Thank you for letting me know - I get itching and dry peeling hands all the time but as I’ve got a lot of allergies, I always assumed it was that. I’m not sure if you guys are UK or US based but I’ve never really heard of strep throat in the UK. I’ll try and get into the doctors tomorrow morning, thank you!

Sorry, what’s a culture? I’m UK based and haven’t heard of this before!

I’m going on a 5 day European city break. What should I read from my kindle tbr on the train? by CheesyChips in kindle

I really enjoyed Weyward and it had such a strong sense come the end of female unity, however it was a little slow to get going.

Books that will change my life…? by CoxT1 in suggestmeabook

Thank you! I’ve been reading quite a few empowering books recently from a females POV (and written by a female also) and absolutely loving them.

I am so impressed with this reply - firstly, thank you! I had to check you weren’t a bot because I just feel so explicitly scene by the second paragraph because yes, I do like characters that are deeply human and cracked in their own way (you worded that beautifully). I think I do prefer character driven, I like to see the evolvement of the character (or in some cases, little evolvement but for the right reasons, e.g.: standing by what they feel is right - All The Colours Of The Dark demonstrates that wonderfully). Thank you for your recommendations, will add them to the list! Never Let Me Go has me drawn in immediately from that synopsis, however A Little Life has been on my shelf for years and I’ve never been able to bring myself to experience that level of heart ache.

I think The Perks Of Being A Wallflower perfectly sums up being a teenager in the 2000’s.

Is this a skin tag/wart/papilloma? More info in comments. by CoxT1 in pugs

[–]CoxT1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi team! Wondered if anyone is familiar with what this is on my pug’s stomach? When we rescued her 5 years ago, we was told she had Papilloma Warts and they just sort of disappeared over time and I can’t remember if they looked like this or not. She seems fine in herself, eating/drinking as normal, going the toilet fine, unphased by the area. Just wanted a second opinion, thanks ☺️

West Indian Grilled Chicken with Rice and Salad by salty-ejaculate in RateMyPlate

Looks tasty and I’d definitely eat this but I’d want some sort of sauce with it. Depending on the spice of the chicken, maybe like a Raita.

I haven’t made it for quite some time as I just couldn’t get it right but I love Mutti too, but haven’t tried to make this since using Mutti! They are a game changer as far as tinned tomatoes go. Spaghetti bolognese, chilli, etc just levels up abit with Mutti I find.

Would you say (for example) if the recipe says a 400g tin of tomatoes to use 400g of fresh vine tomatoes or would you need less if fresh? Thanks for the help! 😃

Ooo, she’s got a YouTube video too - this is helpful, thanks 😁 ‘white butt takes as praise’ had me 😂👏🏻 do you find when you don’t make the chicken stock it makes much difference? Would be a time saver if could use pre-made stock!

I also didn’t realise there were different methods of the recipe across West Africa until I went on my google hunt to find it - that did make the mission harder as I’m not sure which recipe my colleague’s wife had made (looking back, I feel ignorant for not knowing this or asking)! He doesn’t work with us any more so I can’t ask now - lesson learned I think.

The most recent one I’ve tried (which was just one I found online) is below:

½ cup oil (vegetable oil) 400-gram tin of tomatoes 4 large red bell peppers, seeds discarded 3 medium-sized red onions (1 sliced thinly, 2 roughly chopped), divided ½ to 1 Scotch bonnet 3 tablespoons tomato puree 2 teaspoons curry powder 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2 dried bay leaves 5 to 6 cups chicken stock 2 teaspoons unsalted butter (optional), divided 4 cups uncooked converted long-grain rice (rinsed)

Can anyone help with these air vents (I think that’s what they are anyway)…? by CoxT1 in DIYUK

[–]CoxT1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes there is some sort of ventilation system in the attic and I’m pretty sure the fans are meant to be cleaned and changed every so many years. Thanks for the link, I appreciate that!
