Browning meat to seal in the flavour.

Doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

It doesn't seal in the flavour but the caramelisation ( caused by the maillard reaction) on the outside does add flavour.

Och aye.
And if he's browned just the end he's either Ben Doon or Phil McCrackin

Isn't fancying your forum-colleague's ass a sin?

Not sure he flirts with me - he talks about my bush a bit too much for it to be called flirting. But yeah, he wants my ass obvs.

No need, just throw in a handful of wild rice.

It's looks like a long-nosed headlouse, but lives in grains. We had an infestation earlier in the year which turned out to be the bird food. We then had another, which turned out to be another box of bird food. This week it's the turn of my storage cupboard. Which is now bare (but my bin is full). Call me Mother Hubbard.

Problem is, they don't just sit on the rice, they get right in it.
