I was in primary school with someone who moved to Hermanus and does vehicle restoration.
Yeah that facility doesn't exist anymore except some office there pushing paper and lording over EMEA employees.In the mid 90s I visited the NCR ATM factory in Scotland. The company I was working for at the time tried to sell them face biometric authentication.
That sounds awesome, although probably very expensive and exclusive.
We had these when I was a kid. Every Leap year. It was called something else though - can't remember. It was fun.
To be fair, my 6 year old son would probably look at me like I was stupid, and say, "I know that, dad". I'll see him on Sunday, I will try to remember to ask him.
I don't eat much mayonnaise so I rarely make it. But my hand mixing is not the ideal unless I visit a gym for quite a few workouts.Tried the whisk, aerated rather well but a normal electric mixer gives me a better consistency.
Blender kick ass for making mayonnaise
How do you open a can with a spoon?I don't eat much mayonnaise so I rarely make it. But my hand mixing is not the ideal unless I visit a gym for quite a few workouts.
One of my reasons for not using a blender is my interest in reasonably extreme camping. Like a long mission with minimal equipment, but still having some luxury. I've baked bread on a fire (it rose in my water bottle during the hike - large lid), cooked gemsbok steak directly on a rock in the Fish River Canyon, baked bread in a tin can. Built an oven out of clay. Made muffins 6 days into a hike (granted muffins with dried fruit don't quite compare to what you can get in Checkers!)
It's not that I am some crazy survivalist, I just want a tiny bit of luxury on a multi-day hike, and there are tricks that are useful to know, mostly to save weight.
Not sure why I went on that tangent. In my own kitchen, I have the most expensive equipment I can afford.
But I do like to entertain the idea that I can make a plan without any fancy equipment.
Hell, one of my motos when I was in my late teens was, "when camping, you only need a spoon" - and this still rings true. You can use a spoon to open cans. You can use a spoon to tend the fire. If you must, you can find a rock and sharpen the edge of the spoon. I keep two spoons in my backpack, because if you lose your spoon, you are fucked.
Nice iron bits in your peaches.How do you open a can with a spoon?
I know you can scrape a can on a flat rock for a while to grind it down if desperate
Be careful.Nice iron bits in your peaches.
This is actually not funny. With the record amount of "bloody tourists" (no reference to the 10cc album) from JHB that have moved down here its a pretty believable picture
