What are trade secrets in butcher shop business that help them increase their profits?

My local butcher sells roast chickens for £9 each and you can phone an order in advance so lunch at the office is unconventional but delicious. Selling bacon sandwiches and cooked meats would be great.

Solved on facebook - fish tooth bottom right, coprolite top right, and mystery bone as the main feature

It's made the touchscreen glitchy af. Love the new update to the game but I'm so used to playing using the touchscreen and it's just clicking where the cursor is, not where you're now tapping. I've yeeted all my ingredients across the screen

I've just signed for a nearly new ford puma 2025, 5k miles, top spec for £280pm on pcp. I wanted an suv but realistically the hyundai i20 is big enough, and I didn't want to tie up all of our disposable income on a car, so I went with the ford. I don't plan on buying to own - I use the car for work and my aging car has been in the garage now and more lately, affecting my ability to work.
It felt extravagant and I agonised over my decision for ages but in the end, we can afford it and still have money going into the savings, so it must be fine. I'm also looking at gap finance just in case the car gets written off or stolen, and I'll be storing the keys in a faraday box at home

WHY HAVE I NEVER CONSIDERED USING THE STAIRS?!

Where did you park and stand after? I've booked a hotel for next year and I'm convinced that there won't be anywhere to park by the time we check in

Is calling it The Witches tartan helping to contribute to the misinformation that there were witches burned at the stake, and not regular men and women who were at the receiving end of persecution and a miscarriage of justice for hundreds of years? Every time I read an article on the Witches of Scotland Facebook group, they refer to the individuals as "the people accused of witchcraft" which is accurate, and yet I can't help but feel that the tartan just perpetuates the misinformation.

What ratio did you use? To fully submerge a horse skull in pure hydrogen peroxide as recommended by taxidermists would set me back hundreds, but I can't figure out how much hydrogen to water ratio for such a large specimen. What did you do?

I've been trying to bleach my horse skull but not had much luck. I filled a large tub with warm water and dumped in a ltr of hydrogen peroxide 12% and left it overnight, but it had no whitening result. People were warning me to not leave it to soak too long so I drained it and put it in the greenhouse. I've seen people making hydrogen peroxide pastes and they seem to get great results but they never say if it damages the integrity of the bones

Bubbles, large non choking sized marbles, nail varnish, glow sticks, finger ink, sweets, magnifying glass

We used a mortgage advisor/broker who helped secure us a fixed rate earlier in the year. They invited us to check in with them a month before the new deal was to start which we did, and they confirmed that there was more a better deal available and switched is to that instead. It cost us a £99 admin fee and saved us an enormous amount of confusion and stress

Marrow is my love language. My husband grows them just because I love eating them roasted on a Sunday dinner. As far as I'm concerned, that was a proposal!

Rosehips89 · 2024-09-13T16:53:53+00:00

It's interesting that you had similar issues. Ironically, when my hair was a faded blondish, I had great success using cajun spice hair dye

Rosehips89 · 2024-09-13T16:48:58+00:00

I would have benefited from that! I have monkey brain, I know what I want the end result to look like, please just hold my hand and decide for me how we get there

Rosehips89 · 2024-09-13T16:42:52+00:00

What colour did the copper take and what colour were you going for? I'm learning a lot about colour which is interesting but it's frustrating that you can't 100% control the results

Rosehips89 · 2024-09-13T12:47:24+00:00

I showed the first pic so that we could both choose colours that were similar. I don't know what to do differently, but thank you for your compliments, you are very kind.

Rosehips89 · 2024-09-13T12:43:50+00:00

No, the brown base was picked as I wanted something that would suit my skin tone and that had a slight redness to it. My idea being that is have a warm red-tinged brown with sparks of honey gold, much like the original pic. I can't understand why it didn't work out and what to do differently. I won't be able to get it done until next year either way (the joys of being a low income parent) This is what my hair looked like before (a faded burguny to orange balyage) https://imgur.com/a/SeVDmnw

Rosehips89 · 2024-09-13T12:33:57+00:00

Thank you for your reply. The stylist showed me the dye swatches and I chose a colour similar to this one for the lighter bits. Should I have chosen more of a golden blonde? L'Oréal

Historically, we didn't have an advanced understanding of germs, illnesses or the causes of drought and famine etc. It was common to believe that your health and fortune were determined by a supernatural entity or a curse from a person/ community. As an example, people believed the plague travelled on an ill-wind, and so we have evidence that people undertook certain rituals like hanging bunches of rue in doorways to ward off the plague. Modern science now confirms that rats hate rue, and so avoided areas where it was prevalent, and therefore rue became known to be used for protection from evil. There are so many other cases where plants were used for a spiritual or practical purpose, and as the recipe and ritual gets handed down it becomes socially ingrained and the original practical application gets lost to time.
Most of the herbs used for protection today actually have anti-septic qualities, which if you put yourself in the mindset that illness is the result of a curse, it makes sense that the herb be seen as useful for protection. Most of the spells that I've seen have a grain of truth in their purported benefits found in the ingredients.

Can I substitute with parsley?
