It seems a bit counterproductive buying a device (machine A) that produces things fast…
My top time saving tip is very simple, lots of recipes call for boiling water but when I watch the kettle it seems to never boil!
So I fill the kettle with water and wait for the click, then, when you have your boiling water place it in a suitable container and then freeze it, then when you need boiling water just take it out and bingo!
**note** I’m not allowed in the kitchen very often.

Pearl Barley is great in soup and stews, Mother used to use it a lot to make a rabbit go round all us hungry kids, the rabbit obviously was always poached.
so is celery although I cannot abide it raw!
If your cooking time is twenty mins then just pre boil it in water, you should always pre boil pb anyway because it can contain toxins, Mothers rule was cooked for an hour after soaking overnight but food standards have moved on since those days.

Don’t forget to have a dump before midnight so you don’t carry the same sh1t into next year.

Oh dear oh dear, I wonder how a certain ‘member’ is going to react to today’s Guardian, I anticipate that Owen Jones is possibly occupying an ICU bed in close proximity to that LBC muppet oft quoted!
QuoteBREXIT *I’ve got news for those who say Brexit is a disaster: it isn’t. That’s why rejoining is just a pipe dream*
*writes Larry Elliott, The Guardian Economics Editor*
Tue 5 Dec 2023 07.00 GMT*_Many still hanker for how things were: but looking across the Channel, it’s completely illogical to do that_*
_*Brexit is a dead issue at Westminster.* There are any number of issues where it is hard to separate Labour and the Conservatives, and the reluctance to reopen the 2016 referendum debate is one of them. As with tax and spending, Keir Starmer is broadly offering continuity Rishi Sunak._
_*That doesn’t mean the debate about leaving is over.* Plenty of people still nurture the hope that the decision will be reversed and are working to that end. But any successful campaign would need to do two things: convince voters that the UK economy had become a basket case since the Brexit vote and that life for those still in the club was so much better._
_*Neither criterion has been met.* Britain’s economic performance in the seven years since 2016 has been mediocre but not the full-on horror show that was prophesied by the remain camp during the weeks leading up to the referendum. The doomsday scenario – crashing house prices (falls of up to 18% could result, warned then chancellor George Osborne) and mass unemployment – never happened._
_*What’s more, after the inevitable disruption caused by leaving, there have been signs of the economy adjusting*. Nissan’s decision to invest more than £1bn in its Sunderland plant with the intention of building three new electric car models is an example of that. Microsoft’s £2.5bn investment in the growing UK AI sector is another._
_*That’s not to say that the process is complete*. _Brexit provided opportunities to do things differently but those opportunities have so far not been exploited. It is a lot easier for a giant Japanese car company to make the Brexit transition than it is for a small food and drink exporting company faced with loads more red tape.
But while it is convenient for those who have never quite got over being on the losing side in the referendum to brand Brexit a disaster, the reality is that it hasn’t been. Covid-19 scarred the economy deeply and the long-term costs of ill health and children missing out on school will grow over time. Even so, Brexit Britain has recovered more strongly than either France or Germany from the pandemic. Relative performance matters. The rejoin camp tends not to focus on what is happening on the other side of the Channel, and it is not hard to see why._

How's Indian chicken doing
Not sure tbh, unlike others on here I’m not so desperate for info that I post without reading an article.
I can however state with a strong degree of probability that chicken from the Indian sub continent is not being served on that well known River Class Warship HMS 7 whilst she still is in active service today, nor do I presume said chicken pieces will be part of the delicacies enjoyed by those attending the next mountain oyster celebrations.

“Since Brexit wasn’t the cause of the UK’s inflationary cost of living issues, going back into the bloc (full membership or just the Single Market) won’t alleviate these problems.
In fact, many EU / Eurozone countries are suffering from an as bad, worse, or even considerably worse inflationary cost of living crisis than the UK.
The current cost of living crisis is a worldwide phenomenon and so includes many EU countries, whose citizens are experiencing just as bad or even worse cost of living crisis as their counterparts in the UK, including comparable economies like France and Spain, where a recent study found that a basket of the same 23 everyday food and household items was pricier in these two countries than the UK.
A study by economist Michael Saunders for research body Oxford Economics says that examining a range of food and drink prices, UK prices are typically 7% below the EU average-with bread, meat, and fish in particular relatively cheap. The study shows the UK’s competitive supermarket sector plays a role in keeping prices down.
By contrast, before 2015 (when the UK was still in the EU Single Market) on average groceries were pricier in the UK than in the EU.”

The Liverpool manager flies to Kabul to watch a young Afghani play football. He is suitably impressed and arranges for the player to come over.
Two weeks later Liverpool are 2-0 down to Newcastle with only 20 minutes left The manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod, and on he goes.
The lad is a sensation. He scores 3 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Liverpool . The fans are delighted, the players and the coach are delighted and the media love the new star.
When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in English football.
'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today, we were 2 - 0 down but I scored 3, they call it a hat-trick, and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the press, they all love me.'
'Just wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day …
Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were ambushed and assaulted, she would have been raped but for a passing police vehicle.Your brother has joined a local gang of looters and set fire to some buildings and all while you tell me that you were having a great time!!'
The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm really sorry.'
Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' says his mum.
'It's your bloody fault we came to Liverpool in the first place!'-

An old Pilot sat down in Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.She turned to the pilot and asked, ‘Are you a real pilot?’
He replied, ‘Well, I’ve spent my whole life flying biplanes, Cubs, Aeronca’s, Neiuports, flew in WWII in a B-29, and later in the Korean conflict, taught 50 people to fly and gave rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot – what about you?’
She said, ‘I’m a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.’
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked, ‘Are you a real pilot?’
He replied, ‘I always thought I was, but I just found out I’m a lesbian.’

Yes i'm mortgage free, and these interest rate rises are fabulous for my savings.
Are you saying the value of your house didn’t fall by 30% following Brexit Ant?
I thought it was just mine that’s continued to rise.

Does that mean i've missed the s**t hitting the fan? Bugga I was looking forward to that.
You, me and Gozzer as well, Gozzer had a brilliant idea for a fan cleaning business a few years ago. I thought it would be a great help for the thousands and thousands of people who lost their jobs the day after Brexit.

Remember that the OBR estimated that the GDP loss - due to exiting the EU - will be 4 per cent of GDP by 2030.
What they forgot to mention is that In 2005 Gordon Brown estimated the cost of EU regulations, is in excess of 7% of total GDP every year.
By 2030 that would total 49% of GDP - ie over 12 times the OBR’s estimate of loss - which is why we need to press ahead with the repeal of many legacy EU regulations.
But the gains from leaving the EU are becoming clearer, in the form of policies that would have been legally or psychologically impossible to execute while part of the EU.
The AUKUS agreement would be a no go if the U.K. remained, and that is just one of many.
