Deseeding tomatoes? That's a new one for me, definitely never seen it in any recipes I've followed.
Same here, I doubt it makes much of a difference but I might try it if I get bored.
Shirley Conran was big in the 1970s, most famous for her remark ''life's too short to stuff a mushroom.'' Even now, some people attempt to peel mushrooms. Why, oh why?
The texture of mushrooms is horrid. The taste supreme.
There's your answer!

The problem with indicating the presence of a viable 4G signal is that problems that you describe won't necessaril;y be known, let alone caused by the mobile provider's network, e.g. slow loading of pages can be caused by congestion in other parts of the internet infrastructure, yet the RF signal from the base station is strong and continuous. Although both of the sites that you mention are probably not closely related in IP address terms, they could be affected by breaking news, e.g. news of a network day with £10 tickets.I'd 100% disagree the flavour is 'supreme' but I won't offer my view on mushrooms. It's not a positive one, that's for sure!
If I could, I'd ban smartphones from saying they have signal and a 4G data signal when they have nothing of the sort. If the '4G' signal can't even load a basic page on this forum, or the RTT homepage, then something's gone wrong! This sort of thing is happening way too often for me lately, and was causing much annoyance on my lengthy journeys yesterday.
There's other things people were doing yesterday that I'd absolutely ban, but equally I'd sooner just click my fingers and banish them from the face of the Earth! That's a bit off-topic for this thread though
It can also be caused by the phone's memory being nearly full...The problem with indicating the presence of a viable 4G signal is that problems that you describe won't necessaril;y be known, let alone caused by the mobile provider's network, e.g. slow loading of pages can be caused by congestion in other parts of the internet infrastructure, yet the RF signal from the base station is strong and continuous.

I had a similar thing happen to me with Virgin. The new customer only cheap contracts should be outlawed and the price should be based on what services you have.
It's not the sole purpose that anybody sees/hears the advert rushes out and buys the goods, - name awareness is a prime reason for repetitive advertising, and by quoting it specifically by name here you have made that process a bit more effective.
I'm quite happy to get 5 copies of the Times, A Saturday copy of the Telegraph and a copy of the Sunday Times free every week, a cup of decent coffee on every visit, a choice of two discount vouchers from eight every week and every 3 months, several pounds worth of vouchers just for allowing my corner shop to know what I spend and where I live.
Well the prices will be higher, the money for these promotion has to come from somewhere.
The money for promotions is recovered in knowledge of their customer's shopping patterns, generally by keeping them on board. Those shops that don't attend to that frequently miss opportunities for aligning their products with what their customer demographic wants. It isn't a zero sum situation where value is depressed by promotion alone.
Please do tell which store this is, because it'd save me several pounds a week right there if I had one in my neighbourhood, but I'm pretty sure I don't! Now that Tesco restrict their discounts to Clubcard holders, it could be argued that there is a disadvantage for those without the card. Sainsbury's haven't quite gone down this line yet, but I can see it coming. Some of the latter's discounts are quite derisory anyway, can be as little as 25p.
and there's me thinking you were a fun guy
If price, as opposed to value is your aim it might not suit you. For me, it's normally Waitrose, - which in my experience is little different to Sainsbury or Tesco if you compare like for like in the product itself, rather than the store's line labelling.*
Agreed... some of the puns that get posted on here are shiit-ake.Dreadful!
Like with hot cross buns, there now seems to be an almost year round market for mince pies.
And much of it will have 'best before' or 'use by' dates well before December 2023.
Funny you should mention that... a couple of hours ago I was on a bus, with a bunch of youngsters sat at the back playing "Last Christmas" by Wham on a smartphone!
They wanted to get some people Whammageddoned early!!
