Don't you just peel it open then cut a grid into it before dumping it in the pan?

 

Well, I preferred the days when you dropped it into the pan and it was nice loose mince.

Parked up outside of Sittingbourne in Kent. 
As I exited the ablutions hole, a lad pulls up in a van with, 

“Ask me about our famous Kentish Gypsy Tarts!” lathered all over the side. 
 

So I did. 
 

My mind was naturally thinking- “Wahey, man’s got a load of dusky cockney Salmas in the back, ready to read my palm then drain my sack!”

 

Nope- they’re a local delicacy, apparently. 
 

 

The lad could obviously tell I was deflated, and instead of a blowy off Madam Zaza, he gave me a freebie (see above). 

The filling is brown sugar and evaporated milk, whisked to fuck, then baked in the case. 
 

Diabetus in a tasty bite. 
 

 

Hey ho, off to my “social media” to look up Gypsy Tarts, see if I can get the recipe…

Because I use my potato masher.

As long as you're buying decent mince with a fairly high fat content, it should cook well enough.

It'll cook fine but in a slab.

 

Cottage slab for tea dear ?, or would you prefer slab and dumplings.

Oof! 
 

It’s not like they painted it bright yellow with some red warning stripes to make it easy to see either! 
 

And they put it on the path, not the road, the sneaky fuckers.

Cottage mince? Yes, it’s pedantic but there is no reference to mince in cottage pie.
 

I am ashamed. Be better.

Shepherds pie is lamb, obviously 🙄

Neither shepherd’s, pie, cottage or pie again are the word mince.

I thought you were talking about the recipe, I didn't realise the depths of your pedantry.

Classic example on how life just gets incrementally worse and more complicated. 

I spent half an hour yesterday trying to log into my fucking CAR yesterday when it inexplicably logged me out and presented me with a QR code. FFS.

I had to do the same this morning as I was picking up my new car. It is a very difficult process but let me break it down for you:

 

Camera > click link > log in? > Yes

 

Job done.

 

Or get one of your grandkids to do it for you.

Except the app on my phone needed a password because my phone had not remembered it. So I had to use LastPass to retrieve the password, but that had reset and I needed the master password for that to get in, which I had also forgotten. Which is on a virtual post it on my laptop which requires a password..... Half an hour is an exaggeration but what a fucking faff man. And for what? What fucking genius decided my car should have a personalised account? Why? Who the fuck else even uses it? 

[ewerk 30405]

It’s for when the cops inevitably impound your mobile drugs shop.

 

Do you not write all your passwords down in a notebook like all your friends at the pensioners’ supper club?

[ewerk 30405]

Or just click the guest driver option.

Set Google Authenticator up for Lastpass. That way you can make your password something relatively easy to remember cos you need a constantly refreshing code to access the app anyway.

Cheers. Will look into this, although LastPass on mine is biometric usually (although sometimes requests a PW).

[Gemmill 44559]

It's a piece of piss to set up. Mine is biometric too, but better to have the additional security AND be able to have a password you can actually remember.
