@matigo Never too late.
Ox cheeks cooked to gelatinous perfection. The cooking liquid, being tomato-based pasta sauce, water & meat juices will, once cooled & strained of fat, become the base for a fabulous minestrone-style soup.
Have had a couple of lumps of meat going in the slow cooker for the last 7 hours. Not ready yet, at least two more hours on the low setting. Cooking beef (ox) cheeks in a diluted tomato-based pasta sauce.
@matigo Thanks. I wondered where that had got to. Been missing for a few weeks.
@matigo When I first saw the headline last week I thought to myself, "Well, it won't have been 'research' work by those bastard Japanese whale researchers." Then I read the article and it was their work after all.
October 15, 2015: received a Logitech M558 Bluetooth mouse from the Apple online Store. It's allegedly designed to go for at least 12 months on a pair of alkaline AA cells. Granted, I've not used it daily, as it's paired with the MacBook Air & I normally use the trackpad but I just tested the cells & both are still around 90% of original capacity. I see little reason to dispute the 12 month battery life claim.
Won't do that again in a hurry. Had a chilli dish for dinner, normally I restrict such things to lunch. Woken with a nasty episode of gastric reflux some five hours later. I've got some antacids working & will follow them up with some yogurt. Its calcium content provided extra relief.
Retired the 2400 watt electric kettle to the spare stuff department in the garage. It takes longer to boil water than the induction cooktop does when set to 2100 watts.
There's something nicely bracing about starting the day with a V60-brewed coffee. Strong but smooooth.
