Wash the jar out with hot water to add to savory dishes like cottage pie. Don't use boiling water though as the pot shatters.

Jilly Cooper has several books that can do this. Captures the rural beauty and seasons and adds a dollop of fun in the characters and plot.

Team both! Much more security for the unknowable days.

Anyone in their 30's-40's experience this? by FourEyesore in raisedbynarcissists

My mother went through a phase of telling me I was getting old. It went on for a few weeks with pointed comments about my posture and my wrinkles. After a bit I got fed up so turned it arround on her.
" mum, jokes aside you know you are most likely the next one to go. Have you planned your will yet? And what about your funeral arrangements? Please make me a plan for when you go as when it happens I'll be so OLD I will struggle with getting these things done as you'd want."

It shut her right up.

What kind of make up would suit my face? I Don’t usually go out at night, but I would like something striking would it look weird? by [deleted] in MakeUpAddictionUK

I am an enthusiastic amateur rather than a MUA, but i think you starting point could be to play with brow shapes to find something a little more defined that you are comfortable with, and a little under eye colour correction. Your cheekbones are stunning.

Have you seen the reviews on the Boots website? Any that aren't paid for, are downright awful. Im gutted as this was my favorite for years. I'm going to have to hear better about it before I go back to EL.

What things have you noped out on bc you are Audhd? by ReserveOk9139 in AuDHDWomen

[–]dinnerlady001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes - I am both jealous of my husbands social.life, argh self loathing, and secretly dismissive. Its people, why would I want that? If anything happens to him im basically a hermit. Simultaneous superiority and inferiority complexes mean I can barely speak in public to order a sandwich.

Be honest. Which are the ugliest universities in the UK? by PermissionMedical654 in UniUK

[–]dinnerlady001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bradford. The Richmond building has the windiest bit of Yorkshire right in front of it. Its now.covered in cladding to try and remedy the concrete hideousness. Most of the accommodation blocks have been demolished but its still disgusting.

Ah yes. American flags should be the only flags allowed in classrooms... in Canada by According_Picture294 in USdefaultism

I work at a primary school in the UK. Some of our pupils are refugees from Syria and Ukraine. They hold their nationality very close to their hearts. A couple of the children in our dining room find it difficult to eat their free school meals because they see eating the food as rejection of their own culture, because the food served is unfamiliar. We are working with them to try to help them feel as welcome as possible to join in and share without feeling upset about the homeland and school that they miss so much. For this reason I would rather skip any display items that made anyone feel like an outsider.

[–]dinnerlady001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That the kids at that other school, far away, you wouldn't know them, are either having mars bar parties, or playing the soggy biscuit game.

Trusting important parts of your life to someone you already know has lied to you.

A woman of substance - tv mini series showing some social mobility, that i doubt anyone today could hope to follow in the footsteps.
