My kitchen adventures continue

[andrewducker]

Five years ago we got the kitchen refitted, and it was awesome to go from not having a dishwasher to...having a dishwasher. The only thing left to do was the tiling, and we were a bit short of cash, so we left that until we had some more savings.

Three years later I managed to half burn the kitchen down, so now there was a big black patch over where the tiling wasn't.

Today, finally, I got a tiler in. Specifically, this one in Liberton. And I was recommended them via Facebook, they organised everything over Facebook Chat, and then they arrived this morning at 8:30am, and were out by the time I got back, having transformed this:

Sadly, I had to make the bolognese myself, but I am _really_ happy with the way it all looks.

Now I just have to not burn it down again for a bit.

The point of pressure cookers, as I understand it, is that you take something that normally takes hours and you apply Science! to it and it takes deca-minutes instead.

We have an instant pot and it's great. It's basically a pressure cooker with extra computery stuff to stop you doing stupid things.

Oh, you can still do stupid things with it:

Am I right in thinking that if the guys in that video hadn't been impatient idiots and had just let the pressure equalise naturally, they'd have had tasty soup and no mopping?
