Chatterbox Thursday

Stay tuned for more on naan breads in about 10 hours.

Edit: same picture as yesterday? Maybe put a bit more effort in, yeah?

Morning you lot!

Back in the office today after a day-off yesterday to attend a funeral.

I'm going to study the hell out of these naan links. Thanks all.

Nearing the end of R&C I think. A boss battle followed by a more difficult boss battle gives one that impression at least.

MST3K - Riding With Death. Another terribly brilliant film, one which appears to be two films in one. Worth a watch, this one.

I prefer this recipe. Sometimes I add onion or mustard seeds. Despite what Nigel says, they should be cooked on a high heat, preferably in a griddle pan, though a normal frying pan will do. It should be a good test of ones smoke alarm. Obviously just do the plain recipe, without anything added, unless you're some sort of deviant.

It's easiest to do one naan at a time, and it takes a few minutes to cook, and they're best eaten hot. So my top tip is to eat alone.

Edit: Also, roll them flat, not into a ball. And 500g of flour is about enough for 8 naans, not 12. Unsalted butter? Yeah, if you happen to have it, but really, who cares as you're adding salt anyway; it's not a cake. Ghee is probably a better medium for frying in, though I've always used olive oil, as per Nigel's instructions.

Games? The PS4 decided it wanted to update, so I watched some TV instead and forgot to go back to it.

Mornin'

Last night I did a couple of the Daily GEs in The Division. I have HZD's DLC, Ass Oranges, Wolfie 2 and Ashes Cricket on consoles to get into but I keep returning to the same well. I have games on PC that I actually want to play but I can't get out of Tom Clancy's New York. He haunts me from beyond the grave! The daft weapon fetishist.

Morning.

No much to report from last night. Home, dinner, rewatched a little more Master of None, worked out while keeping an eye on the football.

At the end of the night I sat down to finish Yakuza Kiwami, but got a call from my mum who needed a recommendation on a smart blu ray player. She just wanted something cheap and functional so I sent her a link, before realising at the last moment it needed a wired connection, as did quite a few others at the lower end of the market. How can that even be a thing nowadays?

Badum-tisch.

No. I've been trying to make my own naans for a while now, in a bid to reduce waste. Which is ironic, as they end up terrible and in the bin.

Oooh! I think I gave up on blood & wine, is that the one with the giant frog? Any tips?

Looks like Wetherspoon's steak club was just as grim as we thought.

However, I was surprised to see that Jamie Oliver sources his zebu from the same place. Or should I have been? His restaurants are somewhere I'd never visit.

I'm at an airport waiting to go to Exeter. The plane looks like something the Wright brothers would have knocked up in their shed for a school project.

Yeah that frog fight was ridiculously hard. It was a while ago but I think the thing that seemed to work was dodging and getting behind it. Took ages though.

...I also may have lowered the difficulty

Morning all,

Some more Rune Factory 4. Looks like I might have finally found a game that I can see through. No pc gaming for a while as my sister has borrowed the laptop that I use for my gaming.


Is that one of the ones that's on Netflix? I had got a couple of the collections a few years ago on DVD that I really enjoyed but never wanted to fork out the money for any more (especially as they tended to fall into the import duties price range if they got picked up). Wil have to give the one's that are up a watch.
