I am not sure that this is exactly what they meant.

IKEA baby bottle warming station with microwave and bottle warmers. Unfortunately, it is prominently labelled "Baby warming station".

Yeah I'm going to need some help here, also, sorry for existing, hope that isn't inconvenient.

Neon Genesis Evangelion test result in which I'm apparently 80% Shinji and 70% Rei, also I contain essentially no trace of Gendo, Asuka or Misato. I will be pushed repeatedly into the robot for ever.

Honestly rather pleased with how this sausage casserole turned out for dinner :) hope it tastes ok. I'll feed it to the children and see how it goes.

A freshly made vaguely German style casserole with a topping of thinly sliced potatoes, made in a le Creuset style heavy oval oven dish. The potato topping is visibly scattered with coarse ground black pepper and is a little browned and crunchy because I took the lid off for the last half an hour.

He's disabled quote posts so I took a pic of his stated justification for why is Like This. Apparently he is a Producer and we are "parasites" and "pure consumers" if we ask what he Produces. Also I think he might not have seen The Producers.

Well there's one about five minutes walk from me and now I want chips. I must be strong.

Screenshot of google maps search for "Bristol chip shop", the map is a constellation of local fish and chip places tagged with reviews praising their chips, hot crunchy chips, takeaway chips, fish and chips, do you need deep fried potato elements? They have you covered.

Obligatory:

The infamous comic panel in which Captain America throws his shield at a robot and the impact sound effect is "WANK".

No, no, clearly it's this.

Poster for the UK CQC (care quality commision) because this thread might be about CQC (close quarters combat) or about QCQ (possibly also CQC)

I try not to be parochial about languages but I think these Turkish brands might have some trouble breaking into the anglophone market.

Two racks of bottled spirits in a Turkish supermarket (Migros), the upper shelf is named Giz, the lower, Pus.

Making something which will be either a ratatouille or an aubergine curry depending on what I add next.

A Le Creuset casserole dish on the hob containing a medley of vegetables, mostly aubergine and courgette, which will in time become something like a ratatouille.

Dinner tonight will be my well-tested recipe, "some meat and some vegetables and some seasoning in a large pot". Details vary.

A beef and potato stew in a heavy casserole dish.

This Habitat Jive shelf was exactly, millimetrically, the right size to build into our understairs wardrobe, and I feel incredibly good about that, like I got the Nobel for flat pack furniture, this has absolutely made my day.
