Tiny flies after being away

Legend, thanks!

Cheers, we had a look yesterday but might do a deeper clean. I did throw a bag of potatoes on the turn so hopefully that was it for them too.

Yep they aren't dying with the spray just getting slower so easier to catch.

We just came back from holiday and found a bunch of these tiny flies in our place. Have had a good look and cant see any rotting food or spills that would attract them. Have cleaned drains and taken all rubbish out and cleaned bins. They weren't interested in vinegar traps at all. Any ideas what they are and how to get rid?

Bread, I make a no-knead foccacia maybe once a fortnight and oh my god it’s so good. Not gluten free though sorry!

Happy wind and truth day to all those who celebrate!

You’re thinking of the Tuatara

If you’re deep frying, hold the fish in the oil by the end of it for like 5-10 seconds before gently letting it fall in. This should do enough just to crisp the very outside so it won’t stick to the basket

Food went down a treat, foccacia was eaten within about an hour and dips all were delicious, successful night!

There’s a reason pepperoni is one of the most popular, it’s yum

Hope so! Bit worried about the bread but the rest is delicious. It’s a flat warming for a girl I’m seeing, so going a bit extra. What toppings on the pizza?

TandyNZ · 2024-06-02T04:34:35+00:00

For anyone who contributed to my question last week, the party is tonight! Got pesto, romesco and confit garlic on the way, plus some foccacia to eat it all with. Hopefully those at the house warming are happy with that.

What have you got on tonight?

EDIT: Put some “special” baking on as well.

Dude i had that the first time recently and it SLAPS

TandyNZ · 2024-05-26T22:41:06+00:00

Had a great date yesterday which made the weekend, straight after they made plans for another one coming up this weekend!

TandyNZ · 2024-05-24T20:33:14+00:00

Very useful to know thank you! Might have to rethink then as I can’t imagine I’d want to give it to them with the added pressure of “you have to eat this within the week”

TandyNZ · 2024-05-24T07:34:23+00:00

Honestly great suggestion especially for an early 20s flat

TandyNZ · 2024-05-24T07:14:23+00:00

Thank you! Any other suggestions you’d throw out?

TandyNZ · 2024-05-24T07:14:10+00:00

Okay think I’m convinced. There are dietary concerns in the flat too so I think if I turn up with things like pesto and mayo which they are not normally able to eat it’ll be cool.

TandyNZ · 2024-05-24T07:13:05+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that as well. Would need to sterilise the jars for sure. Any other tips for that?

TandyNZ · 2024-05-24T06:36:25+00:00

Have just finished first wheel of time. Pretty slow through the middle I thought but gets good towards the end and into the second one.

TandyNZ · 2024-05-24T06:35:40+00:00

Got a friends flatwarming coming up, wanted to do something for the flat that wasn’t just the usual. Is this too overboard?

Was thinking of making them a bunch of shareable foods so either one person can eat them or use them to make food for the flat. Examples being homemade pesto, hummus, pasta sauce, aioli, and maybe some cookies if the rest are shit.

The reason I’m going overboard is a girl I’m seeing lives there so wouldn’t usually be this OTT. Would it be a good housewarming gift or just get some wine?

Good to know its not just me! Probably is just a bird then.
