The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

I tried it as a pub meal once and didnt like it but as you intimate there must be various qualities and various cooking methods/abilities.

Yes, the pub stuff usually bears faint resemblance to proper Halloumi which was originally just sheep and goats milk. Because that's in relatively short supply compared to the amount of cows they started adding cows milk. You can still get the authentic stuff but it's usually a little more expensive. I have a friend who is Lactose intolerant but she can eat genuine halloumi without the usual digestive issues she gets if she ingests cows milk.
Here's the recipe I am going to follow ( but I will use a Air fryer )

I’m glad I don’t have any food intolerances. Must be a pain…..literally!

My only (known) intolerance is Cashew nuts. All nuts give me a bit of a 'tingle' in my mouth, but Cashew!!! Not a nice result.

Good afternoon.
I have made a claim for my stolen phone which has been approved.
They are going to send me a like for like so although I have already bought a new phone, I have a buyer for the replacement already. So I can recoup a bit of the outlay for the new purchase.

Dont get me wrong here as I know it really happens but...... as kids we never heard of anyone being allergic/intolerant of certain foods.

I hate being sick. It often makes me feel faint too.

Wonder what caused it? I wouldn't have thought broccoli and cheese would.

You are right, the brocoli and cheese sauce is probably innocent, the six cans of Guinness however ?? 😂

I’ve just watched the 2026 remake of Wuthering Heights. It was OK.

I liked her from the 1st time I heard and saw her.....Sue couldn't stand her. I still enjoy her music.

I saw her do a duet live with Rowan Atkinson, worth watching on YouTube.

I get a free train pass for Mersey rail now, so I could get to Warrington for free and let a certain bloke buy me a pint.
