Feeling the need of a bit of emotional support, as I have just had a letter enclosing a small cheque for overpayment of premium of an insurance policy, and sending me commiserations on the loss of my DH, which is now not far off three years ago. Who are these people? Payable to a bank account which is non-existent. I thought about contacting them, but don't think I will bother. That is unforgivable - they must know and either are too lazy or their internal system is so rubbish to let things like that go through. Hugs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted Tuesday at 07:53 AM #22552 Share Posted Tuesday at 07:53 AM Thanks, I think their systems are rubbish, having looked them up online. This is a very well known UK insurance company, too. Until this I have been lucky in getting only appropriate messages, sent at the right time, to help with the things you have to deal with, and thought it was all done two years ago. Anyway, enough said now; thanks to all who have responded, it does help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in there previously (if memory serves) and it is very nice. Hi Lois, This one opened at the end of June, so you may have! here’s the menu they offer in the Brasserie dining room. And the list of included wines. No Australian wines on that one either, @jillyf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Work for Tiramisu Posted Tuesday at 08:12 PM #22564 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:12 PM (edited) Here at the WWFT Pizza Research Institute, meaningful research continues: Last night a New York style dough was mixed & kneaded, total 3.5 hours - worked well. A tomato sauce was cooked all day, with plum tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil & oregano - all fresh from the garden. Ingredients were prepped and set aside - Sun dried tomatoes, red jalapeños, marinated artichoke hearts, anchovies, feta, parmesan, romano, mozzarella, red onions, green pepper. I prepped the outdoor gas grill, set a pizza stone on an upside down grill basket over the ceramic briquets, (& a few ears of corn on the side), then patted the dough out quickly, with a raised rim (by hand, no roller), plopped on the peel, quickly slathered on tomato sauce, then on with the toppings, lastly with the mozzarella, then on to the now-heated stone. I find minimizing the time the dough is on the peel, together with flour & cornmeal, makes it much easier to slide onto the hot stone. The end result (in about 20 minutes), was brought to table, fresh basil & tomatoes scattered over; it seemed to satisfy my DW. A not-expensive Argentinian Malbec was produced (appears to evaporate rather quickly...), and dinner was had.

Rare DavyWavey70 Posted Tuesday at 10:50 PM #22570 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:50 PM My favourite plates are my Versace ones and my Spode Sheffield set . If ever I’m cooking anything special then the big boys come out.

Rare jpalbny Posted Tuesday at 10:57 PM #22571 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:57 PM (edited) I made an old favorite for dinner tonight. Or a variation thereof - pardon my memory lapses if I've posted it previously... Back in the early 2000s when we briefly lived an hour south of Albany, we would meet my cousin for dinner in Newburgh (NY), were there was an Italian place on the waterfront which made an amazing dish. A veal rib chop, butterflied and breaded then fried, and served over a bed of greens with a topping of fresh tomatoes with oil and balsamic. It was to die for! I make our own version with a pork chop, over a bed of freshly-gathered arugula from the wilds of our local Aldi, and topped with homegrown cherry tomatoes (finally I have enough to use, as this year's crop has been rubbish!). I threw in a few air-fried potatoes because we're not on a low-carb diet, so the breading isn't going to cut it without some extra carbohydrate calories! Oh, and the oregano is home grown too. That added a nice flavor. I wish I could grow as much great stuff as WWFT but maybe that will be a retirement project.

Please don’t mention po ta toes. I Did secure a hefty double pork chop today, I also succumbed to the home cured bacon and the special fat sausages at my local butchers but that dirty filthy 6 Rib Welsh black roast that they had on the counter that kept winking at me. I Resisted. I’m so proud of myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a bit wary. My younger son overdid the keto, made himself ill. I think you probably know there are certain minimums to consume and avoid such a fate.
