Proper doughnuts have centres of hole^[1], as any fule knows.

The bits which are punched out to make the holes are all shipped to Canuckistan and sold as "Timbits". Trufax.

Kim is confusing doughnuts and donuts. Different things entirely (even before we consider the motorcycle variety).

Because the crook-backed anarchists in the pay of the ABSINTHE-SOCIALIST always write "BOMB" on bombs. I think it's something to do with ISO9000.

ISO 9001, I'll have you know

I am spoilt about bread as Kosher bakers do a good line in proper dark rye bread amongst other things.

Being raised without much Chorleywood pap bread has its advantages.

Every trip to scandianvia has strict instructions to bring back decent rye bread, dark as possible, and as T42 notes, nice low GI for us pancreatically challenged.

I must have fallen asleep before the n+1 thing.

A bio shop near us gets it in fresh every Friday. They have excellent 100% chocolate too.

The food waste bin (caddy) is having a holiday from the kitchen to outside the back door in this hot weather...

I just took a spoonful of coleslaw from a pot in the fridge.

It was fizzy.

I guess it has been sitting around longer than I realised.

I think the 'cold chain' is not always working as it should in this weather.

Fridges and freezers are not all cooling as much as they should and stuff warms up fast when out of any active chiller.

Your slaw might not have been that old.

It's given me an idea though - I could set up a stall in Borough Market selling fermented coleslaw at £5 a pot to hipsters.

Toblerone reverts to old bar style.

Just as well. I found the new bar hard to handle.

Four double-yolkers in one carton of eggs?

Think I'll buy a lottery ticket this weekend.

Merevale free-range eggs from Tesco - the same ones we usually buy, nothing special. We have had the occasional double-yolker before but I don't recall ever finding more than one in a single carton.

hellymedic · « **Reply #2569 on:** 23 July, 2018, 03:02:00 pm »

I don't think I've had a double-yolker since I was a kid and I'm 60 now.
Maybe I should buy posher eggs!

Younger chicks/hens IIRC, and then shine light at them

Next-door's fig tree is dropping some of its ripe fruit on our side of the fence.

Fresh figs are very nice!

So my eating this evening of a Paris-Brest has bought into perspective how unlikely I am to ride its namesake bicycle event.

The vast majority are in sock drawers.

It is unlikely to get so hot that the chocolate melts.

All the socks are clean and all eggs are wrapped in shiny foil.

Most socks are dark...

ETA (12.00 29/4/18) We are now down to two undiscovered clutches...
(17.00 29/4/18) He has found the last two clutches!

I must have miscounted.

David found a clutch on Sunday (near his swimming trunks), which we ate today.

They had not melted, 'bloomed' or damaged the trunks.
They were still edible.

just checked on the Bunnahabhain website, only £6 shipping, which means I can get a couple of bottles shipped from my island tour next week back to my dad's rather than weighing myself down with them for 400km
