There are some inspectors who ARE really worth hiring.. others it’s almost like “you want an inspection ... hold my beer”. When you are house hunting go into the Bedrooms and look inside the closets at ceiling height... Good spot for finding if the roof leaks .. the paint will have bubbled.... In the bathroom flush…

A microplane grater makes short shrift of even slightly tougher skins - just yielding a nice gingery paste. As to colours I once had some that was pink .. a very young tuber/shoot... had really nice ginger flavour with a little sweetness.

The Beef Fat was also kept to make real Chips (French Fries to NA)... MacD’s used to appreciate this...

In true Irish Fashion .... Writers Tears Irish Whiskey.

In the UK during post WWII Dripping sandwiches were part of the diet... the “jelly” area between the fat was sought after ... I couldn’t appreciate it but my Mother did.

Add some gravy ... basis for a shepherd’s pie

Next she’ll be talking about “leftover” wine...

In a previous lifetime I did go through that much garlic... Now either smashing with a knife, at the same time as saying someone/something that has been bothering me, is a great stress reliever... If I need the cloves a little more “cohesive” a firm push of the flat of the knife is usually enough to “break the skin”…

Put the cloves either between 2 S Steel bowls (to form an egg shape) or a large plastic jar with a lid. SHake like the blazes and automagically the Garlic cloves are peeled... I have tried a number of differing methods but this one gives me the largest number of whole peeled cloves with the least effort.

I have an old laptop running ..... Windows XP... Because I have a perfectly useable Scanner that doesn’t have upgraded drivers .. It doesn’t work under win 7 either. So unless Hackers come into my house and physically install any nasties I shall continue to use those two pieces of equipment that work. The Notebook…

And at the end when the crash happens the public will have to bail out the “too big to fail” and watch as the “brightest and the best” get large golden parachutes and move off to start gambling in another arena.

Dairy in Canada is FAR superior than the US.... (Personal experience).

UK & Canadian (even Mexican) Coke completely different than US... US uses High Fructose Corn Syrup Others use Sugar - gave coke it’s “Bite”

Growing up in the UK Root beer wasn’t a thing (I still think it tastes like medicine and not a fan) .. We did however have Coke floats (Coca Cola & ice cream).....

Not that I’d recommend this or would do this... and living in Canada can’t do this... But I heard abandoned carts on Amazon are really bad for a vendor. I also note that Uline sends out a crap load of catalogues... Now that is great for the USPS sadly hurting as a result of 45's actions... But I wonder how it would…

What can you do if your ISP throttles you... I pay for 1 Gb fiber at first I had 900+GB hard wired into the router. Now I am lucky to get 300 DL but 600 upload. I know they can say congestion more houses etc... but recently we had a power outage ... the router is battery backup and the laptop was on battery... no…

You rent space/access on a server if the owner of the server thinks you violate TOS they can terminate you ... If you are not happy then either go somewhere else or create your own data centre. If an application owner decides you have violated their TOS then they can terminate you. Go to another App or create your…
