In other news, I just ate half a tin of spam.

It wasn't off.

Dunno why I had the urge to eat it, but it was quite nice.



Night all.

Stuff like that is underappreciated in an age when so many think the path to happiness lies within the pages of the Observer Food Monthly colour supplement.

They used to compare different brands of baked beans, in the days when food journalism was relevant to the tastes of the people

I remember reading a comparative review of different brands of baked beans in the late 70s or early 80s. The Woolworths own-brand ones (actually labelled Woolco, but that was the Woolworths own-brand label) got quite a high score, because they included a touch of malt vinegar in the sauce and it added a certain something to the flavour. Upon reading this I tried adding a touch of malt vinegar to my beans, and do you know they were right? Since then I've continued to use Heinz Beans (which are always the best by any criteria) but I always add a drop or two of malt vinegar (also known as vinegar, not those fancy vinegars) and it does improve the lifestyle experience

In fact, one of the major problems I have with hotel breakfasts is that there's never any vinegar put out with the cruets, so one can't flavour up the beans. You'd think for the amount they charge they could put a bit of Sarson's out

Just realised I'm on 4 hours sleep since Thursday morning, time for another coffee

Morning

[BrilloPad]

Just done a 3 hr 30 min cycle ride - it was quite rainy at the end.

Good parkrun today. Rain held off till I was driving home.

Knackered though - mother had a fall at 4am - she's not hurt, but needed picking up. Once she's down she's like an overturned tortoise.

Afternoon all.



It's raining again.

Much more pleasantly cool than earlier in the week.

Afternoon denizens

There was a big spider in the kitchen. Then there wasn't.

Going to be carefully inspecting the kitchen from the door before entering from now on

It's OK - they don't eat much.
