00:05:43 <Ysjoelfir> Mornings mr. Pony
00:06:26 <Kuschelpony> good evening from german timezone
00:06:44 <Ysjoelfir> 14:06 isn't realy evening, is it?
00:06:53 <Ysjoelfir> I would call it preaftermornings, maybe
00:07:05 <Kuschelpony> in my personal timezone 14:07 is already early evening
00:07:46 <Ysjoelfir> Meh. Evening starts (for me :P ) at 20:00. Also... its always Moin.
00:10:38 <Kuschelpony> seems you are a late bird type
00:10:48 <Kuschelpony> im the one who is awake at 4 in the morning
00:11:48 <electrohead> morning
00:11:56 <Ysjoelfir> well.. I am versatile if you want to call it like that. When I don't need to work I tend to stay late and wake up late, if I am working I tend to go to bed rather early and get up early as well
00:12:00 <Ysjoelfir> mornings mr. head
00:17:12 <Kuschelpony> lets ay my sleep rhytm is just messed up but tending to be very early up and very early tired
00:17:34 <Ysjoelfir> hehe^^

00:40:58 <Ysjoelfir> Kuschelpony, I went shopping yesterday with the GP5 mask. It worked out great. I especially enjoyed the irritated look of the cashier in the DM. stared at me the whole time, but when I was at the counter she avoided looking at me all the time xD
00:41:11 <Kuschelpony> hihi
00:41:36 <Kuschelpony> well if i would have shops to choose outside of my village or local town i would do the same
00:41:46 <Kuschelpony> well more in the equine version :)
00:41:59 <Ysjoelfir> I can immagine^^
01:01:19 * steve30 has lost one of his MiniDV tapes
01:05:02 <steve30> Found it :)
01:11:20 * Ysjoelfir exchanges it silently with a Hi8 tape
01:11:39 * Ampera smacks both Ysjoelfir and steve30 with a digibeta cassette
01:13:50 * steve30 has a shortage of Hi8 decks
01:14:11 <Ampera> I would /love/ a D-VHS machine, especially a D-Theater compatible one
01:15:06 <steve30> I always fancied a DVHS machine
01:15:31 <Ampera> My legacy video and hi-fi setups are both very very sad
01:15:38 <Ampera> as neither of them actually exist
01:16:57 <steve30> Do you at least have a standard VHS machine?
01:17:13 <Ampera> Nope, but I could easily get one if I seriously desired
01:17:22 <Ampera> I simply have no good place to set it up
01:17:24 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) EOF from client
01:17:39 <Ampera> It's the sort of stuff I'd have to get into once I own a house
01:18:15 <steve30> I have VHS machines, but then I grew up with having VHS machines and tapes :)
01:18:35 <Ampera> so did I
01:18:53 <Ampera> we got rid of ours years ago, but I still recall having one
01:19:11 * steve30 recommends not getting rid of such equipment
01:19:25 <Ampera> I'm even old enough to remember when the local libraries used to loan VHS tapes
01:20:19 <coppice> I'm even old enough to remember when the local libraries still had some 78RPM records to loan
01:21:36 <Ampera> I know some libraries in the US used to loan 8 RPM records
01:21:49 <Ampera> primarily under a program by the federal government for the vision impaired
01:23:29 <coppice> When I was a teenager our local libraries loaned out a huge selection of LPs. That was how I got to learned to love music from the Elizabethan period to the present
01:23:49 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
01:24:47 <Ampera> Would now be considered the second Elizabethan period?
01:25:13 <Ampera> or would have the prior been considered the Tudor period
01:25:41 <coppice> No, the real Elizabethan period. Not this fake Kraut, pretending to be British royalty
01:29:02 <steve30> I wonder if youtube objects to the word 'semen'
01:29:19 <steve30> I was just pondering mentioning semen in a video description but it might be better if I didn't
01:29:25 <Ampera> cum on, why would they be upset about that?
01:29:45 <Ampera> if it's going to be monetized, probably better to leave it out
01:29:47 <Ampera> if not, who cares
01:32:21 <steve30> I'll leave out the semem.
01:32:25 <steve30> I wrote "Can Sertraline give you cancer? According to this leaflet... Yes.
01:32:26 <steve30> It can also give you haemorrhoids, ear infection and tongue disorder."
01:34:44 <coppice> steve30: It can also cause depression and anxiety. Look at the full possible effects lists for many drugs and causing the problem its supposed to help with is usually on the list
01:34:55 <steve30> yup
01:35:25 <coppice> steve30: have you ever seem any US TV ads for prescription drugs. They are the funniest things on TV
01:35:48 <steve30> I watch them on Youtube now and again. Abilify is one of my favourites.
01:47:19 <Ampera> My favorite part is where they tell you how you may end up a crippled dead husk of a person, right after saying how this will change your life and make you a human being again
01:50:58 <K> what is "tongue disorder" ?
01:56:21 * Ampera licks K's brain into soup
01:58:28 <K> NO! BAD LICKING!

