A nice 350g wagyu rump and a 750g sirloin. The Wagyu was an off-the-cuff thing I spotted at Asda, the sirloin was from the Parson's Nose (who do amazing meats). Salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, vacuum bagged. 2h for the sirloin (2" thick, longer time), and 1h for the rump. Both at 60deg. Quick sear in a pan with some olive oil. Served with some proper home-made chips, long stem broccoli with pesto and roasted pine nuts, and a variety of home-made sauces (chimichurri, pepper sauce, steak sauce) and a bottle sauce (everyday Chilli Sauce from Sauce Shop. Lovely.

Austria went a out their job excellently and were unlucky with the disallowed goal. Wales were a bit weird, they all looked angry and pissed off from start to finish 😬

Italy were very lucky last night! Austria put up one hell of a performance and dominated large parts of the second half. They really grew into the game and the Italians were flat out of ideas for the most part. Also their first goal conceded in 12 games. They are definitely there for the taking against a bigger team.

Yep, agreed @J4MES OX4D and @phil bottle. Good first Round of 16 matches to watch. I was gutted for Austria as they really gave it all, not just for 90 mins either. Italy though still look dangerous. If you can win not on your best day, then this will help to wake them up for the Quarters.

Well, I certainly know where I'm staying when I visit the States. I'll book two seats on the return trip. Hopefully next to each other, be a bit awkward otherwise.

I did my first official race, a night trail run: 7.23 mi Distance 1:11:54 Time 9:57 min/mi Avg Pace 371 ft Elev Gain 62nd out of 475, 13th in my age/sex group. I was a little off my pace. I had to quit running for about a month because I tore some muscles in my abdomen, and that hurt my training regime of course. Plus, you know, taco trucks out west. 😄

Wales soundly beaten by Denmark 4-0. They started reasonably well but the Danes soon took control of the whole game who become the first team to reach the Quarters after losing the first two matches.

This is on sale now on Steam too!

Cracking trailer. Can't wait to see how this will pan out for future cross overs with other marvel films.

Thanks dude, i wasn't sure about this one to be honest when i first heard about it, but this trailer definitely makes it a must see one for me. It will be interesting to see how they link it in to the rest of the MCU, especially given the appearance of what looks like Abomination at the end of the trailer.

I don't think they will go much beyond that film / other shang-chi films. It's not the direction they are taking with this phase in terms of the overall plot.

When the seasons start to change, I obviously start to crave different flavors. However, eating raw fruits and raw veggies isn't actually something my body allows. I think I ate my lifetime allotment of cherries and nectarines as I used to eat crates of them. So, what's a girl to do when she wants cherries? Make a cake, obviously. The simplest, easiest cake possible... only complicated by certain steps because I know better. They call these "spoon cakes". I guess it's sort of a riff on a cobbler? Just with more... cobbler in the ration instead of fruit? Lol. I don't know. I just make and eat things. It's not exactly photogenic. It's ugly but so yum. Also, @GazzaGarratt said "pics or didn't happen" haha. Lastly, this really only takes 15 minutes to put together... any where from 25 - 40 minutes baking. I only spent like 3 hours dawdling around after I initially logged off because I "bake at my own speed". Which means, I also do other things (play with my dog, play some games of Sudoku, browse the internet, think about what my next actual meal is). I also wanted to brown the butter. I could have toasted the flour too, but the last time I did that, @TurboR56Mini said it smelled like burned bodies or whatever. This would have been better if I toasted the flour lol. Here's tonight's "Chocolate Cherry Almond Browned Butter Spoonable Cake with Pie Crust Ice Cream". (If you wonder why I work out so much and so hard.. this is partially why)

I love trail running as long as I wear the correct footwear but I only own 3 pairs of running shoes but last year I ran this event and to date is the hardest trail I've run. Not sure what happened to the map as it's a garmin issue as I get the same on the garmin connect app.
