disposable heroes of hypocrisy

remember that band

anyway I am off work not feeling too well. my head feels 100kms big and holding it p didnt feel so good so I had a lay down infront of the telly

have you seen the sh!t thats on at this hour?

anyway I was watching kerry anne kennel and there was a segment on environmentally friendly ways to get rid of doggy doo, one was cool, these granules that help the doo dissolve into the ground faster

the next was a cooking segment and the home economist was asked about using baking paper, and the cook told her yes because 'it is less washing up and that's important'

i just love that those were next to each other. surely a light spray of canolla is better for the environment overall because you don't have to wash it, you wipe it down if you have a non stick tray and look: no waste!

I lived with someone who used to be a proffesional cook who always insisted on using baking paper (and was shocked when I said it was fine without it)- when you cook for a lot of people, saving on washing up makes a big difference (financially the cost of the paper is less than the cost for the time it takes to scrub that little bit more - though environmentally and in terms of decreacing un-employment your option is still good). Of course, I didn't care about an extra scrub, so I just carried on much to her dismay.

I do think it strange to assume that what's important for a professional environment is also important at home (strange, but a common mistake that goes for computing as much as cooking) - so if it was about home cooking, I get the impression that the guy didn't understand the target audience.

At least he correctly identified the purpose of using paper, even if he mis-estimated the importance of it. He's got at least half a wit.

chic, the home economist was a chic.

dad and I usually cook stuff swimming in olive oil, but the best bit is afterwards, soaking up all the oil with a piece (or 5) of bread.

yesterday when i was sick, I eventually got up and made breaky and the left over oil and fat got fried into two pieces of bread for me to sandwich my bacon and egg in.
