There is spreadable butter on here, some has already melted at room temp so it's not that visible. But it's a tricky balancing act with the wee man. Too much butter is a negative, but he needs to be able to see it also. I'm hoping he mellows as he grows older, but I suspect that's a vain hope! I shall try and perfect my technique. I've almost always been a toast and martite person, so I think this is a just a life skill I have never learned properly.

For now I shall ignore the blasphemy, but I will say I must have been unlucky the only time I've tried this. Because the own brand yeast extract I tried was much thicker, and much less salty. Disappointing all round.

Either you don't have kids OR you don't have a child like ours. A bread sandwich was requested, and only the foolhardy would serve a toasted sandwich!

Gotcha. Microwave jar. I have ADHD so nothing... absolutely nothing can go wrong with this approach.

I've had the premixed marmite and peanut butter before. I'm not a fan of peanut butter normally, but actually... Quite good!

Like microwave the jar or heat up a small portion?

Tip from a local. The weather is nearly always better than the forecast in Edinburgh. But the other thing no-one tells the foreigners is that August is the wettest month.

Update. Home now. Bloody traffic around those roundabouts at Perth. It's always a nightmare.

Stopped off at a wee pebble beach on the south east side of Loch Ness on the way home. Much quieter and less touristy than the other side. Great views, and a top espresso from a wee van. A great way to round off a week on the Highlands. But man, I need to get the AC fixed in the car. Sunny most of the way back. All sweaty.

I had that Thompson Twins flexi disc from C&VG and could never get it to load.

Driving back home to Edinburgh today after a week in the Highlands. Not sure I'm ready for the busyness. Looking forward to my own bed though.

I use a Kingrinder K4 which, when I bought it 4-6 months ago was the cheapest espresso capable hand grinder I could find. It only takes about a minute to grind 18g for a shot and I normally make 2-4 shots a day. They have cheaper grinders, such as the K0 but I'm not sure if they'd be consistent enough or have a sufficient granularity of adjustment to dial in an espresso.
