Cook at a lower temp for longer. It may say 200 for 8-10mins, do 180 for 12-14. Honest. Edited January 7, 2021 by quilp Time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t do the salt bit, but I do put them under running water and it makes a huge different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Slice them 4 times across the top 1/3 of the way through, add half a clove of garlic, spread butter across the top and sprinkle with dried basil before they're put in t'oven. This has absolutely nowt to do with Covid restrictions, I know. Apologies for the tasty derail... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nom de plume Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 At what point do you believe we will be allowed to start travelling off Island again, by that I mean freely without the need for lengthy (+7 day) isolation periods? When all over 50’s have been vaccinated? Or will our leaders spin this out through the summer until the elections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, if all priority groups are vaccinated there should be no bar to travel but we live in an island where freedom is tightly controlled . Also the only place I know that doesn’t allow support bubbles for people living on their own, the leaders have their families with them so it’s all ok Edited January 8, 2021 by Banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will enable and encourage bubbles to certain countries like the Guernsey one, if there's other safe places to go, over the summer. But I'm expecting nothing remotely sensible till Christmas. Or at least until after the election. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to sound like a doom monger but some politicians in the UK have said that restrictions may continue to next winter. it is a valid question and one that should be asked at the press conferences (I don't watch them so it may well have been asked to be fair) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making predictions is a way to guarantee getting things wrong. But I don't mind being wrong. Best guess for me is that with an acceleration of the vaccination program which will happen in the UK and here, and with decreasing numbers in the UK which will naturally happen due to their lockdown, and warmer weather, we'll see some relaxation by Easter and in summer we'll be good to go. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The test for that freedom is still when the prevalence in UK and Ireland is at or below 1:5,000 or 20:100,000. The latest UK figures are 59:5,000 it 1117:100,000. Long way to go.

If the UK keeps recording in excess of 60,000 cases per day (that they actually know about through testing - possibly three times that figure) coupled with a coherent vaccination programme we’ll be all done by February! No joke ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
