To quote an ex colleague the vegan cauliflower curry was "not that bad actually" I followed the comments and did a teaspoon of the spices rather than half (except the coriander as I don't overly like it) and it turned out well :)

never liked cauliflower but had afew pre made vegan products with it so i am going to invest in one next time i shop ,the oven baking method sounds ok but think i will try the air fryer ,will be a change from lentil or chick pea or soya mince currys . the chick peas and lentils are great for protein though 16 grams a tin for the chick peas and very cheap.
growing my own spinach so chuck that in as well

I could still slightly taste the cauliflower but the spices were enough to make it taste ok
Here's the recipe in case you wanted it :) https://www.thecandidadiet.com/recipe/cauliflower-curry/

@Mrs Seabiscuit I didn't get around to making the baps last night so made them this morning and they are currently in the oven. I did read somewhere though that baking soda works well in place of the yeast. This is my first attempt though lol
 
Cheers will give it a bash , Afew things in there I don't have but gives me an idea of the method, I have Afew vegan cook books but the stuff seems so complex I don't attempt
 
I am bored so editing old photos, a little reminder to myself what life used to be like lol

Does reaching into your halogen oven make your arms look like you self-harm? (Especially with the extention hoop fitted.)

I really need to start using the tong thing to lift stuff out of it.
 
What do you do when even under lockdown you feel like society is crowding you? Housemate came home from his parents yesterday, my nice little bubble of home life has been burst :P

If its old strings, like Unluckybenski says, change them first, clean the frets while you are at it. put a bit of pencil graphite shaving into the nut.

Changed the strings and that seems to have done the trick for the fret buzz. Not sure if i put them on correctly though as the strings wrap around 1 or 1 & 1/2 times. and i have about 6-8 inches of spare string.

It tunes fine so far though.

Spare string isn't relevant, your strings might have been fitted to a Strat, a Les Paul, a left handed Strat or a guitar with a 6 inch tailpiece needing extra length. Just cut it off. So long as you have a full wrap around the tuner post MINIMUM, it'll be ok.

I measure 3 fingers' thickness past the post and put a bend in the string there. Then that bend becomes the point I insert it through the hole to.

Do you mean he had been staying with them when lockdown started? If so I wouldn't have thought that he was allowed to return to where you are (Obviously bit late now) as he's been in contact with other people that could be asymptomatic.

My back is agony today :/ put some gel on and my back "support belt" but it hasn't really eased much. I also feel really chilly, yet people are saying it's meant to be a scorcher today :confused: according to my phone it's only 13 °C lol

Gonna get an early lunch and snuggle on the sofa with my fur babies :)

Yep, he was up there for mother's day. It's been bliss actually, just 2 of us in the house and so peaceful. He doesn't communicate at all, it took 2 weeks for us to realise he wasn't coming home and yesterday he just turned up again. It's not a very homely way to treat people you live with.

I'm freezing too, went round closing all the windows and I might even get a jumper out :eek:
 
Bought a house (red Swedish shed) yesterday... Hasn't even sunk in... Signing papers on Monday. All happened a bit fast.... lol
