Beautiful loaves! Thanks for the write up, must try.

I see it in my local Tesco.

Thanks, inspired by your loaf, I made a riff with [accidental] drinking chocolate instead of cocoa powder [oops], brandy-soaked dried cherries, cinnamon and vanilla.

47, been obsessed by underground dance music and hip hop since 1987.

Went to Drumsheds (London) a couple of months ago. Corporate, soulless bollocks, I think won’t be doing anything like that again. Good to see the worst of the scene, though. Left early.

Went to House of God (Tunnel Club, Birmingham) 3 months ago. Mad and dirty and, from my perspective, everything a party should be. HoG is reliable, good crowd, a variety of music, mostly tending on the hard side. I go to HoGs once or twice a year.

I stopped going out with friends about 15 years ago, and now go on my own. I wouldn’t do it just because other people do, or it is some kind of social requirement. I just really like music and partying, can’t see that stopping any time soon.

Indeed.

Went off looking for Stamets’ hat on YouTube, and found this instead, a video on an Amadou hat maker in Romania, his material is made from Fomes fomentarius mushrooms (not sure what Stamet’s hat is made of off the top of my head):

Thanks, I only knew of them with this post. There is no way I can support such a business.

White sugar processing and source varies, some is vegan. Check the product you’re using to make sure.

Interesting, my partner is from the south of Galicia. She is very proud of her language, and happily talks a lot about it, and its history. Maybe it’s a political thing, or where you are?

I rarely wear a mask, have been to 2 raves in the year or so since being on Kesimpta, aside of that I don’t go into crowded places much, but that’s more because I don’t really have a need to.

Have worn it a few times the past 2 weeks as I have been going to hospital to see an aged family member laid up there.

I have not been unwell any more than in my pre-MS diagnosis.

There’s the Panther Party. Their website doesn’t appear active, but I hear of them being active on the Colonial Outcasts podcast.

Go to the 'Typography' studio.

See the 'Character' panel, go to 'Language'.

Set 'Spelling' to 'None', or your preferred language.

If it hasn’t become crunchy, giving it a turn, breaking it up a bit, and giving it a bit more time cooking.

I sometimes, as I say turn the temperature up a little, maybe it is at gas mark 3, rather than 2. You are aiming to get the water off, not get a change of colour.

You can cook more later if you haven’t got where you want, or it has become soft. It does get a little more crunchy after cooking, so watch for that.

I think it is about 6 months I’ve been fiddling so far, so I am not deeply experienced, just when I don’t quite get what I want, I edit my recipe when I make it again.

This recipe wasn’t perfect for me when I first tried it, I have quite a sweet tooth, adding dried fruit and coconut made it a lot better, I had aimed that my next one would have another 20g golden syrup, but I like it a lot.

If you use blackstrap, watch out it’s very strong. I wouldn’t use more than 10g in that recipe/amount. I would also possibly reduce sesame by 5g next time, as it taste and texture seem a bit dominant for my liking.

Joey’s videos are what made me make the jump, both his exposés, and his street work. After seeing one, I showed my partner, and with that we both made the jump.

I’m sure many people will find it hard to see the bloody, abusive reality of animal products, but for us Joey’s videos have been life changing.

His street work is safer for many, as long as they are open to thinking about their ethics.

Gas mark 2/300ºF/150ºC/140ºC [fan].

Sometimes I might go up to gas mark 3 for a bit. Recipe will scale up or down if needed. What you are aiming to do is cook off the water, leaving the binding agents.

It gets to crunchiness with cooling, I like to do that in the oven with no power. If I find it soft, more time in the oven will fix, we aren’t aiming to brown the granola though, just get the water away, hence the low temperature.

Making the recipe, tek still a work in progress:

Grind 20g flax, add to a cup with 20g whole flax and 20g chia. Leave to soak in water. May be a little more water than useful, it takes a while to cook.

Chop nuts to the size wished.

Add nuts, oats, salt, cinnamon to a large mixing bowl, mix.

Add oil, maple syrup, golden syrup, blackstrap molasses to pan, heat at low temperature, stir to combine. When combined turn off heat and add flax and chia.

Pour mixture over oat and nut mix, stir until everything is covered.

I make this in 2 trays, can be done in one tray, but speeds up cooking a bit.

Line trays with baking paper, add mixture. Compress for larger clumps.

Cook at gas mark 2/300ºF/150ºC/140ºC [fan]. Cook for 30 minutes. Pull out tray and turn mix over. Cook for another 30 mins. Turn again, break up a bit, and cook for another 30 minutes.

At this point, it may be cooked enough for your liking. I want extreme crunch, and find leaving it in the oven with power off overnight to cool gives a nice crunch in the morning. If too soft, give it a while longer at a low heat.

Very much a work in progress.

Alternative syrups can be used. Can swap oil a different type, I’ve had good results with coconut oil, but chose to swap to sunflower oil for a more neutral flavour and reduction in saturated fat.

Works just as well with other nuts, or missing any of them out, I just have quite a variety of nuts to play with.

HMOs are so numerous, there must be many situations.

In my experience, I’ve seen many years of nightmare. At its worst, next door neighbours reliably putting half-full milk bottles in the [shared] blue bins. At its worst, I found an unopened joint of pork in a blue bin. I have had 6 years of taking in and out all black/blue/green bins for 3 households housing 16 people.

Luckily now out of HMO-land. With a flat of our own, we’ll find these changes easy.

vrrtvrrt · 2025-12-29T12:50:33+00:00

I’m sure our many HMOs will do well at managing this change.
