Following On Bob's Coat Tails...


Recommended Posts

AAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

I could kill for that right now.....

 

Sadly though I am on a diet since the beginning of Feb following years of neglect for my general state of fitness.

My target is to lose 3 1/2 stone to get my BMI back into the top end of the "healthy weight" range before the summer. I am over half way already but it has meant avoiding things like bread, beer, and anything fried, so like I said, I could kill for those bangers and beer right now.

 

Oh well, the sooner I hit my target the sooner I can indulge in such things again, just not over indulge.

 

I trust you enjoyed your dinner :-)

No bangers for me either - or butter - or full-fat milk - or cheese...

 

Cholesterol's too high and I have a three-month target to get it back to normal. Luckily, I don't have any problem in giving things up (apart from watches, of course), so it's going well. No statins for me if I can help it.

I'd love to have that recipe! They look sooo good! I almost bit the screen! :)

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

 

PS. Can we have a walkthrough? Pleeeeease!

 

Too simple for a walkthrough, Bob.

 

All is done in a cast iron fry pan (real men cook in cast iron) :)

 

Chop onions, add a little oil in pan, add onions and a spot of water, cover and cook on med/low heat. Clear a space in pan and place bangers, add a little more water if needed to steam, cover and cook a little more. Uncover, turn up heat, brown all and put in a soft roll.

 

Easy peasy

    • The UK lots can be a 404 hit or miss, 6 - 10 watches can come in anywhere from 20 - 50 quid. I once had a 404 division of 8 watches for a fraction over 30 quid, one of them was a Smiths Astral model National 17 an absolute certainty for winner contender. The crystal was scrached up to the point of being very difficult to see the brand, something triggered a gut feeling in me and it paid off.
    • I just picked up this Mondaine quartz watch on tradera.com for £11. It's a non-runner so I will replace the Ronda movement (£10.95 at Cousins), polish the case, replace the case-back gasket, and replace the mineral crystal. Now, the problem is finding a suitable crystal. The original crystal is slightly domed (2.4mm thick dome), measures 36.4mm in diameter, and is 1.3mm thick at the edge. The closest I can get on CousinsUK is 36.5mm in diameter, 3.1mm thick dome, and 1.5mm thick at the edge. I think the replacement crystal would look OK, but the problem is finding a suitable glass gasket. The case diameter for the glass gasket is 36.9mm and the closest glass gasket I can find on CousinsUK is either 36.8x36.0mm or 37.0x36.2mm. I guess one of those glass gaskets could work but as you can see there's no way the 36.5mm domed crystal would fit the inner diameters of those glass gaskets. I guess I will have to give up on a domed crystal, no? So, the backup plan is to use a (1.5mm) thick flat mineral crystal as the diameters come in increments of 0.1mm. But, what glass gasket would be the better option? The one with an outer diameter of 36.8 (0.1mm too small) or the one with an outer diameter of 37.0mm (0.1mm too large). Again the case diameter for the glass gasket is 36.9mm. I believe I read or heard that the crystal diameter should be 0.1mm wider than the inner diameter of the glass gasket. Is that correct? I'm sorry for all the numbers. I've tried to make it as clear as I could. So, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. BTW, measuring and sourcing crystals and gaskets is extremely time-consuming! 😓
    • Lots to choose from... Just sayin'.
