Toasted thick cut white bread from the 60's.

My favourite travelling with my Dad in the lorry on the car ferry Southampton to IOW and back to pick up hides from the slaughter house ..

It was the early 60s darling..

Nowt but lashings of real butter, with memories of Rationing still on everybody's minds .... Something that you had to be there to appreciate!

Can't beat thick cut bread for toast, soaked in real butter.

All of my shirts this last trip were Isocool, except for a couple. It was remarkable how good they were and the odd days when my laundry was being done and I wore the ordinary T shirts that I have been wearing for ever, it was very noticeable how much more I sweated and felt hotter in them.

 

 

I just checked and the Mountain Warehouse have them in my size, reduced to £9.99.

Just ordered another 7 in various colours.

No oversight and it was great.

Won't take long before your freezer is restocked. Looking forward to an update on that. 

Very nice mate !

I  never used to worry about how long food stuff is kept in the freezer in the past, because I never really bulk bought stuff and with being in the uk full time, the food got rotated naturally.

Since being retired and travelling a great deal more, I have been a bit more conscious of it. They used to recommend a 3 month keep time. No idea why only 3 months, because I have eaten food that has been frozen for years and never had a problem.

With me being away for the past 5 months, it makes sense to eat up all of my remaining food and Start a fresh, whether I need to or not.

I will add that having a freezer full of old food when covid hit was a big bonus. LOL.

tech is incredible. I've just purchased a Galaxy smart watch from Duty free.

I can call someone on the other side of the world and talk to them with a watch on my wrist. It measures all my heart rate etc and even tells me the quality of the sleep I had last night.

It also tracks and tells me when there's an unidentified Air tag near to me with an alert to my phone, which I find incredible as air tags are apple and my phone's an android.

Who knows what it'll be like in 5 years time.

Samsung do air tags too!

Glasseye's got it. No toast, also no tea. More than a "slight oversight" - near enough a criminal offence.

only 5 large mugs of tea this morning.

The oversight was I forgot to include the ham in the omelette when I cooked it. LOL

It's a reduced carbs day, so no bread.

Ham and cheese omelette this morning. 

Spot the slight oversight. 

Chicken and chips cooked for me by a mate, I added beans and gravy after!

Hi All.

Long-Term Expat, hoping to connect with some like-minded people.

Welcome and enjoy. 

Today's effort at making a Penang from the paste mixes that I came home with.

I just added chicken and onions.

Was a bit runny, but work in progress!

Who'd you nick the rib from mate ?

I'd devour that baby in about two seconds.  

 

Fcuk me a ribeye and some good ribs are on the list for next week. I need a big ol plate of spaghetti also.   

 

😋

Most of my meat comes from the same local butcher to me that does the sausages.

I am trying to eat everything that I still have in the freezer before I order in fresh.

Co Codamol worked great for me although it really got me constipated which is problematic in itself. Acupuncture worked well for me on two occasions.

Yes, codeine will constipate you very quickly.

I find tramadol much better for back pain of they will give you it.

Both have consequences long term.

I buy them frequently at Walmart.com $5/ea on the Clearance tab. Useful for vehicles that still have a CD player and you can't be bothered with streaming, thumb drives, phones, etc. Sometimes it's fun to go old school, but I draw the line at 8-tracks.

I had an 8 track in my first car when I was age 17, many many years ago. lol

Surely they are well gone now?
