I regularly pass Brennans in Walkinstown and I end up buying a pan and a packet of king

Even with all the fancy breads around these days, I still find myself going for Brennan's white sliced pan.

I just had the same experience in three supermarkets w.r.t. bread. In the last of the three I found some crackers, a pack of four bake-yourself ciabatta and a sourdough overlooked in the Health Food section.

Good tip for the Apocalypse: check behind health food items.

Sitting here in the office and every time a little flurry comes my colleagues dash for the window to look. Hopefully we get covered in snow because we've been given the option to work from home if we do get a covering but I can walk in and I'll have the place to myself

Have you decided which one you will eat first?

Its obvious: the one he loves less.

Or the fattier one.

What's with the dead straight route lines on the map, too?

How come there's no flybys? A privacy thing?

Don't you only get one if there's a group and not for individuals?

You should get it for anyone, so long as they are not private.

Cool, I thought you only got it when you were at least other, never noticed it for solo activities.

You'll get it for anyone on Strava (cycling or running/walking) who comes within 250 metres (?) of you when you're out (provided they are not private).

You may be confusing it with the "Joe Soap rode with Wishbone Ash" type of message which is when people ride in a group or happen to be close to another cyclist and going in the same direction for a considerable period.

You can turn it off in your privacy settings.

Going cycling with my personal trainer mate is proving useful. That and a hrm have been my best tool, I've got rid of the Nov/Dec piggery and pintery and I piled it on so much my favourite suit didn't fit

It was fairly mild. They went to the velodrome and spoke about engaging your core and improving your pedalling style. They said a cadence of over 90 is good for weight loss. I question this! I guess it depends on what cadence you're used to spinning.

Ok who was it...

Thats not actually a motorway is it? Doesn't look wide enough or treated enough for that matter. He's looking like he's moving a bit better than the cars too

Most modern breads are made by Chorleywood Bread Process, developed in UK in the 1960's. Before that bread had 4 ingredients, sourdough only 3 as it has natural yeasts

Simple old school breads can be delicious and have decent nutritional value, most modern sliced pans/rolls barely qualify as food.

If ever at beach in Tramore local bakery does a brilliant sourdough

Alek

I bake sourdough once/twice a week, my family would not touch anything from the store.

Chorleywood Bread Process

Thanks for this, I always wondered how can you make such an easy recipe taste so artificial. I'll have a read.

With plenty butter, starch, salt and texture of bread the food reward rev limiter must be in the red zone!

Nice habit, common in Poland? I suppose you do keifir to?

Jaysis, any time! I'm yet to force myself not to devour a huge slice with butter (or two!) when its freshly baked... around 11pm usually

Nice habit, common in Poland?

In the olden days, yes. Now mostly hipsters. But then what you get in shops is more palatable than here - similar to stuff you can get in Lidl.

Not really, but started experimenting with souring vegetables recently. Kimchi-style, like sauerkraut, very trad for southeastern Europe. In Romania they sour everything, from apples through tomatoes to watermelons!
