What did you cook or eat today (January 2025)

I worked with two Docs who were called Dr Love and Dr Death so Dr Tasty probably wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow 😂

It always triggered a Monty Python sketch in my mind cake or death? Love or Death ? 😂

Do I dare ask how they got those nicknames?

Craig made his chili, I made mine.

They were born with them. Dr Death was actually spelt Dr De’Ath.
He’s still working at Frimley Park Hospital.

That's scary.

That's scary.

Just a bit!

Football snacks. Homemade Amish-style pretzel bites with a mustard and cheddar dipping sauce.

OMG!! Where did you get that? I need one. When I just throw a dressing together, (and don't want to measure and wash afterward) and it's good, I have no idea amounts to reproduce it. I would LOVE this.

I found one on Amazon. Thank you!

Thanks, he had physio yesterday and they told him in no uncertain terms that apart from the exercises they gave him he is not to use his arm at all and it must stay immobilised in a sling for another two weeks minimum!

I just love those big, fat pretzels you can get in Ohio.
I tried making some a year or so ago and one of the instructions was to put the dough in a pot of boiling water with bicarbonate of soda.
Mine just fell apart
Any clues or a convenient recipe?

Yes! Mine use sourdough starter discard along with commercial yeast but can be adapted to use without starter. I use a sodium bicarbonate water bath (per the recipe) instead of boiling. Here's the recipe i use and they're delicious.

I was looking for booze?

Thanks yes it is a bit ouch!
No I’m not getting it checked yet just because it’s entirely central and I didn’t feel anything crack, even if it did hairline fracture they wouldn’t do anything for it anyway.
The general rule of thumb is after 3 (or sometimes 4) days if it’s improving it’s unlikely to be broken, if it gets worse then yes you may have broken something. So I’ll wait see how it goes.
It’s really hampering my tea drinking though and that feels quite serious 😂


Thanks TR. It does feel like it might take sometime. Usually I’m good at falling, my forearm (not hand) automatically goes out to break the fall but the cardboard accelerated it to such an extent I hit the chair before I could help myself!
Glad I’ve been taking my vitamin D 😁

I never heard or felt anything break when I fell 7 years ago. I took a huge lump of skin out of my knee (old 50p size) right to the bone. I was more concerned about that and infection to appreciate exactly how many broken ribs I actually had. X-ray said a possible 2, but when things didn't settle (and I didn't believe the x-ray figure) I had a bone scan done. Part way through the scan the technician came through and asked me exactly how many broken ribs did they think I had. I told him I thought it close to 6 or 7 going by how many places hurt. He asked us I would allow him to test how good their new machine was, no extra cost. He confirmed 12 breaks across 11 ribs and said it was probable there were actually 13 breaks in total.

On the bright side, it did confirm why I was in so much pain!

Hope you feel better soon.

It should be a gentle boil, but the last few times I made pretzel rolls, I put them on a rack over a shallow baking dish and spooned the mixture over the rolls.
