@XantheClay @edcumming Team thin pancake and granulated sugar! I had 5 but don’t tell anyone

Why I’m Team thin pancake, while ⁦@edcumming⁩ is in the thick, puffy, bloated, sweet American corner 🙄😂 telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink…

@XantheClay @TelegraphFood Lavazza Gold! They saw me coming - anything with gold in the title, but I do love it.

☕️So, Twitter, what's your favourite brand of coffee beans/ground coffee? (Available in the supermarket or widely - not speciality coffee this time! nor mail order only.) I'd love to know to make sure I don't leave it out of the tasting for @TelegraphFood - thank you guys

@JamesRamsden_ @Nigella_Lawson It works at the other end of the scale quite well - I have published “the Gilmartin Family cookbook - a collection that is both random and delicious” and it went down a storm with all 5 recipients 😁. Seriously though, why not? Your audience clearly enjoys what you do…

Just posted a photo instagram.com/p/CplInAHMDKo/…

@scoopwibbler ? In 1994 you were at UWE having just finished your PhD in biosensors, doing a post doc and getting ready to marry me you donut 🍩 🤣. I remember you drawing this.

Drew this for my mom after I’d been kicked out of Archbishop Grimshaw school in 1994!

@XantheClay Oh joy now there’s something to look forward to 😶

Veganuary press releases coming in

@NikiB2018 @timspector @RealBread Just wondered if it was wholemeal or that delicious granary malted stuff? The malted stuff sends my levels sky high, while the wholemeal is much better.

@timspector @RealBread Had a slice of my homemade, whole grain sourdough while wearing the Zoe monitor. Sugar level instantly theough the roof. It seems that for some of us homemade doesn’t help much.

Réal bread campaign highlights how consumers are being ripped off by fake sourdough due to poor food labelling regulations and compliant supermarkets @RealBread

@AndyLynes In a difficult position, she not only managed to thrive, but spent time and effort showing others how to do the same. If that was her route out of poverty Good for her. Most of us wouldn’t have looked back, however she is still committed to helping others.

@XantheClay I adore them. For catching the used tea bag mountain, for the perfect sized pudding, for those tiny scraps to put in the fridge- in fact I collect everyone else’s unloved ones from the charras!

Is there any bit of crockery more annoying than ramekins? Used once a year, don’t stack properly, take up disproportionate amount of space, don’t quite match but not in a cool way. (Moved on to cupboard organisation)

@katehawkings Fig vinegar like the romans used to make!

FIG TWITTER: any ideas for what to do with loads of home-grown figs? Asking for a friend who says poaching them makes their skins go tough, and frankly there’s a limit to how many you can drizzle with honey and serve with fresh cheese 🧐🙏

@XantheClay Was in toolstation just yesterday as it goes - a rather lovely masonry brush and toupret flexible filler are now in my possession 😀

Weirdly find visiting Toolstation/Screwfix rather thrilling. All that *useful stuff*

Some folk have said nice things about my book recently, which makes me feel less like an impostor, so I thought I’d mention it, in case anyone wants a book to help them get started with fermenting at home. It covers all the basics; at Amazon or my website or the fermentary😀

@gaydarke @fabianharrison_ Of course - it was absolutely fantastic!

@fabianharrison_ @everygoodthing9 have you or Markus been?

Delighted to be back with @Natures_Voice for a few months as one of their new wardens at the bee eater colony in Norfolk! Monitoring these birds each day is just the best 🤩

Pre diabetes; in our clinic we get normal blood glucose again for 93% of our clients who choose a low carb approach Yes 93% 😊 So easy details published here nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/…

Our Kraut for Kyiv and Kvass for Kyiv are now fermented, jarred up and ready to buy. All proceeds to the DEC Ukraine Appeal. Donate & savour a taste of the Ukraine at the same time. Shop at everygoodthing.co.uk #UkraineAppeal

Question from a non-medic … If someone has had their entire colon removed, and thus their entire colonic microbiota, and if the microbiota is as vital as we think it is, how do these these folk still thrive?

…When your husband flashes his finished wordle at you before you’ve even had a chance to look at it???? 23 hours to wait now grrrrrr……

@XantheClay But without the very large type label, how would I know either it was Garlic or when to throw it in the bin?

Supermarkets. Garlic does not require a net bag.
