Lamb Shank and shoulder stew Mis en place and prep work done. I need to broil the skins from the tomatoes so I can blend them. Bung em into the oven Had to brown the meat before throwing in the veg. Getting the shoulder ready to toss in I noticed at the last second that little piece of black plastic they put on the tray is still attached. I get the shoulder out but the damage is done. A million pieces of burning black plastic. Wash the meat (ugh), and drain oil so I can scrub pot. Okay now I can restart and finish browning the meat. I get to the shoulder again, it's in and browning and while I'm doing that I notice out of the corner of my eye the plate and paper towels I had set up to hold the meat is now on fire. How it started I don't know but I have to deal with it. While I'm dealing with the fire and cleaning the mess up I didn't adjust the temperature on the burner so now the lamb fat has rendering and smoking. All my fire alarms give me the warning beeps, not going off but strangely enough a woman's voice 'Smoke detected in hallway. Alarms will sound and it will be loud' WTF I had never head an alarm like that, so I run through the house to open up the windows that aren't covered in the plastic stuff meant to prevent drafts. Remember those tomatoes? they are still in the oven. So I get to throwing in the garlic and onion, luckily the oil wasn't too burnt and hasn't left an overly charred taste. But why is it smokey still? The tomatoes are black and I quickly reach for the tea towel but don't sufficiently cover the index and thumb on my right hand and I burn them just enough to feel it. This was about five minutes of adventure. At least now the bastard is in the oven and stewing.

@Bluebird Hewitt’s better other half.

Vitamin B12 turns homocysteine into methionine in your body. Didn't realise I had to spell that out for you and didn't take you as one to run from a healthy argument. Since so you are bent up on only me proving data, below are research articles from the National Center for Biotechnology Information undergoing studies and research where it was determined there was no evidence of protein/amino acid deficiency among vegan and vegetarian diets. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3662288/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6893534/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8069426/ Here's research from Stanford University comparing Plant and Animal protein and determines that vegan diets provide more than sufficient protein/amino acid needs for daily intake, as well as providing enough for the elderly. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212267218313972 https://sci-hub.tw/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31690027 More research showing the metabolic benefits of plant based diets. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/01/210121132300.htm https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10687887/ Explain to me the reasoning behind this claim. How are humans "designed" to eat meat, when humans lack the very components to break down low-density lipoproteins? What kind of inductive reasoning is that? Animals such as Carnivores/Omnivores are able to break down lipids because their bodies are structured to. If humans were "designed" to consume meat, as you say, why does it directly result to cardiovascular disease? If an organism is designed to do something, there wouldn't be any repercussions because what they are doing is natural. We aren't fucking designed to smoke cigarettes' are we? If you want more information as to why the human body isn't naturally designed to eat meat, here are references below.

Reading all of the books I am looking forward to another series and I hope Child follows after all the books as the next one then should be Die Trying (1998) as you probably know.

Ladder is the key - 9GAG

Indeed, that one. Near perfection.

The Villeneuve one from 2016, right? Easily one of my favourite sci-fi movies.

@MUFC is the teacher. Arrival - 9.5/10 Amazing film.

Aye, my son just told me too and I am going to watch it tonight once our grandson hits the pillow as he is here for the night, that guy shits all over Cruise as Reacher, the actor Alan Ritchson is 6ft 2inc AND built like a brick shithouse.
