I’ll have to give this a go. My wife and I have just been using a “shopping.txt” file in a shared dropbox folder, so it’ll be interesting to see what extra functionality a dedicated app can bring to the task.

You can use whole peeled tomatoes for almost anything. Pour them out of the tin into your (washed) hand, one tomato at a time, and crush them in your fist. As well as getting to pretend that you’re mushing the brains of your enemies, you’ve now got the best tomatoes at the right consistency in your dinner.

Not sure about tips. I just did it. I actually started out thinking I was only going to be switching to it for a couple of weeks and then switching back (that’s why I’m still working with shelving offcuts balanced on cardboard boxes), but over two years later I’m still doing it. I didn’t notice any particular…

Can people who have used this let me know what I’m missing (and whether I should get one)?

I’ve noticed a bit of a first world problem with games on an SSD. If I’ve just installed something new, and I’m still trying to get my head around gameplay and tactics, they sometimes show tips on the loading screen. Unfortunately, with the game installed on an SSD, you often don’t have time to read them before the…

I just think they should have options for how strict you want their corrections to be. I’d like it to give me “warnings” for grammar mistakes, but only call out my actual vocab or word order mistakes as “errors”.

I’ll put in my 2c *against* Duolingo for a language like German. Don’t get me wrong, I love Duolingo, however it gets so bogged down in the minutiae of grammar that it can be very tough to advance to new vocab. If you’re trying to learn conversational German, it doesn’t really matter whether the dative adjective on a…

Make it fresh at work. You’d be surprised about how much of the cooking process can be done at work. Chances are that you’ve got access to a kettle, a microwave, and maybe a sandwich toaster. Microwaves will cover off most things (think frittata, basic soups, etc), but ideas like a soft boiled egg, or even vegetable…

Is it just me, or does this sound a bit like the ‘Fantasy Game’ that the students play in ‘Enders Game’?

I’ve been making Sweet Chilli Sauce from what I harvest from my little chilli tree for a few years now. I harvest throughout the season, washing the chillis and putting them in the freezer until the end of the season. That normally gives me enough for about 3-4L of sauce (enough to give a bit away, but still have…

Yeah, I was thinking that an RSS feed might be good.

I’ve got a bit of a question, somewhat unrelated to this recipe. It’s possibly related to the differences between ingredients available in the States (where this recipe was written) vs Australia (where I am).

In my experience, forks are a better option. They tend to be a more stable base.

I probably should have put an emoticon in there or something to show that I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with my comment. Yes, it’s just there to collect any leaks, so it probably doesn’t have to be a baking dish, let alone a shallow one that also happens to be made out of glass.

Would Plex not work for this?

Sounds tasty - but I’m curious as to why you need to put the sealed bag into a “shallow glass baking dish”. Would there be any difference if you put the bag in something else?

For those not in the USA, there’s a bit of an issue with buying this Anova product. Their current deal with Amazon (who have exclusive distribution rights) have permission to sell the 110v version worldwide. The issue is that they make specific versions for other countries (eg. 220v with Australia/NZ, Europe, or UK…

You can save a lot of money on stationery. If you've got even the slightest eye for design, it's not too hard to put together a passable layout on a computer. We did our own Save-the-date, Invites, Ceremony guides, Table numbers, Place-tags, Thanks-yous, etc. For the majority, which were text only, we bought fancy…
