Jakabite posted:Camrath get on this and I PROMISE to stop forgetting to buy your lovely fudge I love the idea, but I’m not sure fudge would be firm enough to hold its shape outside the mould for something as small as a .303 Now a .50BMG, maybe.. Incidentally I’m currently pricing out moulds- if I were to offer solid fudge Easter Eggs, would people be interested?

kecske posted:do any of the other fudges have nuts in or would this be a foray into the exciting world of managing food allergens I’ve made peanut butter flavour in the past. Though I’m yet to use whole nuts. But between the dairy, the soy in my vegan flavours and several more specific allergens people have raised, I’m on top of it. My labelling is FSA compliant and I avoid cross contamination as much as is possible in a domestic kitchen.

Games wise, I’ve recently got into Elite Dangerous in VR. Given my appalling adhd it’s pretty sweet to have a game I can properly immerse myself in, and not be looking at my phone every two minutes. My wife calls it ‘space assholing’ and I can’t really disagree. Stick on a podcast, shut out the world and commit space war crimes. Hell yeah.

That would be the reference, yeah. My wife doesn’t really ‘do’ games, but is utterly obsessed with that song. And now it’s stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Two of my cats were rescued from our neighbourhood- Bobby was living in a Wendy house in next door’s garden because he didn’t get on with kids, or men or anything due to an abusive upbringing, and Rosa turned up yelling at my door last summer (as I’m sure a lot of you remember). Digby admittedly was a pedigree Maine coon, but we’d just lost our previous rehomed MC and really wanted another giant fluffy arsehole in our lives. We took great care to make sure his genetics weren’t a Gordian knot of cat incest, and as far back as we could find there’s been no interbreeding. He was our first wedding anniversary present to each other, the runt of his litter. Poor boy has anxiety and IBS due to issues with his mum (her milk dried up when he was still tiny- this was in the super hot summer of 2018). But given I have those same issues.. yeah. They are all dearly loved. Rosa rules our household and Bob is super-bonded to my wife and hates everyone and everything else. Here they are providing valuable help* with building some IKEA furniture *Not help at all, made the whole thing take twice as long.

Maugrim posted:Once you have your diagnosis and your meds have been appropriately adjusted (which will take a couple of follow-up appointments most likely) you can just take the prescription to your GP and, assuming they are cool with it which they mostly will be, get the drugs on the NHS. There’s a big ‘if’ there though. I’m prescribed Ritalin for ADHD and Buproprion as an off-label anti depressant. Together these come to about £90 a month with a private prescription. Some of you may remember me posting about the troubles I had with my London GP this time last year, where they ended up cutting me off and leaving me with zero reserves for reasons that they never bothered to explain. However today I finally plucked up the nerve to call the lovely GP in the next village over to see what could be done. Got a call-back from the Doctor himself in less than an hour, and was told ‘we need to figure out how to make this work, but we will. Have a month’s supply to be going on with.’ I don’t know if it’s possible, but if you do have issues getting prescriptions then changing GP can work wonders.

Bobstar posted:Gifted children don't need nurturing into super-geniuses, they need to be taught how to learn even though they seem to absorb everything easily. And maybe be checked for ADHD even though they're not "naughty" or "thick". Oh god so much this. I am (according to teachers, psychologists and other professionals) stupidly intelligent (the phrase is used advisedly). IQ (for what it’s worth) in the 160s, and up until GCSE level I never needed to actually study for a single thing in my life. I just soaked up knowledge like a sponge. And then everything utterly collapsed around me when I needed to understand rather than just know things. Never learned to study, turned out I have massive ADHD and autism, and suddenly finding myself floundering when I was ‘supposed’ to be achieving amazing things set off a whole host of comorbid MH poo poo. Add to that the fact my school at the time did streaming rather than setting (ie you got put in one ‘advanced’ class for everything if you were considered gifted) and the top stream in my year was loving toxic, and frankly I consider it something of a miracle I completed my schooling at all. Even then I had to retake one of my a-levels with a private tutor during my gap year (which took my grade from an E to a high B). If I’d have been born five years later I loving guarantee I would have had my various issues picked up on and been given support for them, rather than constantly being screamed at and punished for not applying myself. Sorry, got off topic there a bit. Absolutely not bitter twenty plus years later, no sir. Edit: 1995 was when I was put into the above mentioned top stream, and one of the worse years of my life.

Surprise T Rex posted:My (incredibly poo poo, now-closed) secondary school had a "Gifted and Talented" program, where we'd get to tour local universities and stuff. Echoing the wish for practical training. When I was a young teen I wanted to be a gunsmith; I’ve mentioned before how I made a musket for my GCSE cdt design-and-make, and still feel if I’d been allowed to continue along that path I would have probably ended up much happier (and probably much richer) in adult life. But hey, now I make fudge instead, which is by far the most satisfying job I’ve had in my life. And frankly, at an hourly rate it’s sure as hell not badly paying either. I earned more p/h as a personal trainer but I loving /sucked/ at finding clients.

Failed Imagineer posted:Can you not combine interests and make a fudge gun? This can be either a gun made of fudge or a gun that shoots fudge, I'm not particular Fudge as a projectile would be theoretically possible, if pointless. You’d have to create some sort of sabot for it. Or I guess, fudge shotgun slugs. I’ve shot wax shells before which weren’t /that/ much harder than some of the batches I’ve made. Toffee would work better. Red Oktober posted:After-workout fudge recovery bars. You know it can be a thing. Do it. Genuinely considered this.

stev posted:Bring the full force of the FSA down on them like a tonne of bricks. I hold a 5*, and it is... not difficult to get. At all. And I’m a loving slob at the best of times. It’s certainly made me a lot warier of where I eat. Like have (and use) hand washing facilities, a cleaning system and practice sensible food storage. That’s literally all you really need to do. If you combine that with HACCP paperwork and understanding then you almost have to consciously try to get a low rating.

stev posted:If I was to hypothetically spend all my money on these as a gift, would I be safe to keep it hidden at room temperature until Easter weekend? I don't know much about fudge storage. It'll be fine at reasonable room temperatures until the end of April, but the texture will be even nicer if kept in the fridge. The vanilla in particular is soft and benefits from being kept cold.

All outstanding fudge orders will ship at 1400 today- so if you want to ensure you’ll have delicious goodies in time for Easter, time to head over to https://www.fudjit.co.uk and make it happen! I’ll be shipping next week, but with the postal service being what it is I can’t guarantee parcels will make it before the holiday. Cheers

Darth Walrus posted:BTW, Camrath, fudge arrived, and one minor complaint - each bag was a single slab rather than individual chunks, making sharing it amongst the family a tad more challenging. Feedback is noted. For the record, the reason for the switch to slabs is that people were already cutting the chunks into smaller pieces (quite wisely; each chunk was about 100cal on it’s own!). Given that it’s being cut smaller already for consumption, putting it in slabs means less surface area to expose to the air and thus increased shelf life. It’s also a lot easier to pack, and spare me the sniggering at the back of the class. :p

Darth Walrus posted:Ah, fair enough, no worries, then. We'll survive, I'm sure. It’s an experiment- most parcels should drop today, so I’m waiting to see what the general response is. If people hate it, then I’ll be straight back to doing chunks
