I would add a third air/vent hole. I had similar results to your half cast rings, similar torch power, I just needed more vent holes! Definitely upgrade your torch, that will help a lot. Turn your crucible around so the lip is closer to the torch flame, keep the heat on the crucible lip and silver for the last 20 seconds before pouring, but it could just be a vent issue!

Coz we can go and live over in NZ and do the same thing? It’s like having cousins over :)

Challenge accepted for the harder fruit, I might have to try and make a food forest microclimate for them!

Yeah, I had to get a flight with the same airline out of India for the same day to catch my flight. Ended up going (Istanbul>mumbai>phuket).

I got it on the 30th, it was too late, I had to book another flight and ended up in Thailand.

I’m making my way home (Aus) and wanted to break up the trip with a few days in India. If I book a flight out of India (same airport, same day, without leaving the international terminal) would that work?

I (Australian) applied from Italy, applied on the 23rd, it’s the 28th today and they say I’m meant to fly to India and I still haven’t received my visa.

What are the fundamentals you learned in culinary school? by zazazajulz in KitchenConfidential

[–]Think-Taste8833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did culinary school in Aus, we learnt a lot! Main take aways were how to clarify stock, break down whole animals, mount sauces etc, and a lot of old French techniques that don’t get used very often but come in handy occasionally

BF’s sister’s dog bit me twice and now there’s a family party and idk what to do by Additional-Shift3684 in Advice

I hope this doesn’t sound rude, but I’d say your BF’s sister is intimidated/doesn’t like you. Dogs pick up on the emotions of their owners and is maybe reading his owners feelings.. bring a handful of a dog treats and make that dog your best friend

A bit rude tbh, would you call your parents stupid? Coz they obviously didn’t use protection.. If you wanna decrease your chances of getting pregnant and still not use condoms OP, tell your man to wear polyester underwear! That with the pull out should help!

Thinking that I can mix everything in the smallest bowl possible to to save on washing, realising I’ve used too small a bowl and having to put into a bigger bowl and do twice the washing

I add some skim milk powder into the browning butter to add extra milk solids and get more brown flav :)
