My wife has been asking for a dinner gong for a few years now, I forgot about this for a couple of years then remembered last Xmas so bought her the one pictured below. She was very happy when she opened it but we were both never very all that happy with the actual sound of it, calling the family in for dinner it was often either unheard or misheard, so this year I decided to up the gong levels.
The first gong, I bought this sound unheard on eBay last year, and despite it's size and art deco appeal it has been a disappointing gong for a whole 12 months.
The latest gong is probably twice the size of the other one and I spotted it in a second hand shop just before Xmas and loved it's resonating bonggggg, so was please to pick it up for £25. Dinner gong mission accomplished!

- "My wife has been asking for a dinner gong..." Define "dinner"... The only similar junk I knew of, was for more "pleasant" uses ;)OBBTKN

High grade supermarket coffee (Lavazza, Segafredo, Illy etc.) = 160 DKK (22 USD) per kilo.
Verdict: Tasty!
Local roasters' nerd grade coffee sold by guy with waxed mustache and 1800's style blacksmith leather apron = 680 DKK (96 USD) per kilo.
Verdict: 30% more tasty. The biggest pleasure is the smell from grinding it.
Do you happily pay the 325% increase?
- the 1kg Tesco 'italian inspired' espresso beans (half the price of Lavazza) I prefer to most of the artisan stuff we buy and Lavazza. the Tesco beans are vkingsteven
- similar (suspiciously so) to the Matthew Algie beans (big commercial roasters a lot of cafes use in the UK and Ireland)kingsteven
- NoOBBTKN
- I roast my own, ~16/kg USD.
It's 20% more tasty. You could say i have an unwaxed mustache and a cloth apronrobotinc - ^ Chequered red and white, with the words 'Kiss the cook' embroidered on it, I hope?Continuity

Food
Christmas dinner.
Roast beef, dry-brined with smoked salt instead of regular salt, left in the fridge uncovered for 24 hours and reverse-seared to a perfect medium-rare. With mash, green beans sautéd in butter with garlic, and sautéd shiitake mushrooms.
Plating needs work, but my stomach cares not right now. Fucking awesome.
Merry Christmas, you degenerates.
- What was the time on the cook? a reverse sear on that is minimum 5 hours... yes?PonyBoy
- It was only a 1 kg joint, and took me about 1.75 hours at 105°, so not bad at all. Pulled it out when the internal temperature got to just about 55°.Continuity
- Sorry, 2.25 hours. Nonetheless, not at all long, all things considered.Continuity
- I did a nice prime rib roast too. Studded it with garlic and thyme. I seared it at full blast for 25 min and then just let it slow cook for another hour or somonospaced
- Looks tasty. MC to you too!!OBBTKN
- This looks amazing, well done like usual continuity. This is extra torturous since I've given up meat for the past year (to lower my cholesterol)_niko
- Gravy needs more roast juices! thick afinteliboy
- My sister just cooked a bomb ass roast, best meal I had in a while!YakuZoku
- does it taste good with that much nutella?neverscared
- Haha. We do a horseradish sauce :)monospaced
- ^ hell yes!YakuZoku

The Christmas Thread!
Merry Christmas muh'fuckers. Don't let sour ass QBN'ers with anger issues (whoops, that's me) get you down.
Instead, have a good one, and listen to this extremely Christmassy song.
Mwah!
