Basin Gold Potato

In the world of potatoes these things are king or at very least the largest potatoes I have ever come across. They store well and, um, they taste like potatoes which is what you’d expect.

The only complaint I can make, other than cooking time, is that if you buy these you better really like potatoes. I mean, that is a lot of spud. I boil potatoes myself, shut up I’m Irish, and these take about an hour. Then I pick them up with tongs and make them explode into the frying pan where I have conveniently placed sausage and mushrooms. 

Thermos Stainless Steel King 16-Ounce Travel Tumbler, Midnight Blue

As you can see my Thermos King 16-ounce Travel Tumbler has seen some use that is because I use it every day and washing it is a pain. I believe the advertised ‘midnight blue’ is a load of cow piss, but it keeps my coffee hot for a full shift.

Given that I work the night watch at one of the smelliest places on earth coffee is a big thing and this is my third tumbler in nearly three years. Take it into your head that I use these things hard; they get bounced around in my car, and banged up at my work.

That said, it looks ugly but does its job just like me.
