...Which is still in use in New Zealand (and maybe the other Commonwealth countries, too?)

Also: “Forgive people”

M. Pneumo would be disappointed.

There’s a midpoint between lamb and mutton called, in NZ at least, hogget (one year old sheep). I like it.

BTW, Cutlery and More has the 16x13 for the same price, the 14x11 for $100, and the aluminum non-stick version for $80. https://www.cutleryandmore.com/search?q=roasting+pan (I’d embed the link but kinja.)

If you have a pup dying of cancer, who can’t eat - or can’t hold anything down - try baby food. Our old corgi got some kind of stomach cancer. Chicken baby food (basically pureed chicken) worked OK for him, till the end. 

The black ones and the grey ones are both grey squirrels - there’s genetic color variation (like human hair color variation within the same family). We even see the occasional red grey squirrel (pretty much the same color as a red squirrel, but NOT a red squirrel). This morning we had a couple of black ones - and one…

Good on you both for foster care!

My BIL lives in the PNW (dark, gloomy winters) He gets SAD - but gets relief not from a therapy light, but by changing all his home lights to be more sunlight-like (so around 6500K). I don’t know the brand of bulb, but my own favorite is a company named ‘Hyperikon’ as they do a good job with color rendition (the…

Remember that you can scratch your knives with a magnetic knife block. To avoid this, when removing a knife, roll the knife on the bar so just the spine is against the bar, then pull away. As a bonus, it’s an easier pull if you do this.

That’s actually not an unreasonable price for a good steel pan. Whether it’s steel or cast iron, you have to remove the layer put there to keep it from rusting and season it. Google ‘cast iron season flax oil’ for a how-to. I’ve learned to never buy needs-seasoning cookware in the winter as the process does not smell…

If the only thing holding you back from W10 is the UI, check out Start10. I set everyone in the office up with it when we transitioned to 10. Costs a massive $5.

Agreed. But you got the positronic reference?

I use Urnex ‘Coffee Equipment Cleaner’ on pretty much everything that touches liquid coffee (mix a small amount of the powder with hot water, let soak for a couple of hours). The moka pot I use is stainless, not aluminum - and I’m not sure it’d be good on the aluminum ones as it takes all the oils out, and, as I…

As do I. However, I might spend money on a box of Bachelor Chow - so long as it now has flavor.

My first exposure to Pavlova was in New Zealand. Apparently it was invented there (although with fruit, not squash**) and named tor a popular-at the-time singer. Any NZers able to corroborate?

Are the batteries at all replacable? Or same issue as with AirPods?

If you happen to have a PorterCable orbital polisher, there are brushes that go in in place of the sponge rubber pad or bonnet. I use the pad, plus BonAmi, to get our shower surround looking like it just came from the factory. Ditto the sink, but if ours looked like your ‘before’ picture, I’d start with the brush. And…

Sadly, the Sonicare is sold out.

I got the ‘original’ version because it had screw holes so I could add screws if necessary. Mine hasn’t budged, but it’s been less than a week.
