Fortieth

'Twas the morning after the fortieth
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Except the one making the coffee and Alkaseltzer

'Twas the morning after the morning after the fortieth
And all through the house
The creatures were starting to stir but generally still uncomfortable and underperforming

'Twas the morning after the morning after the morning after the fortieth
And all through the house
The creatures were stirring
Even the mouse!
It scurried up the staircase
Squeaking the old well known phrase
"Warning! Duration of hangover is proportionate to age!"

thisisnotmy.email

I run the thisisnotmy.email email service.

What's it all about?

Don’t you hate it when people, businesses, random telephone callers, etc. ask you for your email address out of the blue under the ruse of “providing you a better service”? It's early days but I'm hoping to be able to offer something for people to use eventually.

Peanut Butter Recipe

This is the easiest thing in the world.

  1. Dry-fry (no oil etc.) the peanuts in the large frying pan for about 10 mins or for as long as it takes for the peanuts to become golden brown.
    • This will encourage the oils in the peanuts to release - which is exactly what we want!
  2. Put the now-roasted peanuts into the blender and blend.
    • Blend, blend, blend and blend some more.
    • There will be a point when you think nothing's happening and the small bits of peanut are just moving around the blender, or just stuck in place. Give the stuck pieces a nudge with a spatula and get back to blending.
    • Blend, blend, blend even more until, eventually, the mixture starts to bind together and turn into a thick solid mass.
    • Keep blending and the mixture will loosen up become a lovely, smooth, peanut butter.
  3. Spoon out into a suitable container and allow to cool (or just eat it there and then, I won't judge you).

Top Tips =

  • If you prefer a chunky peanut butter, save some of the roasted peanuts back and only put them into the blended mixture at the end with a bit of a stir - lovely!
