I am getting too involved in the corona virus threads so wanted to start something lighthearted!

Went to visit DSis recently. She bought a wine box. I have bought the odd one in the past and once the little tap stopped producing wine just threw it out. I did not realise that there is nearly a whole bottle of wine left in the bag at that point! I felt really stupid but now view it as “free” wine given I would have thrown it away!

What silly things didn’t you realise until someone pointed it out to you?

I've been doing the beef/veg oxo cube wrapped crush thing for actual decades, but it's only recently that it's started working for chicken oxo - previously too gooey. Presumably they're less fatty now.

Still occasionally get one that's too solid, I presume from a slightly different mix in the vat when it was created or possibly a hole in the foil letting moisture in.

Anyway, the 95% of the time it works saves on one of the dozens of hand wrinses I do every day while cooking!

Thanks banana.
