  1. How do you go about freezing your beans? They've not come out very good when I've tried with french beans in the past. I normally wait for the glut to fully ripen and then keep the dried beans.
  2. Who said anything about vegan? I think you need to look up the difference between that and vegetarian.
  3. As mentioned earlier, Beans are key. 21% protein, 77% complex carbohydrate (the kind that give a slow and steady energy, rather than the spike you get with highly refined carbs like High-fructose corn syrup). Other legumes are available.
  4. Plus one. You can also eat the fruit.
  5. I don't think that anyone is saying that MEAT IS BAD. Just that an excess of industrially produced meat is bad. (As in the example at the start of this thread. Which wasn't even supposed to be about agriculture/obesity/meat vs veggie etc!)
  6. Want to live until you're 100? Expert who's spent decades exploring 'blue zone' phenomenon reveals why bread and beans could help you live longer | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Dan Buettner an explorer, a National Geographic fellow, and a leading blue zone researcher, believes the answer to a long...
  7. Talking of tosh. I think you are confusing ultra processed "diet" foods with natural, largely plant based, whole foods, . Since when have nut and plant oils been bad for you? Nuts and seeds are some of the healthiest things out there.
  8. I know exactly what you mean. We went for what should have been a nice walk last weekend, but it was somewhat spoilt by all the mud everywhere. That was meant to be a public footpath.
  9. I just want less rain! And more frost. Parts of UK may have had wettest February on record WWW.BBC.CO.UK Weather data to be released on Friday will also likely show that this winter was less frosty than normal.
  10. Yes. They couldn't feed all the corn surplus to cattle so they had to find something else to do with it. Another Nixon triumph, this was all down to his man Earl Butz back in the early 70s.
  11. Yes, I was sad to hear this earlier. Always enjoyed their cheerful, down-to-earth style.
  12. My, this thread has taken a turn. So the culprits here might be Feeders. Who knew that Feederism was a thing? There's a fetish for everyone these days!
  13. Ogallala Aquifer - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  14. It's not quite the only way. The other way is to not eat copious amounts of meat every day. The American diet is probably the worst in the world, from various perspectives.
  15. So my brother has just sent me this, (he must of been idly google maps scrolling, obviously a busy day at work). Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.COM Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. Cattle farming, Texas style. The scale and nature, (or lack of), of it is a bit obscene. It's vast. Those crop circles are weird too, due to centre pivot irrigation. Anyone else seen interesting stuff somewhere?
  16. It's got some impressive stats. Harder and denser than Oak, and more durable than Sweet Chestnut. I've turned a few bits and pieces. It looks very attractive but can be tricky to get a decent finish as it's so hard.
  17. That looks good. We could do with a supplier like that in the UK. It would be nice to have a readily available alternative to tanalised softwood timber, (which normally rots after not many years anyway).
  18. Thank goodness, I've not slept for days!
  19. Good work! That looks like Oak to me. If it was in front of me I would smell it to confirm. It has a quite distinctive aroma, reminiscent of vinegar to my nose. What can you smell? Oak can split really easily like you've found, if it's fresh, straight, clean stems. I had some recently that was like that.
  20. What's the the middle class white dollop, mashed potato? Does it approximate to hash browns in a fry up?
  21. No need to worry about road markings or signs. As long as you stick your hazards on and keep you engine running, you can park wherever you like.
  22. In praise of Proper bacon from a proper butcher! Great big thick rashers and non of that horrible white gunge that you get from supermarket bacon. Lovely for a Sunday sarnie. The difference between the two sorts is marked. This was an organic butcher so should be even less other "stuff" in it
  23. THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

    Would anyone like this book? I'm never going to use it, but really don't want to through it away. I'm not looking for a lot of money, just enough to cover postage and a pint maybe!
