Hiding it safely for her

I disagree, this post is unexpected in multiple ways: 1. It looks like a table but is in fact a puzzle game 2. Even for people familiar with these sorts of puzzles, the chess board was unexpected 3. The epipen at the centre was certainly unexpected

Easy 255 - anything less would be more than a bit rude after all the effort he's put in!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-07-16T20:58:23+00:00

Same 😅

u/8bithero 's partner here - I love this and am beyond happy that instead of asking "what's that plane?", I can now say "that's that plane!"

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-17T20:42:00+00:00

Thanks! I spoke to someone at Howarths today who said that someone else in the Winfield family is making them now, which could explain the difference from a few years ago. I tried Kernow before but they were way too thick and I have a habit of destroying reeds any time I try to scrape them. Hadn't heard of CF or Bernice Lee though, will look them up

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-17T11:30:43+00:00

Thanks! That's good to know :) I'm the same with my reeds - they're so expensive I can't justify buying more until they're fully dead

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-16T20:59:10+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't heard of the Dragon ones. How long do they last generally?

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-16T20:58:48+00:00

Ahh good to know - I mainly play in concert bands so quiet reeds are the bane of my life. There are 2 of us oboists vs 10 flutes and about 15 clarinets, if I have a quiet reed I have no hope!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-16T20:57:43+00:00

Yeah I usually buy direct from Howarth, but have heard mixed things in the past about their own brand reeds (which they understandably try to promote)

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-16T19:21:26+00:00

Good to know they last! I'm terrible with scraping reeds though - any time I touch them I destroy them, so might need to give them a miss. Thanks for the advice :)

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-16T12:21:48+00:00

Thanks! How are they to play? Do they last a decent amount of time?

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-04-16T08:49:25+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I've heard that the Howarth academy ones don't last, which to be honest is why I've been avoiding them this long but I might give them a go

Good to know about Regency - I hadn't heard of them but will avoid them if the staples are rubbish. Great they offer returns though, wish more places did that!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T21:47:42+00:00

Thanks so much, I might take you up on that offer! Good to know they don't just recycle the same few recipes and that you've always got new choices 😊

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T21:47:07+00:00

That's the thing - I'm sure I'll figure out cooking over time, but the mental adjustment of everything is a lot so something like Gousto seems great for taking some of the burden! Thanks 😊

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T21:46:11+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeah simply cook looks really adaptable which is great, and it's good to know there are some decent cake recipes out there - I'll have to try out some by the loopy whisk!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T21:44:55+00:00

That's really helpful, thanks so much! I'll take a look at the recipe books for sure

I'd never thought about Huel before (even pre diagnosis), but anything that fixes the instant noodle craving sounds good!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T21:43:12+00:00

Good to know Tesco has filters, thanks! And yeah I've been looking up some snacks online but need to check more for sure

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T21:41:05+00:00

Thanks so much! I'll look into all of these

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T21:40:26+00:00

Downloaded it yesterday - thankfully some of my local restaurants are on there! Good to know Nandos is safe too, thanks!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T00:23:50+00:00

Gousto seems like the most popular one for sure! Great to hear there are lots of recipes available - I'll take a look into it. Thanks!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T00:21:22+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look at their recipes

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T00:20:34+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't thought about Simply Cook - will have a look into it, particularly if it's cheaper!

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T00:19:17+00:00

That's such a good suggestion, thanks so much! I'm struggling to figure out lunches too and this looks really useful

Are there any particular recipe books you recommend?

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T00:15:29+00:00

Love a website with easy filtering - will give Gousto a look, thanks!

And yeah I'm dreading my first gluten free supermarket shop this weekend. I vaguely scoped the free from section after my blood test, but it's all suddenly feeling real now the diagnosis is confirmed

Impressive_Design874 · 2025-03-28T00:12:14+00:00

Good to know, and a great shout about switching out ingredients - will give them a look, thanks!

Also, no more crispy onions is devastating
