Now there's a side dish!

I wonder if Team Bowl is the dominant force in the culture war because they're taking on established best practice, and the establishment feel they have nothing to worry about?

Whhhaaat! Slathered in butter though?
That's how we had them as teenagers at Kingston Spud-U-Like, as we couldn't afford 'fancy' toppings like baked beans. Nice big cubes of butter they put on them.

Whaaattt? I can see the logic of the bowl, but I'm Team Plate. Helpful for when you quarter and flatten down the tato.

...'“Honestly, my boy, don’t you think it’s rather unwise to continue this philanthropic enterprise, this Inquirer that’s costing you a million dollars a year?” Thatcher demands. “You’re right, Mr. Thatcher. I did lose a million dollars last year,” Kane replies.'...

People in the street WhatsApp group post when they have a parcel due and aren't home now. I'm choosing pick up locally eg shop whenever that's an option, but I also minimise my online shopping.

In good news no one's taken my or my neighbours' wonky veg deliveries which are left outside overnight! 😄
