Tools worthy of a mention.

I purchased a wok for the wife's Christmas present once, it still gets brought up years later, as does the pie maker a year later.....I thought they were pretty good presents. Blokes are like a dog with two dicks when they get an electric drill as a present but give a girl a food processor😡

Well I bought the wife a Magimix Cook Expert, wi the cocotte thrown into the deal, for Christmas, in the Jan sales.

And she is like a lamb wi two tails.

Makes a perfect and very visually pleasing 3lb loaf every time, dough  prepped in the Magimix CE, including the 2nd proving in the cocotte, then baked in the traditional oven, while still in the cocotte.

Much more reliable than the Panasonic breadmaker.

Pics to follow.

Bet it knocked your teeth out!  Bet you even eat a Mars bar upside down for the texture!

This is a tap wrench , worthy of a mention in case like me you think "it's only £20, how hard can it be to change the bath taps, only a couple of nuts."

 

Take the £20 down the pub, buy a pint and call a plumber.

 

Otherwise, after an hour of messing about draining the system then wriggling and farting about banging elbows and twisting wrists under the bath undoing nuts you can just about see and almost get your hand onto, like me you realise that getting the old ones off was in fact the easy bit and another two hours of swearing are to come while you try to line up and do up the new taps and stop them leaking.

Year . I got a couple of those . I call it a tap spanner so as not to confuse it with the tool for holding a tap to cut an internal thread . Also called a " tap wrench " 🙂
