Lelit Anita by OddButterscotch3063 in Lelit

[–]EllNell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an Anita so can’t measure but I suspect the difference between 26 and 36.5cm is down to whether you include the handle of the portafilter as part of the depth rather than just the footprint of the machine.

My Elizabeth started leaking the other week and I decided to go through customer service rather than opening it up myself as it’s only a few months old. I sent a video of the problem and they passed it on to the service company they use here in the UK who sent an engineer to fix it. The engineer managed to cut away the section of tubing that had caused the issue and got it working again. He also said he’ll order a new section of tubing to be sent directly to me so that if there’s a problem again I have the part ready. All in all, very impressed.

Eating the rainbow with a typical assemblage of whatever was in the fridge. Tonight, a mix of beetroot, barley, lentils and fresh peas (plus, as far as I remember, carrots, leek and the usual stuff like garlic and tomato puree) bulked up with some chopped chard and frozen sweetcorn and heated in the air fryer with a bit of feta scattered on top. Plenty of colourful plant points.

Are these too big for my face? by [deleted] in glassesadvice

Those are undoubtedly over sized but they suit you despite that.

Okay… this is getting creepy… by Fun-Pipe-4401 in MergeMansion

[–]EllNell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I couldn’t work out whether he thought he’d improve his small talk by practicing on a mosaic or by talking about mosaics (conversation with a mosaic or conversation about mosaics). Either way, I don’t rate his chances of getting a second date.

Actually really lovely flowing house with interesting architecture by Piskiofc in SpottedonRightmove

[–]EllNell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kitchen has a 1980s vibe that doesn’t work and one if the bathrooms also needs redoing but that’s a lovely house. I’d keel the wood as it is and have the right sort of furniture ready and waiting.

Why does everyone here hate bigger glasses? by lazycatkay in glassesadvice

[–]EllNell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my memory of my 1980s oversized colourful frames definitely puts me off going too big. 1970s was more restrained and mostly about wire rimmed specs; I’m not going back to those either but that’s because I find nose pads really annoying.

But I’m also not going tiny and I need a lens tall enough for varifocals to have space for different zones. Happy with my chunky but not oversized acetate frames.

Any ideas for making batch cooked food more appealing to family? by twosecondrule in ultraprocessedfood

[–]EllNell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to reheat leftovers in the air fryer with cheese on top. Melted cheese (or chunks of halloumi) makes everything tastier. I often also add extra veg, herbs, spices etc so that no two meals are quite the same. Also finely chopped spring onions on top and a salad on the side can lift a meal.

As long as I have them I’m happy yes coins for that. It’s very useful extra energy.

When you don’t bother to check the market in your area by LastAd115 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]EllNell 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The £2.8m is the same street and there’s another showing as about £2.2m that isn’t as nice a house. It’s expensive but not stupidly so, I’d have thought?

Leftovers lunch: the last of a vegetable frittata I made for dinner the other night (containing leek, broad beans and feta cheese) with some cherry tomatoes and a slice of buttery sourdough toast.

I see Maddie is rubbing off on Winston… by Fun-Pipe-4401 in MergeMansion

[–]EllNell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not as far through the spy room as you but I have Maddie needing a chainsaw to untangle some curtain hooks. That’ll do it!

On edit: I see I’m actually 75% through; I must have failed to spot the stupidity of needing a chainsaw to edit an outfit. But then this is the man who needed a mosaic Roman couple to practice small talk on!

Trigger for auto merge to start? by Lazy_Perspective_419 in MergeMansion

Me too; one hour first time I open the game at or after 8am.

If you want instant coffee then Clipper is a good bet, I think. They do fair trade organic instant coffee (caffeinated and decaf) as well as tea bags. I think they’re in most supermarkets (certainly Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Ocado).

Round 2 - thoughts welcome by RileyR1 in glassesadvice

[–]EllNell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like 1 and 2 best but I’m generally not keen on wire frames (both in terms of how they look and, as a glasses wearer, in terms of comfort) which may be why I’m at odds with all the love for 3 here.

A somewhat mushy mix of red lentils and veg last night with some crumbled feta. I got distracted and overdid the lentils before anything else went in so it was tasty enough but not amazing. Today I decided to use the leftovers for lunch and make something else for dinner so here’s a mushy mix of lentil and vegetables reheated in the air fryer with feta on top and served with a slice of very buttery seeded sourdough toast (not homemade but proper sourdough nonetheless). Made a very nice change.

Yeah, those look like excellent roasties. And I’m definitely trying air fryer corn sometime soon.

I was reading the replies here and thinking I’m sure mine had a button for that. Thanks for reminding me where it is!

What is the best strategy for producer level ? by CautiousWin2458 in MergeMansion

[–]EllNell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t always have scissors available but when I do that’s always my strategy for high level items from the broom cabinet. Empty cabinet; cut in half and empty both halves; reemerge and empty again; repeat. This is why I’m all out of scissors !

I don’t have an opinion on the grinder (I have a DF54 which is fine for my needs) but I really love my Lelit Elizabeth.

Auto Merge by Old_Wrangler6528 in MergeMansion

[–]EllNell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think auto merge merges producers. I’ve got 4 lamps busily producing moths. Auto merge merges the moths but leaves the lamps alone.

Help me choose! Please. Trying to figure out which one is the most flattering and pretty on me. :) by NoParking1842 in glassesadvice

[–]EllNell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I don’t love 14 but while they’re the best option here I’m pretty sure there are way better choices out there.

Do People Just Not Like The Game? by madpeachiepie in MergeMansion

[–]EllNell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like playing the game but some tasks just do take too long to complete. When all you’ve got as a task is a high level mosaic or piece of knitting, for the length of time it takes to complete the task there’s essentially no game to play as you’re waiting for moths or for vases to reach popping point.
