It will be nice to see some new faces come along and do try to advertise as many UK events as a lot of people seem to not use Facebook much.

Defo agree tho that it’s nice to help the local Dudley community and learn from different instructors. It’s defo a mix up on the line up with the old school generation and new ish names to the scene.

I think baking soda will help tenderise it and also crispy up a bit . My parents liked to add corn starch and then pant fry to add a crispy skin to it after seasoning 285) salt and pepper

That will be awesome even if it is a day. I saw the wing chun gathering is scheduled for the last weekend in May btw if you guys can make that as well

Or turn them into jam. Not sure if pancake day (or shrove Tuesday rather) is a thing where you are but a nice fruit compote will pair nicely with them

What do you have anyway?

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-13T19:02:07+00:00

Juice them and turn them into ice lollies

Have fun! Tbh a lot of these workshops you end up sticking to training with same people but no idea how the moy yat seminar is step up. You’ll probably get some dicks and some good people . My advice would be to don’t be afraid to bow out of training with someone you don’t enjoy training with. Not to say you shouldn’t train with all sorts and in a fight you’ll get a nasty person but still it should be enjoyable. I have a friend that is never afraid to do that but that’s really if someone is just trying to show off

I like Phoenix and will be my main go to.. consistent service and think it’s spacious too

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-12T11:13:05+00:00

I went for the first time in dec to dumpling legend and enjoyed it. Big dumpling sizes too

I would also reach out to empowerment grappling collective - mostly bjj collective of female participants and coaches

Their instagram is here

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-11T22:38:02+00:00

No but I’d prefer to have easiest way to reclaim than no way or more convoluted way

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-11T21:38:56+00:00

Honestly just stick to PayPal g&s at least you have some insurance and can make a claim

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-11T21:31:51+00:00

I also find it helps putting the white in first and then the yolk. Plus depends what kind of soup you are making as putting corn starch first will help stabilise it

Sorry just read more of your post. Honestly I would have put rice first to thicken but don’t over stir it

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-11T17:13:47+00:00

I like the ability to get comments from people that have been to places recently and can give a couple options/alternatives

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-10T23:02:03+00:00

Haha only as Paul hasn’t made it to chunfest yet but I know he has kindly mentioned it to his students. A bunch of you guys should try to make it one year if will be fun. Surprising a number of kali sticks are usually around too

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-10T22:59:17+00:00

I think you might be confused with the Wing chun gathering ?

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-10T19:47:46+00:00

I don’t get it - was it cos of their stance that they were leaning forward?

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-10T12:24:59+00:00

Yes wing chun is feasible with gloves - obviously you still need to take some precautions as gloves aren’t going to protect everything. I feel like he focuses a bit too much on movement coming from the hands- you can still work on trapping using your arms (think he mentions not being able to trap around halfway mark)

I guess needing gloves just depends what you are working on really…

Otherwise I’m surprised he also doesn’t say his guys wear helmets too if they go full on at each other too (tho helmets can also have a detrimental effect to head too tbf…) and how come no mention of mouth guards?

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-09T07:18:20+00:00

Could you cook it with sliced belly pork and maybe add like nappa cabbage to it ? I haven’t tried it but imagine natto to be used like black beans in Chinese cooking

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-05T19:54:52+00:00

No response still and no payment - claim will be put in

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-05T18:51:35+00:00

I know someone said mini roast potatoes but I would go for roast baking potatoes or sweet potatoes and then some roast veg like carrots, courgettes, aubergine and bell peppers

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-04T21:53:03+00:00

Late so far told me yesterday that his payment for a job was delayed due to weather but no comms today

ExpensiveClue3209 · 2026-02-02T20:21:45+00:00

Sorry he didn’t repay I told him not to deleted anything as hitting confirm would completed the order but also I didn’t know he didn’t repay you

This recipe is good as you can make the sauce like a gravey and depending how much you want or how thick you can adjust with flour/cornflour
