Since we've all started working at home, the sickness rates at work have apparently gone way down. I think it's a mixture of people not getting sick, and people who're slightly sick continuing to log in because it's less effort than going in and they don't have to worry about infecting anyone else.

Roti are good though. I should probably try making some since I have loads of Atta flour I bought when I couldn't find decent white/bread flour.

You know what are good though? Frozen parathas - parathas are an Indian bread that again lots of people, even those who regularly eat Indian food, have never had. They're thicker than a rhoti/chapati and are layered with ghee. Look for "Shana" brand ones in the frozen section of your supermarket. You cook them straight from frozen in a medium-hot dry pan for ~3 mins and they come out drat-near as good as ones you'd get at a good restaurant. Frozen Naan are OK but nowhere near as good as restaurant ones. I think it's something to do with the fat content of paratha which makes the frozen ones cook so well.

Yeah, frozen Parathas are the best. I have two packs and they're great. There's a small grocers in Maidstone that has them.

The most recent Cap Brit book I read had Faiza take on the role

not suprised to learn that didn't last.

Is that from Captain Britain and MI 13? She's never Captain Britain. She wields Excalibur and it's her codename too, but Captain Britain is always Braddock.

Oh, according to Wikipedia she apparently briefly adopts the name in Age of Ultron as a sort of backup in case Braddock dies.

Second year of pay freeze for me coming up. We *might* get one in August/September instead of the usual April bump if things pick up by the summer. Sucks balls either way.

Same. Also paired with statement that we're doing much better than expected, which makes it galling.

Supermarket chat. I haven't been to the supermaket as much recently because I started getting meal boxes about half the time, but I went yesterday and I noticed it looking distinctly emptier. Not shortage levels, just noticeably emptier. Anyone noticed simillar?
