I......have no words. What business is it of anyone except yourself how you spend your money? Your priorities are yours alone and everyone who thinks otherwise needs to STFU.

Apologies for poor quality, I didn’t want to breach any copyright laws etc.

I’ve been trying to post a picture of the recipe in question but Kinja keeps eating it :/

I don’t know bupkis, but the Pinch of Nom cook book uses Xanthan gum as a gluten free and low calorie substitute for a binding agent. The recipe uses two teaspoons, which from reading this article and the comments sounds wayyyyyyy too much for 12 hash browns.

When I was little, my mother’s cooking was not too good. We didn’t have a lot of money and her life motto was “You should eat to live rather than live to eat”, which resulted in using the cheapest of ingredients and some very odd food combinations.

I saw it as an ingredient in a Pinch of Nom recipe (hash browns) and wondered what it was. Lord C-W managed to find some in a health food shop and when he made the hash browns, they had a very unusual texture, even though as promised, said hash browns were, indeed, nom. Now we know what it is, maybe next time he shou…

Nooooooooo! There’s nothing here in Wales he would even be remotely interested in. We’re too mountainous for yuge golf courses.

I recently realised I am truly living in “interesting times” when I found myself admiring Tories.

To be fair, I’ve had a problem with JKR’s appropriation of other properties from the start before she even started on other cultures. Don’t forget, the Harry Potter stories were not originally conceived for publication and the first, unedited versions were mostly a mishmash of various mythologies, legends, stories…

Indeed. He was the reason I didn’t even consider seeing the second “Fantastic Beasts” film. His appearance at the end of the first one made me lose all interest in the franchise.

Can I see it?

I only travel business class on European trains now. The extra price is worth it for sure.

The Grand Central one has indeed gone :(

Whenever I’m in Vienna I stay at the Hotel Imperial, and I thought he lived there as he was always at breakfast. When I discreetly asked the chef, it turned out that he just liked their breakfasts so much he would turn up most days, park his black Ferrari outside and join in the (admittedly lavish) buffet, resplendent …

Lovely country weather!

Well, I, for one think this is a perfectly splendid idea.  Parker? Ready the Rolls.

I think I’ll try on my computer first, it looks like a totally different interface than the PayPal on my iPad. Thanks for the offer, and I’ll post my results tomorrow as I may still need help lol

I set up a PayPal account but it won’t let me send money without a valid phone number or email address. It says name as an option but I’ve tried all combinations of your real name and PayPal username to no avail. I am so sorry I don’t seem to be able to help :-/

That top does nothing for her IMHO.   Apart from having to get that off my mind, I can’t say that house looks like a home, let alone a family home with small children.

Hahahah there are plenty of people who would agree with you there!
