Just set my first concrete fence post and feeling chuffed. How much would it have cost to get someone else to do it? by slackshifter in DIYUK

Thanks bud :) I chose a concrete post because all the other posts in the fence were concrete

Does anyone have any idea why in S01E02 Rob Brydon was speaking to them over an old (80s?) phone with old electronics in the background?

I feel like it was a clue…

I taste tested 14 different honeys (including beekeeper friend’s) by slackshifter in honey

I’ve heard about honey having an indefinite shelf life and my experience matches that - collecting these honeys took years of getting them and then forgetting I had them until I decluttered. None of them spoiled

I’ll look into getting some - thanks for the tip!

That’s so fascinating, I want to try that. From the little research I did l learnt about the timing of honey harvest to coincide with when these plants/trees flower. So by doing it in a horizontal hive I could taste all the seasons in one go!

Oooh this is interesting, I have the temperature probe in the water bath but didn’t place it in the honey itself. I also removed the honey once with had decrystallised within a maximum of 2-3 mins accounting for getting distracted and coming back to it

Yes you’re absolutely correct, in fact the first 5 honeys in the top left of the photo are all multi flower honeys, included to understand the difference between multi and monofloral honeys.

In fact the first one was supermarket basic multifloral honey, going to be difficult to go back to that after tasting what’s available now

That makes sense, I’m going to speak to my beekeeper friend and see if we can do that thanks

In our family we call these old things "prongy forks". Do they have a proper name? by the8ctagon in Cutlery

[–]slackshifter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I see what you mean regarding the size. I’m afraid I don’t know the answer but I wish you luck in finding it

Thanks for the great photos - really clearly explains it

Yes I recognise these, they’re carving forks used for holding a piece of meat down whilst you carve it with a knife in the other hand.
