The daily threads really have died a death recently. A bit like Ava Max’s career.
Haven't you been back a fortnight?
SIT DOWN
Work, pleasure or a bit of both?I'm off to Tokyo tomorrow and the airport tonight...SUPER EXCITED but SO MUCH TO FUCKING DO!
OUR KALA was clearly LURKING for most of his absence. Made obvious when he gleefully proclaimed he returned after Ag’s demise.

I've given up on the pickling. I used to make loads of pickled onions and pickled chillies and, every now and then, a mix of the two by request. The onions I pickled last year for Mr F are in a jar in the utility room ready for the vinegar to be poured down the toilet and the onions in the food waste. So I'm not bothering this year, ingrates don't deserve my crunchy pickles. I'll keep my hands smelling like handwash and my thumbnails intact for once.I've just spent a couple of hours in the kitchen pickling onions and carrots, and now the house stinks of vinegar.
They are baby carrots from a friend at work's allotment. I just halved them, blanched them and then poured over the vinegar which I boiled up with a load of garlic and coriander seeds.I've never had pickled carrots, or even considered they might be a thing.
Correct answer.I love pickled EVERYTHING
(Except eggs)
