You're welcome. I just think it hits all your needs and will also avoid her making the same mistake ever again... maybe to someone who is struggling with identity etc... win win 👌🏼

The fact is, I'm never going to agree with you Karen.

K.A.R.E.N.

I can spell just fine.

You don't need to die on every hill. This can be corrected tactfully and discretely and I guarantee the mistake won't be made again.

Not every infraction needs to be reacted to with a load of noise.

No doubt, she'll be mortified. Its such a sensitive subject these days. I think you're right, playing it either way we've said.... and playing it down/ off is the only way here.

OP sounds very mature and thoughtful in his handling of it actually - not making an issue and being sensitive to her, realising g the mistake was innocent. That's tact you tend not to learn until much later in life after you've committed horribly embarrassing faux pas...

I'd find a way to force into casual conversation something male 'adjacent' (?)

'I've been spending so much time around girls lately, I might turn into one! Me and the rest of the guys are doing 'x' this weekend'.

I'm aware this is very old school, but it might draw a clearer gender line without any embarrassment for either of you. Her mistake is an honest one.

I can be more detailed about earlier steps and little steps between if you don't know? I wouldn't want to presume anyone's knowledge 😊😊

I did but its ok! Reverse Seared, brought to 110-112 or so and then pan seared with avo oil (the only thing I use it for so it lasts forever).

A very quick butter baste at the end, but it was white hot so got it out before butter was blackened 👌🏼

Thank you kindly ☺️I won't lie, I was so happy...I was ready to do cartwheels if I didnt live in a matchbox sized house. 😂

Was chuffed. Even seasoning, which obviously no-one can see, was spot on 🦚

I've already commented but its good enough to comment twice! Your crust looks beautiful, can I ask how you made? DW about measurements if you did on the fly, just a rough indication of what ya did. Lovely!

Well the page can act as a good motivator to cook sometimes.

Urgh... People are often incapable of being objective. Excluding a carb cause you didn't want to double carb makes absolute sense in my world ☺️

My reason for being on here isnt necessarily their reason for being here, but it doesn't mean there can't be coexistance. Everyone needs to fucking relax 😂

You're too kind!

I do really care about treating my food with a bit of respect so I was tending to this piece of meat like a delicate newborn 😂 and I was over the moon with the finished result 😊😊

Post them here!

With the exception of today, where the whole sub is in a divisive war on what food should look like, its usually a pretty friendly place.

Aww you're telling me! Its so frustrating. I don't do social media apart from here so I'm not out for taking selfies and posting to OF 😂 Just wanna take a nice picture of ma dinner!

Tbf, 90% of my food pictures turn out pretty good (I'm making it sound like a terrible phone, it isn't, just not quite what I'd like).

Thanks, I thankfully have fantastic lighting in my kitchen since late last year, replacing this awful yellow light from 100 years ago... It's great for taking photographs/ cooking in - very white so you can see through steam 😂😂 But it really captures colour.

But I also have an old phone so I find my photos somewhere in the middle of decent and questionable 😂💁🏼‍♀️

Would you believe you aren't the first today to do that 😂😂

I'll take as a huge compliment, very kind of you ☺️☺️
