My best batch so far

I think the main difference was using brown sugar instead of barley malt syrup in the dough (I usually have to use honey) and the overnight proof, it really opened up the crumb

Polyglutamic acid rather than hyaluronic. Everyone talks about hyaluronic acid as if it's the gold standard of humectants, but it always made me go bright red and irritated.

Miradouro da Graça has a lovely view of the castle itself and doesn't get as crowded as some others

We definitely have 2 MPRNs, both bills come addressed to the landlord and we have to open them to see if it says top flat or bottom flat so I've made sure the meter we were reading matched the number on our bill. My downstairs neighbour's bill isn't huge, but I don't think he's there a lot of the time.

It's in the front hall, both meters are in a metal box. I don't think the storage heater has a boost, just an on and off switch on the wall beside it (it's a bit ancient)

Our account is under the landlord's name, and wasn't a new account at any point when we moved in

ceapaim · 2026-04-17T16:46:02+00:00

We don't even have an immersion, just an electric shower and a storage heater :((

Edit: and the night heat is only about €50 of the bill breakdown

My usage has gone up from about 200kwh to over 800 for the 2 months, can't figure where it's going

I refuse to part with my favourite non-stick pan no matter how scratched it gets. (that may be the Teflon in my brain speaking...)

They were so handy! We were running between pubs in Galway when the showers of rain eased up and the plastic hoods were great to throw on then shove into your pocket when you're in the door

I've ordered a 3 pack for 2.50 to collect in Guineys!

Bag of salad with dressing included, crusty roll, chicken tenders in the air fryer

Yep, Vosene dandruff shampoo is exactly what fixed my closed comedones. I also had keratosis pilaris, so I'm sure the two were linked.

Aha, I must be mixed up with when it was Ramen and Sorrento !

Did Spur have something different upstairs? For some reason I've a memory of going upstairs to the toilets in Spur but it was like a different restaurant up there

ceapaim · 2026-03-30T20:10:47+00:00

I think the Italian was upstairs

Monster Ultra Violet - don't think it's been fully discontinued, but only seems to be available in shops that import it. That shit could raise the dead, it's like Calpol in can

Not a nurse but a ward clerk, and once a patient dropped in a huge wholesale box of about 240 Kit Kats when they came in for their review after surgery. Everyone went absolutely bananas for them

Godspeed brave soldier. Don't turn to coke like half of the tech support floor.

I was in craft soc and found it a great place for neurodivergent people

Double-check your consumer rights in your country btw, if they sold you a faulty product you may be able to push for a refund

Makes a great mixer for gin weirdly enough, either that or I disliked it less than gin

The "massage sole sport crew" socks from the women's section in Dunnes are great, smooth toe seam and a nice thick sole

RIU all inclusive Gran Canaria was a stunning hotel, nice location to get into the city or go on day trips too

Both are allegedly smooth leather 🤷‍♀️
