CAt owners: some questions ...

You need a fork to get it out of the tin and possibly mash it up (e.g.
for old toothless moggies). And a tin-opener, although they're mostly
ringpull jobs these days.

 

Some people have specific forks / spoons / whatever for scooping the
goop out.

I reckon it's a good idea. I shall try and remember to try it myself.
Personally I like lots of ice, but I'm often forgetting the fruit so it
should, at least, solve that problem.

I'm under very little stress, so knock yourself out.

 

OIC.

I use sachets for our beast - just squeeze it out whilst it head-butts
your hand, knocking the food all over the place.

 

I get it now - was having a "half asleep" moment earlier.

 

here's another top-tip, if you make a lot of spiced food, given to me
by my mate Yogi.

Chop up a lot of garlic, chillies, coriander, ginger, cumin, etc. and
puree it, than put the mix into those "ice cube bag" things you can
buy in the supermarket, and freeze.

Then when you want to fire together a quick curry/chilli/ariabiata
etc, just pop a couple of the frozen mixtures in along with the meat/
onions/tomatoes - fast food that's still "proper".

 

What a faff. We use garlic out of a tube anyway, and the rest of them
will take, what, about a minute to do? I really can't see it's saving
anything at all, except possibly the need to keep fresh coriander[1]
in stock, which isn't a probem in the UK anyway.

The onions will take longer than the other stuff anyway, so why not
chop and freeze them as well?

[1] Over here it's quite difficult to find, so we buy quite a lot ,
with roots on, from an Asian shop in Basel then keep it sealed for
freshness.

 

Yeah, we use mostly sachets these days too, but still tins on
occasion. Well, actually, they eat mainly dry stuff, what we buy in
15kg sacks, but wet food perhaps every day or so as a treat.

 

Public sector, innit.

Neat. I do something similar with ginger, but not the rest.

well, say no more.

We grow it. If it can thrive in a Wearside allotment I'd have thought
you'd have no problem where you are. Seasonal, of course.

 

And very short-lived. We've grown it in pots indoors, but it gives
such a small amount that one decent meal is all a plant will provide.

And even if we could keep the pests off, an outdoor growth will only
remain in leaf for a couple of weeks before going to seed, so you
effectively have to reseed about once a fortnight for a continuous
crop.

So instead we just buy two or three bags at a time, each containing
five or six complete stems, root-on, which will last for ages in the
fridge, for a couple of francs a bag. Means a special visit to the
shop, but it's just round the corner from Jude's office, now she's
back working as a consultant in the same building whe was in before
being sacked last year.

 

They sell it by the tonne over here in the local market. The fact that the
market mostly caters for Algerian probably has something to do with it.

I bought some frozen ginger in cubes when Aldi had it on special a
few years ago. So far I've used about two cubes...

Oh good-oh. Glad that worked out for her. She won't have to cut your pocket
money now...

 

Hehe. Now she's back at work I can let go a bit, which means I'm now
off sick for the next four weeks. Ah well...
