It’s more the dairy for me - may well be what finally gets me off it. I’m all for reducing waste and often eat things well beyond ‘use by’ or ‘best before’ dates but apparently supermarkets are suggesting use of the ‘sniff test’. Well, that’s all very well at home, but I’m sure they don’t want me doing it before taking the stuff homeOn that subject I am not in favour of supermarket plans to remove best before dates on fridge items as I try to shop once a week and stuff with the longest date (eg cold meat) goes underneath or behind the ones needing eating first. Same with yogurt, bacon, etc.
Weekend of sailing.
As a rule, we (captain and deckhand) eat with the guests, and usually I don't because carbs.
We had a very long and beautiful sailing day, arriving at the harbour at 9pm, so the guests had cooked underway.
A very good green curry. They ate downstairs but no problem to bring us a plate, and no problem at all to leave out the rice for me, which meant they had unknowingly cooked a perfect low carb meal!
Having dinner while sailing in the sunset, doesn't get much better than that!

After docking I was just in time to take my dogs to the beach for a short swim before dark (I swam, dogs prefer to keep their bellies dry)!

A few are hiding under the 3 vertical dots on the line of symbols at the top of each new postbut it wouldn't even let me paste in an emoji here.
The usual one are here - see circled area in pic.Under that symbol, I have 3 possibilities: Horizontal line, Spoiler (which lets me key in something or other) and Code. Not helpful to me. The only one of those that I know is horizontal line, although I don't know when I would use it (see below - it's very feint). Perhaps your display is different.
Oh! That display is different to mine! It's really difficult to support users when we all seem to be seeing different things!
Most lids come of the pies we get from pie shops lift off with help of a knife, I wish I had @Rachox's self restraint by not eating the bottom pastry though.I remember @Riva_Roxaban saying he cuts the top off meat pies.
It was easy, it was a quiche so had no top layer of pastry, then I just looked on the pastry case as a dish holding the egg and bacon mix!Most lids come of the pies we get from pie shops lift off with help of a knife, I wish I had @Rachox's self restraint by not eating the bottom pastry though.
Agreed, where did it go? In fact, where did the last year go? It might be one of the odd factors of old-age, but time definitely passes swiftly by for me. Might be because I've spent a lot of the year willing it to pass so that my brother would improve. But I'm sure that I've read somewhere about time passing faster as the body slows down, or was it something about in relation to the time that has already gone?What have I eaten over the past week?? Way behind.

Where did August go??
It could be worse, they could have Easter Eggs on the shelves!Forgot to mention...
In the supermarket earlier today, still in August, there were piles of big sharing tubs of chocolates and loads of party food in the freezers...
And a certain type of recipe is coming up on fb and other places
Yep, it's coming, just under 4 months.
Anyone else nostalgic for the days when we used to get harvest, then, autumn, then Halloween, then guy fawkes, then the big day?
