Cauliflower cheese is one of the most disgusting foods known to Man (or Jaeluni at any rate). The number of times my dad dished it up for our dinner as kids. That or macaroni cheese which is almost as gross.
I used to work at a pub that let us take Sunday leftovers home at the end of the night.

Cue me hungrily tucking into a pot of mac and cheese... only to find it was actually cauliflower cheese. I was very sad. :(

The thing with the UK is that it so desperately wants to be the USA, with its battalions of militarised cops with tanks and machine guns, and supermax prisons where you disappear into a hole for 100 years l, but we’re simply too loving cheap to even fund the repressive poo poo. Where does all the tax money go if it doesn’t even go to heavily armed robocops and AI Panopticons?

There's plenty of "solitary confinement in a superprison, then wrap that up in barbed wire and place it in the middle of another larger prison" confinement, but it's all full of Irish tradesmen who rented a van once in the 80s, so the actual spies with training from at least two state security services get put in "we're going to leave you in charge of the kitchen, don't walk out disguised as a sack of spuds pls" prison.

This is pretty massive - for those who don't know, the UK punches well above its weight in research, so this is access to a huge pool of money for UK research, and we get more back than we put in - as its more effective to do research here than in other places (Oxbridge does have its advantages).

Losing Horison access was a big part of several places shutting up their research faculties.

Ok as we’re dug into this subject I’m gonna ask the Goonmind. I am a good cook, if I say so myself , I enjoy cooking, I can make lovely food of all types. But I cannot get PORK loving CRACKLING to work. I’ve tried everything - you name it. Blazing hot oven, salting, oiling, boiling water, drying, pan frying , every loving technique and it STILL DOESNT WORK.

Here's my trick, the results can be uneven but I guarantee you'll get something crispy. It's also very easy. It's easier if you have an airfryer.

1. Select your pork cut - you need belly pork with a good amount of fat under the skin - think a cut out of Boris Johnson rather than Rees-Mogg

2. Night before - entire cut of pork goes into a pot of boiling water for 10 mins. Don't leave it too long or the fat renders out and it doesn't work.

3. Take pork out, make shallow slits on underside - this is to cut the connective tissue so it doesn't curl when it cooks - it'll have curled a bit from boiling so you know you've done it right when it lies flat.

4 You need to perforate the skin somehow now. Classic British is to cut crosshatches into it. The Chinese restaurants likely do it with a hand sander. I have tool which is essentially a bunch of nails rammed into a wooden handle. Apply liberally - the aim here being to breach the skin and let the oil from the fat bubble out when it's cooking, frying the skin. You don't want to go too deep since if you hit muscle it leaks water instead, making the skin soggy.

5. Season - lots of salt on the skin, whatever else you want on the other edges.

6. Keep uncovered in fridge overnight and take out 1 hr before cooking.

7. If using oven, apply a crust of salt to the skin and cook at ~140C fan for 30 mins. Then remove the salt crust and cook at 240C (or as high as your oven can go) for another 15-20 mins. You'll have to keep an eye on it for this last bit

8. If using an airfryer the steps are the same but you don't need the salt crust.

9. Rest for 10 mins and serve.

Nb this is for Chinese style crispy pork which is flat. No guarantees if you want yours rolled up.

Big Sainsburys do a taste the difference pork with crackling that is really easy, even a dickhead like me can cook it. Follow the instructions on the back EXACTLY (including the nonsense about patting dry and adding salt and leaving it for 10 minutes) and it comes out great.

I'm sure a good cook could do better, but it's good crackling mostly pre-prepared that you can't gently caress up.

You were right. It was a complete & utter fk up by plusnet. I have wasted 4 hours of my life including 2 hours on the phone to them this morning trying to get it sorted. Nothing but a flashing orange b on the router. Seems whoever was responsible on Monday for switching us 'forgot' to switch on the broadband and now they say they can't do it because they're not allowed to sell new lines but it isn't a new line it's the same fkr.
My line manager is fuming. She told me this morning to keep on the line until they sorted it, but it's not sortable. So we'll have no broadband in the office. As we're leaving in a couple of months we do not want a 24 month contract with anyone which seems to be all we can get. Even though she told me not to - because she's going to phone them & get it sorted (I said to her it won't be sorted, accept this fact) - I'm going to inquire further into the data sim / mifi / dongles thing.
(And bearing in mind I'm part-time and this little episode has taken a quarter of my paid hours which I have already exceeded this week in any case!)
Bah.

Meanwhile, in roast dinner chat:

I love a good stuffing. Did you ever have one of those turkeys stuffed with a duck, stuffed with another bird, stuffed with another bird? I had one once, it was 5 birds deep. It was wonderful, dense, intense.

It doesn't even go to the regular cops. I mean if I were going to be the Tories and enact Maximum Austerity for One Thousand Years I'd at least make sure to fund my hired goons, but they've been cutting their funding too. Tories are even bad at being fash.
