How good is oyster sauce? The good stuff, especially (I’m still on a bottle of Megachef that’s lasted me over a year). Lifts up any tired old vegetable stir fry. The perfect balance of sweet, salt, and savoury 👌🏽 especially with a dash of rice wine thrown in. Don’t need much else.
Oh it is such a great addition to 2 minute noodles. But in soups, I have never tried that before… I’m not a huge soup person but I should give it a go in winter. I can imagine it’s a nice alternative to stock powder for cheap and easy seasoning
I add the powder packets and stuff and then oyster sauce as well.
It’s quite nice with some flavours but I totally forgot about the stir fry noodles I used to cook with oyster sauce, water, dash of sesame oil, lol bit of sugar from memory, so delicious!
Fun fact: on September 26, 1983, an officer in the Soviet millitary, Stanislav Petrov made a good decision. He oversaw the early-warning system for the Soviet nuclear arsenal. His warning system’s computer signalled that five American missiles were incoming. So he had to make a decision - does he report the missiles to his superiors? If he did, the Soviet military likely would launch a retaliatory nuclear strike.
Petrov decided the reports were false. Thank goodness he did, because 2.5 billion lives were at stake.
He might not be able to run if convicted? Honestly I could understand why he wasn’t in jail if I bothered to read the articles explaining the processes and the complex legal reason he isn’t. I just… don’t care to spend my time doing that
I hate politics especially US but I just don’t understand how they (Dems) can think Biden is the best choice now. Surely neither of them are anywhere near the best choices to represent their parties. It seems insane to me.
Today’s preserving report: Lots of mixed berry jam made. I’m not sure at this point if it is going to set well enough, so it may be reclassified as mixed berry sauce before labelling. I ended up not doing the grilled vegetables and made 16 serves of overnight oats for the freezer instead, full of lots of yummy summer fruits.
I sometimes reboil jam the next day and use a cheat, I add will add some jamsetta. Of course that means recleaning all the jars again, which is a pain.
I am always happy to have some that doesn’t set, I have plenty of things I will use it for. It is much less stress to just let the fruit decide what it wants to be and go with it 🤣
Well, I called it. Melbcat has potentially had a reaction to the antibiotic and has definitely got an ear infection and super itchy skin. I’ve been advised to stop the antibiotic (normally something you should never do) and give her eardrops and transdermal pain relief. They couldn’t get urine today so not sure about the UTI situation but if she worsens it’s specialist time.
Got called for references for the job I interviewed for, feeling pretty confident I’ll snag it 😎 Especially as despite my ex-boss still being a shit from what I hear recently, he was more than supportive on the phone when I gave him a heads up.
If it all goes well the employment checks shouldn’t take more than a week or two, it’ll mainly be up to the medical provider for the pre-employment medical.
OK, was it Duenan who said he had a screen shot of Gandalf with his Istari shield? I replayed scenes in both versions of the movies, have looked so close and just can’t see it.
If I have a proper posture I have no pain at all any more. I might get another desk chair, I have one of those stylish miller ones but don’t use it as it too bulky.
