  1. That bacon looks superb, nice and thick with a good amount of fat for crisping up. Overall very nice.
  2. Lunch today which I have not made for a while. My homemade soda bread (made yesterday) with french onion soup made yesterday and left overnight in the fridge which I find makes it taste even better. Crusted the bread in the air fryer, topped with a strong melty cheese and cut into croutons. Voila!
  3. Agreed with other posters. Could either be a cyst or an abscess, unlikely one will never know how it occurred unless you carry out some minor surgery by cutting open the growth and finding a foreign body (FB) to confirm a possible cause of the growth. It could have been caused by trauma or natural occurrence from cell destruction within the inner tissue by the immune system response to a host bacteria, that is the most common cause of abscess formation. Other external causes such as a blocked feather duct can also cause abscess formation, the same as blocked hair ducts can in humans. Animals in many ways are not unlike humans in their pathophysiology. Best thing for it to be out of it's way as it would of sooner likely succumbed in some way. Don't fancy JKD recipe suggestion, nothing like a spurting prurulent abscess to put you off yer fodder!
  4. 1825 please so I can go back and meet Frederick Chopin Re the pasta machine ,a friend has one of these, I know it is a Philips and he rates it highly. No more faffing with the roller thingy.
  5. Fentanyl is a extremely potent synthetic opiod, when prescribed responsibly it is a very useful pain relief. I give you an example on it's medicinal strength. Oral morphine tablet 20mg over 24 hours conversion into fentanyl by slow infusion under the skin dose equivalent, 500mcg over 24 hours. 1000mcg in 1 mg. It can cause lethal overdose in opiate naive individuals. Strong stuff! The street stuff can be mixed with all kinds and dosing fentanyl ingredient into the preparation can be anyones guess, hugely increasing the chance of sudden death. Along with illicit heroin, cocaine and steroids the country seems more awash than ever, never in my life have known so many people taking the stuff.
  6. When I worked in the local big hospital from the early 90's into the early naughties I think I paid about 25 quid a month, came straight out of my salary. My daughter worked in the same hospital for a couple of years until recently leaving. She paid £60 per month straight out of salary. The car park was for staff and visitors, no designated staff parking. Even back then I had shifts when I couldn't get parked easily. Difficulty in parking for work is a frustration, but it's a different vexation when attending as a patient, especially if this results in one missing the appointment. Countryman, I feel for you!
  7. Proper size dumpling that. Nothing worse than the packet ones that dry and shrivel up. Superb job Ditchy.
  8. One of me old friends used to ask for 'finch, chimps and mushy bees' meaning fish chips and mushy peas, he would take great humor in the reaction and confusion from the the chippy staff. Long rest his soul!
  9. Looks delicious! The secret to the fishy pie is not to overcook it so that the fish becomes tough. That looks about right. I omit the crab as I find it a little overpowering and prefer to eat it in smaller quantitiy from the tin. That is a well presented dish.
  10. Finch, chimps and mushy bees last week from our local the cost was around £12. The finch was medium size.
  11. Superb chips again! You are fast becoming the 'chipmaster' for sure. Branston beans I assume?
