concluded. "The claimant can hardly be surprised - and she can hardly complain - that the good advice tweet provoked the reaction it did, including the defendant's tweet."

Such context, he said, was taken into consideration when deciding on the amount of damages she would receive.
So he accepts that when riley re-tweeted an image that said 'don't be a nazi if you don't want to get egged' after corbyn got egged, she was being provocative and making a statement that could be interpreted as meaning 'corbyn got egged because he's a nazi', however when corbyn's aide responded by saying that riley called corbyn a nazi, she was defaming riley and unjustly injuring her reputation, but also the response was understandable and riley knowingly provoked it, so therefore she only gets relatively small damages.

What the gently caress :psyduck:.

British libel law seems so genuinely toxic. You can basically just say what you want if you can afford a better lawyer than whoever you're spouting off about, but they can't even call you a oval office without you taking their house.

English libel law differentiates between opinions and statements

Riley implied corbs was a nazi, Murray stated riley said he was a nazi

It's dumb but that's how it works. Libel laws also don't need the person claiming libel to prove that damages occurred, it's just a given

It's poo poo, and why libel tourism is a thing

Riley probably knew exactly what she was doing, the aide not so much
