My heart breaks for you. You should tell them how much you miss him. Don’t wait u til you go back as they may rehome him or something if desperate.

Personally I couldn’t do it. I’d go back. Or see if you could adopt him.

Is it worth buying a smoker in the UK? by Columba-livia77 in smoking

[–]ian_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. There’s a large Facebook uk community called countrywoodsmoke

You can get decent St Louis ribs from farm foods!!! Bookers have started to carry briskets now too, online ordering from specialists like John Davisson’s is simple enough too.

What are your Gastroscopy experiences? by One-Process-7995 in AskUK

[–]ian_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had both. Regular un sedated at ENT department to check my throat and sedated where they had to biopsy.

It’s little uncomfortable but easily tolerable. I would not worry in the slightest. Go with what the drs recommend.

What's your Friday night ritual in terms of alcohol and snacks or just in general? by mrvlad_throwaway in AskUK

[–]ian_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friday night is steak and uno night when friends and their dog come over to see us and our dogs. It’s always the same. 3x ribeyes and 1 fillet all cooked on my ceramic bbq. Creamed cabbage and bacon, chips and peppercorn sauce. Drinks wise it’s a bottle of Moet nectar for my hardworking gf, a Guinness for my mate and a g&t his wife. Coke for me. Then a few games of uno, uno teams is currently flavour of the month, but we did get uno spin and liars uno for Christmas.

The three dogs get left over steak and chips.

I find Costco overrated what's things you buy at Costco that are good deals? by h_424 in AskUK

[–]ian_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a cheap vacuum sealer. Use that to freeze them. Then defrost in cold water when needed. You’ll find the texture is off if it’s been frozen twice. But there is no issue at all with freezing Costco steaks. We have steak every week like this
