#No Tin opener How to open a can | Retired? No one told me!

Welcome to Monday Musings we are mid-way through August already I can’t believe how fast time just flies…it really will soon be time to make the Christmas puddings and cake…Just saying!… Can openers I don’t buy many foodstuffs in cans but do have a few in my store cupboard and although most have a ring pull…very occasionally I need a tin opener and that’s where the problem starts they are crap here..truly however I did bring one back from the Uk that hopefully lasts for as long as I need a tin opener but I came across this little hack and thought if needs be… I’ll resort to this…

Every day I spend a little time when I first sign just checking my mail and the news… I was quite disturbed when I read an article online about a restaurant receiving hate mail and verbal insults..there is too much of this and it irks me…” freedom to choose” we have that right some don’t so we are lucky but we don’t have the right to dictate what a person or restaurant should do…

I openly admit I will never be vegan...because I believe in a balanced diet…that is my view and my choice…I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and cook vegetable dishes. that I enjoy…I have cut down on the amount of meat I eat for my health..my choice…my health…my husband and grandson whom I cook for daily are meat eaters…I don’t impose my views or refuse to cook meat-forward meals for them..ok it’s more cooking for me…they eat most veggie dishes I make…they are not keen on lentils but that’s their choice and their health…

If a restaurant decides they do not offer vegan foods or only one option on their menu that is their choice…our choice if vegan is to go where we have a choice…It is not to throw our toys out of the pram and abuse the restaurant staff…the same goes for the TV there is an off switch and we can also change channels…we have a choice BUT our personal choice or lifestyle should not be forced on others and they should not be subject to abuse because of their choices…

If I saw a vegan restaurant and decided to eat there would I kick off and be abusive because they don’t cater for my choices, of course, I wouldn’t…Why would I?… I would choose a restaurant that does…

I do not understand (or) want to understand the mindset of people who seem intent on causing discord and upset…Just because they can!

Differences are what make for an inclusive society and we should all be striving for that…live in harmony and enjoy learning about the differences in culture, food and cooking methods what a colourful and rewarding life that could be…Nuff said…

Let’s have a tune!