02:40:04 <TheDude> I'm alright
02:40:10 <steve30> K, no idea, but apparently its a side effect of Sertraline. "Tongue Problem" is also one.

02:55:34 <Nothing\> lol oh man what a day for canadian politics
02:55:39 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\
02:55:41 <Nothing\> our governor general resigned
02:55:46 * Nothing\ hugs T3sl4 <3
02:55:50 <Nothing\> heya buddy, how are you?
02:56:48 <Nothing\> apparently there were a ton of allegations of her having a hostile and toxic workplace, not wanting to meet with many other politicians as was part of her job, and just botching it all together
02:56:57 <Nothing\> and one thing i didn't know, she was actually an astronaut
02:57:32 <Nothing\> flew on STS-127
02:57:33 Quit: pa1983 ([email protected]) Connection closed
02:57:57 <Nothing\> but she was more of a scientist than a politician, so she wasn't very well suited for the job
02:58:15 <Nothing\> but it was so severe, trudeau basically said either you resign, or i'm going to have the queen fire you.
02:58:33 <T3sl4> a shame
02:58:39 <Nothing\> Julie Payette was her name
02:58:57 <Nothing\> yeah, she hasn't officially resigned yet apparently and i have a feeling she may try to draw it out as much as she can
02:59:05 <Nothing\> maybe even until the queen has to become involved
02:59:41 <Nothing\> meanwhile dozens of other politicians are coming under fire for traveling to resorts during the holidays, despite telling everyone else to stay at home
03:00:13 <T3sl4> gotta love those do-as-we-say liberals
03:00:14 <Nothing\> and the premier of alberta is calling for trade sanctions on the US over Biden's cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline
03:00:26 <Nothing\> yeah i admit, i used to love the liberal party
03:00:54 <Nothing\> but in recent months they, including trudeau have shown their true colours and they're no different from your stereotypical politician
03:01:06 <Nothing\> so maybe next time i vote, i'll be voting for the tories
03:01:11 <Nothing\> or NDP
03:01:15 <Nothing\> probably NDP
03:01:40 <Nothing\> New Democratic Party
03:02:26 <Nothing\> they almost got in as the majority government years ago before their leader passed away, then the party just kinda went into the dark
03:02:43 <T3sl4> wasn't trudeau running on a promise of ranked-choice voting then said "nah"?
03:02:58 <Nothing\> I'm not entirely sure about that
03:03:07 <T3sl4> think i saw that, but idunno
03:03:07 <Nothing\> not even sure what ranked-choice means, tbh
03:03:16 <T3sl4> ranked choice, runoff, whatever
03:03:24 <Nothing\> ah
03:03:29 <T3sl4> basically it makes 3rd even 4th parties viable
03:03:40 <Nothing\> oh yeah, the 3rd party's always been viable
03:03:49 <Nothing\> NDP being the 3rd party
03:04:02 <T3sl4> i think things are usually a bit better in parliamentary systems to start, but it can always be better
03:04:20 <Nothing\> not sure who's next below them, i always hear about the Green Party, so I assume that's the 4th one
03:04:27 <T3sl4> hardly anyone is talking about that down here, but at least there's a few talking about eliminating the electoral college
03:04:53 <Nothing\> but yeah, in regards to the trade sanctions thing, trudeau basically told the guy it's a stupid idea
03:04:57 <T3sl4> a couple states do it for local or congressional elections
03:05:00 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
03:05:02 <Ampera> how are you doing
03:05:08 <Nothing\> especially on the first friggin day of Biden being president
03:05:11 <Nothing\> i'm doing well, thanks
03:05:15 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
03:05:21 <Nothing\> how are you, buddy
03:05:41 <Ampera> Good, I just had my yearly performance review at work
03:05:57 <Ampera> was given a really good score
03:05:58 <Nothing\> awesome, and i take it it went wellL
03:06:05 <Ampera> aye
03:06:23 <Nothing\> i'm glad to hear that. congrats, man.

