the smugness is the prize

coming back to this we absolutely counted the cat incident as a cold chain event and the pinned table has a footnote about it

colin the fridge

we have a running joke about the fridge and a serious pinned table about the fridge, and both are load bearing

alcohol free lager has got genuinely good, which is the single most useful thing i have learned in here

i have a photograph of a cat sitting on a cool box and it is the only illustration this channel needs, not advice obviously

anyone got a recipe that survives being eaten in four bites

cooking a curry i will eat a third of and enjoy every bite of. that is the deal now
i miss coffee more than beer, and the coffee is still there, it just does not like me anymore

somebody will correct the mcg thing before i finish typing this and honestly good, ymmv

the smugness is the prize. there has never been another prize

did anyone watch that last night or am i the only one still awake at this hour

does a cat knocking things over count as a cold chain incident

how many people in here own a jewellery scale for entirely legitimate reasons

sport went the way sport always goes, which is badly and late

genuine question whats everyone cooking, i can look at it even if i cant finish it

who is winning the bet and are they going to be insufferable about it

while im here cat got onto the counter and took out a whole tray, anyone want to guess how many survived

strangest place was a hotel minibar, inside a sock. it survived and i am still proud of it

seven tabs

the fridge thermometer has become a personality trait and i am at peace with that

the jewellery scale gets used for coffee beans more than anything else and it was still a good purchase

i drink fizzy water with a lime in it and pretend, and it is fine, mostly

coming back after 16 months, whats the current in joke, i have lost track completely

how hot is it where everyone is, purely for shipping reasons obviously

quick one whats the record for most fridge thermometers owned by one person

i keep the swabs in a biscuit tin, which is a decision i will defend, i have it written down somewhere

does anyone elses dog know the fridge sound means nothing for him

36 degrees today, which is a weather problem and also a shipping problem

is there a sharps bin that doesnt look like a sharps bin, my mother in law is visiting

its mg not mcg

i told my mother it was for the cat. the cat is fine and my mother is confused
a spreadsheet nobody asked for is my favourite genre of message in this entire archive

i have the spreadsheet nobody asked for, it has seven tabs, and one of them is called cats

the dog has learned the fridge sound and is furious every single week that it is not for him

i own four thermometers and i can explain three of them

my sharps bin has a name as well and i am not typing it in here, i could be wrong

cold chain incident

quick one somebody shared a spreadsheet, then somebody shared a better spreadsheet, and that is how this channel works

star mg not mcg. the correction is faster than the mistake at this point
