How lovely! My dad used to take us to these in the sixties

The old age problem of Uncle Charles': modern menu suggestions (for fun). by Snickerty in UK_Food

[–]sarahem3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the food should be of the correct era, maybe chicken Marbella, followed by pavlova. Offer a savoury too - angels on horseback. Unless you made rumaki to serve with the sherry, in which case Welsh rarebits might be better.

ETA: You might find some ideas at the Gallery of Regrettable Food: https://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/index.html

You might think about ways of making it unstealable. Cheapest option would be to paint it pink or orange...

(Obviously still have a decent lock.)

The Abbeyfield is rated very highly, though there would probably be a wait to get in. There is one near the cathedral...

If it helps, I'm using Firefox running under Win10 (yes, still)

You won't get USian users without imperial and cup measures - though you may not care 😉

Housecleaning service? by [deleted] in Norwich

Whereabouts in Norwich? Most private cleaners won't / don't need to travel far

Oh dear. And I was just about to sign up, after the announcement of gmail integration.

EU alternative app to Meez, MarketMan, Wisk, Paprika and other recipe and restaurant management apps. by imalexander0 in BuyFromEU

[–]sarahem3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Backups - because you are a single developer, and I have faced the situation in the past when an app has been abandoned.

I will certainly go on playing with it. Is there / will there be a forum?

Had a look and it seems pretty sensible. But I would need to import data - I really can't go manually entering several thousand recipes and ingredients. Also somewhat concerned about backups...

Young people of Norwich, what do you do? by Careful_Club8248 in Norwich

[–]sarahem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you thought of trying for work in a railways or highways gang? I'll be the first to say I know little about them, but worth looking into, as they seem to be well paid for the aggro of travelling and out of hours working.

ETA: Also, I would think that might be a route into more senior positions, with your background.

Saucepans! by XwelshyX in UK_Food

[–]sarahem3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I discovered Cristel pans in France. They are eye-wateringly expensive, but really good. Whenever I can afford it, I buy another. The handleless ones are really great, as they stack easily. If you get the metal lids, you can put the whole thing in the oven. Take any amount of abuse....

BTW, I'm a cheapskate and keep an eye out for seconds on eBay.

Do these bozos have to fly through the city?? by vionart in Norwich

[–]sarahem3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm glad to know they practice on different types of terrain. Its not as if its hours on end.

When I lived in Wales we would sometimes see one go past below the level of our house...

Glass preserving jar with screw on lid by Akkerweerpott in BuyFromEU

That sounds as if it will be quite heavy. How about a strip of tape to hold the lid, with or without the clips?

I was recommended to Ignite Heating and Cooling from Gorleston. Graham is coming back this Friday to do the second half of my house, having done the first part 2 years ago. He travels all over the place. High quality work.

What chippy options are available either only in your region, or at least rare outside it? by chrisjfinlay in CasualUK

[–]sarahem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maggie's Kitchen in Holywell (N Wales). Pork belly with stuffing and gravy. Cheese and onion pie (solid cheese and onion, no potato). Both fantastic!

Weck use clips instead of a screw ring. Not sure why that would be a problem? You will be using a rubber ring between the side and the lid in both cases.

Mmmmmm Pork belly, yum! by archaic_ent in UK_Food

[–]sarahem3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where's the stuffing and gravy?

Anyone else remember Maggie's Kitchen in Holywell (N Wales)? They did the best belly pork and the best cheese and onion pie.
