This seemed a fun way to eat more fish. My first chowder experience.
I bought the Cully & Sully salmon and haddock chowder from Morrison's £2.40 for a 400g tub and actually looked larger than expected.
You heat it for 2 minutes, stir, reheat for another 2 minutes and then rest for 1 minute.
All seems straightforward but it was one of those awkward lids. You don't know whether there is a hidden seal on the seal or if you press remove the tab and pull off the lid.
The tab actually came off easily. Pulling the lid wouldn't budge at all. I began to suspect a hidden lid, I used the scissors to try and scrape so it would become loose, no joy..
Just as I gave up and grabbed the top, the lid miraculously came undone..... What on earth??
My hands are sore after that but I'm looking forward to tasting it and seeing if all that nonsense was worth it.
Oh by the way, today is the first time I felt cold and shivery. It's since warmed up but I almost grabbed the blankie and switched it on.
The only reason I didn't was both fans were dead and refusing to charge so that made me nervous, incase it quickly heated up and I felt suffocated.
I'm just waiting for the chowder to cool, hopefully it didn't spill. I want something light, not much of an appetite.
Suddenly more thirsty than hungry..
I got to say, that was pretty tasty, creamy, bits of veggies and potato, tiny bits of fish, great seasoning, not salty.
I would get that again and refer to this on how to open it.
I feel really bloated so once again my appetite is up and down but I tried the Morrison's Thai green chicken and rice, that was really tasty, no hint of spice and I'm not bothered.
But really delicious mix and some veggies included. I think just a bit more sauce would have been nice.
I changed my twitter profile picture to the reddit one, the girl at the computer, it's just so cute.
Oh talking of reddit, up popped this age verification thingy. Prove you are over 18 years old..
I felt like it locked up my profile so I thought as I had taken those recent selfies, why not just send one of those..
Hmm didn't work out like that.. Before I begin, as I'm insanely private I don't give exact details..
So with the date of birth (that you can't change, unless you contact them and fake you made a mistake)...
I put the correct year, but I don't put my day or month as correct, companies are too damn hungry for personal information that they are selling off or providing to the Government/law enforcement..
There is no reason, you can't simplify it to maybe just an eye scan or hand or hair..
Anyway, it turns out, I couldn't do the passport thingy, it would have my real date of birth...
I selected the selfie option and up came a camera.... You cram your head in a circle and for some reason, motion left or right..
Then it takes ages to click and capture the image, the first time, it didn't verify and the second time it went quickly and did it.
Apparently it's encrypted and deleted at some point. I had no makeup on, greasy hair and looking like a mess, but I didn't really care to be honest.
Then straight away my account was normal again and I suspect my activity was viewable to visitors again.
It's like some things I make a big deal out of and others I shrug and just do it.
But the Mistplay app, comes to mind, where they kept collecting more and more information.... Why?
Name, email address, phone number and then finally a photo?? I don't understand why you need that, just to supposedly verify me..
It's too much. I'm always aware of identity theft because it's happened to me, via money being stolen, or attempted transactions but I was emailed/called and questioned prior to it being processed and I told them straight these are fraudulent.
And they were stopped and no money was taken but it's still scary.
Suddenly being an open book, doesn't sound so great...?!
