There was a dog grooming salon in Nottingham with curtains over the windows. Other than the woman who ran the place, no one (or dog) ever went in or came out that we saw.

I moved from gmail to Infomaniak about a month ago. Seems great so far.

No, no, no, you’re thinking of iMacs which are Apple’s all in one desktop offering. But they can definitely run MacVim.

Huh, I never noticed any issues when I used to use gvim (a fair few years back, mind). What’s the problem with it?

Learn to use Vim. It can be anywhere and everywhere.

If UK-made is ok and you want to cook the Argentinian way (and you have a fat wallet) then the Somerset Grill asados look amazing. One has been on my wish list for a while now.

Thanks, post edited to include the non-web reference.

In 2003, Clarke reported having been told that the Dalai Lama had found the story “very amusing”.

You can make a danger fraught side quest to uncover the names you must not know.

“… overhead, without any fuss, the stars were going out.”

If it’s just the one potato then I’d oven bake it until the skin was crisp; half it and scoop out the flesh; mix the flesh with butter, grated cheese, crumbled bacon or pancetta, chives or spring onions, salt, pepper, maybe some chilli flakes; spoon the mixture back into the skins; and give it another 10-15 minutes in the oven.

“People not coming to the US on vacation will be labelled as foreign terrorists. They’re doing great harm to a tremendous American industry.” - Trump, probably

Watch out for the UK government removing the requirement for Country Of Origin labelling on food. If even a whiff of it stinks up your nostrils then chlorinated US chicken will surely follow.

I’ve never specifically thougt about where I source my kitchen knives but I have:

• Sabatier Aîné & Perrier¹ 20 cm chef’s knife and a paring knife, carbon steel, olive handles.
• Wüsthof 20 cm chef’s knife
• Henckels boning knife
• Victorinox filleting knife, an insanely dangerous tomato knife, and half a dozen paring knives which get used for everything and are so cheap you’d be mad not to have a few.

So, I guess I’ve been buying European as long as I’ve been buying kitchen knives.

1. Back in the early 19th century, two separate knife makers, both called Sabatier, started making knives in Thiers, France. There weren’t any real trademark laws back then and many other ‘Sabatier’ manufacturers appeared. By the 1970s there were as many as 30 different manufacturers all using the Sabatier name. Some of them were really cheap crap. Sabatier Aîné & Perrier are one of the two originals, and I really like their knives.

I have two I take on every holiday with me for cooking, one I use for veggies, one I use for meat. Whether it’s camping or self-catering, I always have sharp cooking knives. Both carbon steel too, for that harder edge.

Why did we give up the joy of shopping locally and in-person for convenience?

Time and convenience.

Going to a local independent bookshop, or whatever, is almost always a better experience. Going to specialist shops is almost always a better experience. But Amazon offers everything: and order can be done and dusted from your sofa in one minute, and you don’t need to bother figuring out who stocks what you want since Amazon has it. And if you have Prime, you’ll have it the next day with zero shipping costs.

Sure, it’ll probably be counterfeit but… time and convenience.
