Food related TA
It's not always 6 of 1, and half a dozen of the other.
Not being a Gourmet cook I do set my sights lower, and often cook :pac: me some pasta, and stir in a few tablespoons of Dolmio - tasty enough.
But, there's a discrepancy in taste for some reason with the different types of pasta for some reason or another. Since they are both made from durum wheat I find myself at a loss as to why that is.
Anyway, last time I put on a saucepan of pasta penne, and the difference in taste between it, and a similar sized other type pasta(can't think of the name, but unlike the penne it has swirls and isn't hollow, like what the penne is) is noticeable. The penne is like bloody cardboard in comparison :pac: :mad:

My theory is that although fusseli (that's the twirly pasta) and penne contain the same 3 ingredients - flour, eggs and salt - they are different thicknesses and as such will taste different. Thin flat pasta for example will cook cooker and be lighter than a fat pasta like tagliatelle. Also dried and fresh pasta will also taste different.
God I've a massive hankering for a carbonara right now. TA that I live alone and damned if I'm making it:)0 -

Your theory sounds logical Porklife
Only ever had carbonara in them microwaveable tubs - not great, but I spose homemade is far better.
Worse things than living alone though, plus if you ever go on social it's an extra 11 or so Euro a week on some payments.. :pac:0 -

It has also a lot to do with the quality of the wheat used for the flours. Not all wines (even made from the same variety of grapes) taste the same, nor do fruit and vegetables and rice, for instance.0 -

Up until yesterday I wasn't sick once all year. It was fantastic.
I did my morning shift yesterday, I was grand.
I came home and had a bath, I was grand.
The moment - the literal second - I put the towel around me after my bath, my throat was immediately sore, like out of nowhere my throat is like "I want to be sore now, thanks".
Now I have a raging pain in my throat and all the back of it is red raw and my uvula is swollen.
My cold/flu tablets, which usually work, are not working. No amount of hot tea and honey is bringing the uncomfortability of it even slightly down.
And this just had to happen over a bank holiday weekend, where no chemist near me is open.
I haven't enjoyed a single pastime since I got home yesterday. Being sick just ruins my day completely.
I don't enjoy comedy films because I can't laugh, because laughing irritates my throat.
I can't enjoy the food I like because it hurts to swallow.
I can't enjoy a fizzy drink because of the same reason.
Can't even enjoy my f@cking tea! 0 -

True enough, and plenty can't shop online. Tis a disgrace closing clothes shops and the time of year that's in it.
TA with all the flipflopping on these restrictions etc.. Like a yoyo - I think it's forever myself.
More than TA'd at that Richard Ayoade Doosh - "The new different" :rolleyes:
Faark me with all this gibberish 0 -

And on that note, my hot water bottle has sprung a leak, but not somewhere "patchable", oh, no, no siree. It's leaking from the stopper. I think the metal bit of the screw part must've got damaged near the seal, because the washer on the stopper is perfectly ok, and it's not that I haven't put the stopper back on properly, either. The thing is, I can't see where the actual damage is.
Cold feet until the end of L5. 0 -
Tried to talk the baby for a walk in a nearby recreational forestry that's a few km away from us. There's maybe... ten houses nearby? Car park full, cars parked illegally for a mile up and down the road. Impossible to even pass. Drivers rolling down windows shouting at each other for blocking the road. Ice cream van in the thick of it. Is this a lockdown or a holiday? This is why we can't have nice things.
We were compliant for the last one, and had been compliant until now, but we just feel at this point, we are being fools sticking to the restrictions when it seems to be a free for all for everyone else

And nowhere open to buy socks... :rolleyes:
Fkkers want us all to die, be it thru cold, anxiety, depression - knocking it on the head, or going postal on family/friends/neighbours and maybe getting knocked on the head
It'll add to the numbers anyway - sick bunch of sociopaths pulling all the strings :mad:

Maybe the rubber at the screw part is perished, or the rubber ring (if there is one) on the stopper could have suffered a similar fate. Probably/possibly tiny cracks or holes that you can't see.. Can't offer any solutions alas
