I don't know what's the matter with me this morning!  I did put it on your talk page after all, but couldn't find it for some reason.  Thanks for sorting.  There are several makes of spiralisers and some may have been discontinued, but they really are very good.  I have one of those Oxo Julienne thingies and never use it as cannot work it properly. Not even sure if I have it here as I did leave behind quite a bit of stuff that I didn't use.I think it was that, that made us decide on getting a spiraliser.  JB xx

NOW COOKING :

CHEF'S COOK SOON

Fassolia Gigantes-Elefantes Kastorias

Meant to say that they sent me the wrong beans, ie non PGI, non Greek ones. Replacements received yesterday, so will do a photo before the weekend. Had Xray on hands this morning, possible ostheo-arthritis :-( Always painful in the winter months, but far worse this year. Chicken and bacon pilaf tonight at cookery lesson, so that'll be one for MFA to eat. A whole bulb of garlic on the ingredients list which has to be mashed using salt and a knife (no crushers allowed). Going to be 'fun' doing that the way my hands are atm JB xx

Ok thanks for that. Hope it's not O.A. :-( Cookery sounds fun - perhaps you can use your feet?

Bold

Just added Beurre noisette (TM) and it seems that I cannot make anything 'bold' even though I clicked on the appropriate link. Trying to embolden the TMX directions as usual. Any suggestions?? JB xx

I made some changes to the bold styles as on desktop browsers was ridiculously emphasized. I think it's an issue related to the browser / device being used. I can see bold on 10 minutes / 50 C / Speed 3 etc.

Keep emboldening as usual and I will take a look at the code next week and see if I can improve it.

That's interesting as cannot see any bold using Opera, Chrome or IE! Also am getting various largish orange square on pages with text in them such as 'LargeRectOverLogoCP' in this case placed immediately above the CP logo. I am using the default skin btw. JB xx

OK, thanks for that. It's probably the device rather than the browser then. I changed the bold from being 'bold' to 30% bold (or similar). I guess some devices won't display the very slight differences. I guess at > 50% bold they will display all bold, less than 50% they probably show normal text. I've reverted the change so we're very bold now :-)

(You may need to reload the page to see the change on pages you have recently viewed.. Ctrl R on a PC or by adding a suffix to the url to purge the cache:)

eg: https://www.cookipedia.co.uk/recipes_wiki/Proven%C3%A7al_tapenade_(TM)?action=purge

The orange squares are where the ads would be but are disabled for logged in users, so as not to annoy :-) The text in them is just an identifier for my info.

Spicy mango chicken

Making this for MFA today. Can you confirm that the chicken is added back to the pan at the same time as the chicken stock? I already have it on the go and that is what I have done, but just wanted to check before I amend the recipe. Thankfully she is much better now and able to eat, but she was in terrible pain last week :-( She's back to work today, but I am sure she picked up the infection from the hospital itself! JB xx

Goat stew photo

Morning! Could you look at this photo please? It was a photo which I rotated to change orientation and saved as such. However, upon uploading it rotated itself back to how it was and have no idea why. I get the same with Facebook sometimes too. Surely if you rotate and save, it should stay that way? My aunt liked it very much but MFA said that whilst it was nice, she didn't enjoy it because she was watching a programme about goats on the TV at the same time as eating it. She now wants to be 'almost' vegetarian now, as a result, except for pork. She's been through this before though, so I don't suppose it'll last long. JB xx

PS I thought it woud just link to it rather than show a massive image!

Hi

Image rotated and uploaded. I bet you probably did what I just did. I rotated the image, went to upload it and found it was the same orientation. I had not saved it! Anyway, uploaded now - looks nice.

I did look at your spiro-thingy, but it looked like a KTel gadget of the 70's. I also notice that most sellers seem to have discontinued it. I got one of these instead - saw it at lakeland and bought it from Amazon - delivered, for £4 less!

You may need to refresh the goat curry page to see the correct orientation (Ctrl R)

Sending you an email too.
