The Retirement Thread

Must admit "tempeh" is a new one on me. I assumed it was a utensil like an airfryer but now think it must be some kind of veggie/lentil thing ???

Maybe you've to keep an eye on it!

Good morning from a grey and chilly Dorset. Late on parade today as the lurgy intensified overnight. I spent a fitfull night upright in the comfy chair in front of the hearth so as not to disturb Mrs Tkk. Made myself a Hot Toddy late yesterday evening, a friend gave me a jar of local Honey last year, it looked a bit like Lemon Curd from the outside and when I took the lid off there was a waxy layer on the top. Took quite a bit of effort to dig out a chunk with a teaspoon but it really helped sooth my throat. Anyway, determined to get out for a walk in the fresh air soon and blow the cobwebs away.

You had yours in separate bowls, get you.

Along the lines of a Goosgog in the hand is worth two on the bush I take it.

We'll make a scouser of you yet! Maybe an honorary one to start with

A bad cold can make you really miserable.

If you did the Sunday housework on Saturday, or even Friday, you could have the day off.

Fermented cooked soybeans.
Got it in a block at a normal supermarket (Morrisons). I will try more with it: the taste/texture was great (obvs with other ingredients).
We are not vegetarian (offspring are), but we don’t have a lot of meat at home. Maybe have more if we are eating out “as a treat”.

Mike,
I have just googled it. £2.00 a box/block at Morrisons. So a cheap option.
Google says it needs boiling to remove the bitterness.....is that correct ?

You can remove the Tyke from Yorkshire, but,
you can't remove Yorkshire from the Tyke.

Not sure: didn’t read the pack 🫣

We were cooking it with the other bits, so perhaps that was needed. It didn’t smell of much at all out of the pack.

We have a tin of it from a whole food shop: I think that can be eaten from the tin…

20 mile spin with the wife, very pleasant although weather changed from dull, overcast threatening to rain to bright sunshine and back again.
Nice to get out for some fresh air though.
