Thought of the day....why does my eggy bread (French toast) never taste like my mum's :/

Also I just woke up anyone having a lie in as the smoke alarm went off. Unfortunately I have mere seconds to waft at it before it sets the other two off in the flat :o

Probably because she makes it with butter? or different kinds of fat.

Don't be silly.

It's definitely due to a "mother's touch". Think it's something to do with atoms. But when a Mum and then her son make the same meal, same ingredidents, same method...the Mum's meal ALWAYS tastes incredible.
 
Just received an email from Gov.uk telling me my car test isn't going ahead on the 30th June, it was first booked for April 9th but Corona stopped that and now they're still not sure when tests will go ahead for non key workers :( ohh well I'll get round to doing it soon :)

I guess she may use vegetable oil instead of olive oil but definitely not butter. She doesn't use butter for any cooking or even as a spread (she's always used margarine..bleugh). I'm wondering if it's also that her egg fingers were always a bit more towards a charcoal kind of colour and mine werent lol.

@SideWinder true though there's actually only a few meals of my mum's that I like lol (bacon pudding, spag bol and eggy fingers)
everything else was always overcooked :o (hence why I cook Xmas dinner now ;) )

She always made a nice pie crust but my dad didn't like gravy so a steak pie would end up with chunks of stringy meat imbedded into the crust :( I'd of course pick out the meat and just eat the crust with veggies and gravy lol

yea same here... theres one in the kitchen and the kitchen is fairly long but narrow so they put it right near the centre of the kitchen... where the oven goes..

I can't even cook bacon without it going off, it's in no way practical.

they used to be one at the top of the stairs, one at the bottom of the stairs.

since that fire in london everyone went mental it seems, I assume it was nee government legislation that requites smoke alarms placed 2 feet apart covering the entire flats space.

I don't even live in a tower block... it makes 0 sense here.

the one in the kitchen is right above where the oven goes like WTF? then literally 2 feet away a second one in the living room.
does every room need a smoke alarm? its not even just a smoke alarm though is it because they are installed in pairs now...
I guess one detects cooking and the other detects human breath

we need a conspiracy theory that these alarms are really just harvesting details on what you cook etc to be sold to companies or used to blackmail when they notice some Muslim is cooking pork
 
Shielding for 10 weeks now and only saw/spoken in person to 4 people in total all of that time, when they dropped or I collected food/shopping. One of those is my GF, who stops by twice a week for a hello from the garden. Since I've been allowed out two weeks ago, we've been for one outdoor walk and keep planning a takeaway dinner/lunch in a park but that didn't happen due to last week's bad weather and our work shifts not working out.

I went to see a friend for coffee/snack in a park on Saturday as my one allocated meet, and my GF got mad (she was working that day), because my first proper trip out wasn't with her.

I don't know if she's overreacting or it was foolish on my part. Either way, I'm somehow now feeling guilty for having dared meet a friend after 10 weeks of almost no socilaising. I even postponed seeing another friend as a result.
 
@DB_SamX it's not foolish of you and yeah she's overreacting somewhat but emotions are bound to be running high in these current times.

I csn see both sides to it. You wanted to see a friend after isolating for so long and her disappointment is coming across as anger. Maybe try and see her before you meet with another friend though, just so you don't rock the boat ;) lol
 
Deactivated my Facebook account, because it makes me argumentative and toxic, and i've just got worse with all the political bull****tery going around at the moment, invariably posted by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Had an argument with an old friend, and decided that was the last straw for me... We will see how long I last - I keep habitually going to open it, and then remember why I can't find my shortcut. :rolleyes:

It was actually a bit of a pain, I had to un-link several accounts and create standalone logins, and I'm realising how inconvenient it is not having immediate access to technical car related pages, and how nice it was to see what the rare few friends who posted good content were up to.

Kind of scary how ingrained it becomes in so many peoples lives. One website, taking over the world.
 
Well, that's the house purchase pulled out at the last minute due to possible redundancy. Great way to spend £1500 with absolutely nothing to show for it! Partner probs losing her job in August too, just when our first is due to be born. Horray for 2020...This year needs to do one!
 
Just seen a popup on here and realised - I have a signature?!

Spring cleaning day otherwise, much dust but more to deal with.

That is properly rubbish, sorry :( I think it'd be my worst nightmare to be so close and not make it.
