Very similar to spheroidal peaches.
Presumably bred flat to pack better.

Why does Sainsbury's website not list Picotta cherries under 'Berries and Cherries' but in Peaches, Plums and Nectarines?

Flat peaches.  Eh?  They look like doughnuts.  What are they like to eat?

They're really good when they're ripe.

And so stackable!

My orange squash and sugar drink I made up last week, Thursday I think, but didn't use until today had fermented/carbonated itself in the bidons.

This is why I avoid sugary things in bidons...

If you position the bidons in the right way, you could have a turbo boost for hills.

I just had garlic mushrooms, spag bol and garlic bread delivered to my house after ordering it on an App.

The human race has reached the limit of its progress. We can all go home now.

But surely such apps are only at their best for people who are already at home?

I mean, back to our original dimension  :P

If we all use this app everyday, I'm sure we can get back to our original dimension - a perfect sphere!

That's all a bit scary when you put it that way said my waistband.

It's OK I can now get into the kitchen so the slow roasted lamb shank creamed potato and three veg inna wine sauce for £8.99 will have to wait for another day.

$Out of milk error.

Now, black coffee or break open the camping stash of UHT pots? :-\

Depends how small and fiddly UHT pots are!

Freeze some 1 pint cartons after your next online grocery order to prevent recurrence. I always haz frozen 'emergency milk'...

I went for black coffee as I couldn't remember where the pots were. Milk now replenished so should be ok :)

We do that. Surprising how often the choice is black coffee or wait several hours for the milk to thaw.

(Not helped by the facts that we usually drink coffee, I don't take milk in coffee, and I usually get stuff out of the freezer.)

Placed a Sainsbury's order today:

Condiments
There are no products on this shelf at the moment. If you're looking for a particular item, you may be able to find it using the search box above

Bin bags

Store refurbishment so no frozen food either.

NO ICE CREAM IN THIS WEATHER!!!

Opposite problem here. Loads of milk, but we're out of coffee! :o

It's raining outside but I'm going to have to venture out to the shop at some point...

Ruth

Skimmed UHT milk is surprisingly palatable in coffee.  In an emergency.  I usually have a couple of cartons stashed away for emergencies.

Given my taste for cereals in the morning and distaste for UHT therein, I always haz some frozen semi-skimmed.

Have you no ice cream?

No ice cream. I try not to buy ice cream as I'm rather too efficient at eating the stuff if it's in the house :-\

Graze have credited my next three boxes as half-priced after I pointed out my last three TNT delivered boxes were late.

It is sometimes not possible to avoid buying ice cream.

Sadly I've had to learn not to buy/eat ice cream as it's just too lactosey even with cheatpills. Fake-icecreams are off due to additional soya intolerance and sorbet != ice cream.  I hear lactofree are molishing ice cream but I'm yet to see it inna shop...

I do and don't miss it.  It's annoying when out and about with friends all getting an ice cream cos ice-lollies aren't the same.  Then again, that is when lactose intolerance is the most annoying.  Wish I knew why soyamilky stuff is also a problem cos that makes things harder and my doc never really looked into any of it - just kept telling me it'd get better or I shouldn't be ashamed (the one time my usual great GP completely missed the point)...
