RE: What did you do today?

Now that really did make me laugh.

On a more serious note I was on drugs after major surgery to replace my hip,but over here they don't prescribe opiates unless absolutely necessary.I was on oromorph for a while but personally preferred to manage my own pain as I hate taking drugs.

The problem is that in this day and age you can now get so many drugs on line .

Sorry for the hijack

As for my day ,up at the crack of dawn,walked the dog,changed bedlinen and laundered.

Made 7 jars of tomato and onion chutney.

Baked a cake.

Took the rest of the day off.wine

This is an important issue.

How can IHow to boil an egg

The answer to this is carefully. Even the simplest of cooking demands a degree of care and attention. But in the end all it involves is first knowing the right way to proceed and then happily being able to boil perfect eggs for the rest of your life without even having to think about it. What we need to do first of all, though, is memorise a few very important rules.

1. Don't ever boil eggs that have come straight from the refrigerator, because very cold eggs plunged straight into hot water are likely to crack.
2. Always use a kitchen timer. Trying to guess the timing or even remembering to look at your watch can be hazardous.
3. Remember the air pocket? During the boiling, pressure can build up and cause cracking. A simple way to deal with this is to make a pinprick in the rounded end of the shell, as left, which will allow the steam to esape.
4. Always use a small saucepan. Eggs with too much space to career around in and crash into one another while they cook are, again, likely to crack.
5. Never have the water fast-boiling: a gentle simmer is all they need.
6. Never overboil eggs (you won't if you have a timer). This is the cardinal sin because the yolks will turn black and the texture will be like rubber.
7. If the eggs are very fresh (less than four days old), allow an extra 30 seconds on each timing.




Soft-boiled eggs - method 1
Obviously every single one of us has a personal preference as to precisely how we like our eggs cooked. Over the years I have found a method that is both simple and reliable, and the various timings set out here seem to accommodate all tastes. First of all have a small saucepan filled with enough simmering water to cover the eggs by about 1/2 inch (1cm). Then quickly but gently lower the eggs into the water, one at a time, using a tablespoon. Now switch the timer on and give the eggs exactly 1 minute's simmering time. Then remove the pan from the heat, put a lid on it and set the timer again, giving the following timings:
6 minutes will produce a soft, fairly liquid yolk and a white that is just set but still quite wobbly.
7 minutes will produce a firmer, more creamy yolk with a white that is completely set.


Soft-boiled eggs - method 2
I have found this alternative method also works extremely well. This time you place the eggs in the saucepan, cover them with cold water by about 1/2 inch (1cm), place them on a high heat and, as soon as they reach boiling point, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and give the following timings:
3 minutes if you like a really soft-boiled egg
4 minutes for a white that is just set and a yolk that is creamy.
5 minutes for a white and yolk perfectly set, with only a little bit of squidgy in the centre.


Hard-boiled eggs
Some people hate soft-boiled eggs and like to eat them straight from the shell, hard-boiled. All well and good, but if you want to use hard-boiled eggs in a recipe and have to peel them, this can be extremely tricky if the eggs are too fresh. The number one rule, therefore, is to use eggs that are at least five days old from their packing date. The method is as follows: place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1/2 inch (1cm). Bring the water up to simmering point, put a timer on for 6 minutes if you like a bit of squidgy in the centre, 7 minutes if you like them cooked through. Then, the most important part is to cool them rapidly under cold running water. Let the cold tap run over them for about 1 minute, then leave them in cold water till they're cool enough to handle - about 2 minutes. Once you've mastered the art of boiling eggs you can serve them in a variety of ways, and one of my favourites is in a curry.


Hope this helps with your dilemma or were you eggsagerating.

RE: Government?

Hi again Rohaan,

Your lowest rate of $1086 equates to about £680 here in the UK,but as you saw that is the basic one can receive.I get more than that because I opted out and went with SERPS but that was a few years ago and things have changed re Pensions.

Yes there is support for pensioners and also for others who have no funding.
As a pensioner we get free travel on the bus, winter fuel allowance, free hospital treatment for everyone not just pensioners,free prescriptions for drugs over 60 years of age,help with dental and glasses etc. Also you can have a top up on your pension providing your savings are not above £16000 for Pension credit and £10000 for Pension Savings,so basically the help is there should you choose to apply.

Personally I don't find food that expensive though others may disagree.In comparison to when I lived in Spain I find it cheaper here.
There is a price war going on at the moment between the top supermarkets which is helping to keep prices down.

Many complain about the standards of care towards pensioners,but lets be fair we are provided for incomparison to many other countries.handshake

RE: woohoos coffee shop

Well you get 10 out of 10 for tenacity Mickey.

Can't play tonight as I've got to go out. Just wish more folks would come out to play on these forums.

RE: Government?

Here you are rohaan, this is the average payment one gets on retirement.

We had at one time a programme called SERPS whereby you could pay some of your wage into a retirement fund,so ensuring a second pension which I have.

Due to our financial crisis retirement ages have been extended somewhat.

As you will see we also have back up payments to assist those on a small pension. In all I personally have no problem living on my Pension,but I do think that it's based on your life style and expenditure. If you spend every penny earned during a life's work instead of preparing for retirement,then you could end up struggling somewhat.It's all about forward thinking.I actually get more than the State Pension as they are all based on how long you paid in to the fund, and again if you opted out and paid into Serps.

It's basically the same old story,you cut your cloth according to how much material you have.hug

How much is The State Pension

The Basic State Retirement Pension for a single person is £95.25 a week for a single person and £152.30 for a couple in 2009/10. Whether you get this can depend on how many national insurance contribution years you have completed.

The basic pension is lower than the income support threshold, so if they have no other income, state pensioners can top up with income support. This comes in the form of a means-tested Pension Credit which brings the weekly amount up to £130 for a single person and £198.45 for a couple.

That's it.

Some will get additional sums such as Disability Living Allowance or other categories of state benefit which depend on individual circumstances. (Ask your local DSS benefits office).

Note: A large percentage of pensioners do not claim for all the benefits they could be eligible for.
