Wouldn't one that generates hot water be more useful?    :D

Actually, in the interest of SCIENCE, I've added more whisky and the second microwave sticky toffee pudding to the experiment.

 :sick:

I'm an idiot.

Yep.

In the interests of science, I had one too many glasses of grog last night, and had to keep up with a bunch of buggers on bikes today.   I said nowt about my lingering hangover, lest I was accused of wimpry.   In the end, the partial hangover cleared after an hour or so.

Ask Kathy Pike, she is a marmalade setting expert.

Leaky abstraction: it just says "15-25 minutes, or when setting point is reached". Up to this point, I was fine.

Right now - killing time whilst the latest version of OpenMS (released yesterday) is compiling at the lab via VPN.

And trying to see how many groups I can add my latest batch of flickry goodness to.

You put a bit on a cold plate and see if it stops being runny when it's cooled down. I think I let yesterday's marmalade for a bit too long and it's too sticky. Tastes wonderful though.

It is done.

I don't know whether it's set. Will have to go back in the pan if not, but it'd been bubbling for a good 25 minutes.

My lungs are reasonably crud-free, my legs have mostly returned to their usual colour and it's 7C outside.  You can probably work out the rest...
