Something going on in Wales!

I won't put it in the terrorist thread because they probably aren't brown people involved.

Rhondda: Investigation begins as girl, 16, dies and two hurt

I posted it in the coronavirus thread. Sounds like someone has stabbed up everyone in a chinese takeaway, so my initial thoughts were nutty racist on a corona related rampage.

edit - rumours saying it's a husband has stabbed his wife and children. grim.

I could post a similar graphic on my sugar intake during lockdown

This represents the amount of sugar intake recommended during a single adult human lifespan
This represents the total world production of refined sugar since 1950.
This represents Lamp's snack cupboard during COVID lockdown.

Today I will be making home-made chocolate hob nobs.
This could be a disaster -I'm using an American recipe
I have to convert their strange measures into proper UK ones

1 UK tablespoon = 4 bald eagle beaks or 6.3 American back-scratcher hands worth

-could +will as their ideas on chocolate are bad

I like the idea. But not the subscription to store video. Aparently in may theres go na be a ring released for 50 quid. but still dont like where and by whom my videos etc are stored by. I am looking in to a local storage option alternative.

They turned out OK

I kept two-thirds plain and a third of them were covered in chocolate

 

[Lamp]

Oh my. They taste better than the shop ones

It was actually a British recipe

And yeah, Americans can't do chocolate

Link? Theres a "British" shop here but they insist on selling fudge and marmelade rather than useful things like hobnobs, chocolate digestives, and black pudding

Recipe:

4.3 Bald eagle beaks of

150g (5oz) Plain flour
150g (5oz) Caster sugar
120g (4 oz) Rolled oats
4g (one teaspoon) Bicarb of soda
150g (5oz) unsalted butter
15g (three teaspoons) golden syrup
300g high quality chocolate for melting

Preheat Oven to 160°C (fan) 180 (non fan)
Line two baking trays with oven-proof paper
Combine the flour + sugar + oats + bicarb in a bowl and mix (I added a little vanilla essence as well)

In a small pan melt the butter and syrup together. Don't boil it just heat it enough so its a little warm

Combine the melted butter and syrup with the other stuff and mix together.
Divide the mixture into 24 slightly flattened rugby ball-shaped objects and place on the baking trays
Cook for 14 mins until golden brown
Allow to cool

Melt the chocolate in a bain marie and smother over the cookies (sorry, biscuits)

Allow to cool, scoff the lot, and tell your other half you dropped them on the floor and had to throw them out to the birds.

Golden Syrup.

I'm not used to working with that stuff.
I tried to use the two teaspoon thing, and of course it glooped everywhere except where it was meant to go
Work surface is stick tacky.

You don't need tactical nukes or sonic weapons. A teaspoon of golden syrup will do it.

Maybe they did that because it re-enforces the existential meaningless felt upon realisation of the abhorrernt depths of wealth disparity?

 

[Scouse]

Don't usually post this sort of maudlin shit - but actually feel quite bad about this one. I've been a semi-regular at Conwy quayside for most of my life and recognise the boat (and will notice the gap).

Now I live nearby it feels a bit more real. Either that, or because of lockdown I'm lacking emotional connections with friends and when something emotive like this comes up in a news story I'm a bit more susceptible to feeling it more deeply.