03:58:29 <T3sl4> yikes
03:59:19 <K> hoo lee fukk
04:03:17 <DHess_US> My grandfather drove a logging truck in the Pacific Northwest. He had some stories which were much worse than that shows.
04:08:23 <K> welp, i slipeed on ice/snow and fell flat on me arse today
04:08:52 <K> it is dangerous out there in winters!
04:10:24 <K> and now it is time go home.
04:10:39 <Nothing\> have a good one, K
04:10:46 <Kuschelpony> here its alreadfy back to spring weather with +12�C today
04:10:53 <Kuschelpony> did a little 7km walkout
04:11:02 <Nothing\> yeah, we barely have a dusting of snow on the ground here near toronto
04:11:33 <Nothing\> i remember back in the 90's when we'd have snow banks at the end of the driveway from shoveling the snow big enough for my brother and i to dig tunnels through
04:12:15 <Nothing\> or snow drifts at the side of the road up north that were literally as large as houses, though that area was right off of lake huron so it got lake effect snow and was right on the junction of 2 snow belts
04:30:49 <Nothing\> either way, if this is what climate change means, I don't mind one bit. Hell, in 10 years we'll be growing oranges in Alaska.
04:31:12 <Nothing\> Not to mention the prosperity in trade the opening of the Northwest Passage is bringing
04:33:29 <Nothing\> the only problem is Canada is required to have coast guard stations near any shipping routes. So we'll have to set up a ton of Coast Guard rescue stations in the Arctic for it to be legit. And we'd be footing the bill for that. While other countries like the US try to claim the revenue from charging companies to use the passage is theirs'.
04:45:20 <Ysjoelfir> Holy smokes am I annoyed by that fucking potential new employer

05:13:40 <MrMobodies> Hello
05:14:05 <MrMobodies> just noticed something disappointing in the local village shop
05:14:30 <MrMobodies> went into an aisle and noticed flickering and very low white
05:15:05 <MrMobodies> looked up, I don't know what make it is, but is has be one of these cheap led bulbs, the fittings look the same.
05:15:58 <MrMobodies> when I looked at it it look vicious to me and I see an after image whereas if I look at the others I don't
05:16:47 <MrMobodies> before I moved my local Sainsbury's had them in these glass things in the ceiling but they didn't flicker much and wern't too vicious
05:27:57 <Ysjoelfir> thanks T3sl4

05:43:32 <arch> can i use a current trafo for sensing the current for CCM flyback, on the UC3843?
05:44:16 <arch> i dont have a 1W dissipating resistor. i'd have to parallel 4x 0805
05:44:46 <Kuschelpony> bad choice, the DC part gets lost and also you might saturate the core
05:45:07 <Kuschelpony> its not impossible, just loosing many benefits
05:45:24 <arch> darn, that's what the appnote here shows, but maybe it's for forward mode? page 4 https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slua143/slua143.pdf
05:45:34 <arch> sorry i mean page 5
05:45:35 <Kuschelpony> hmm, maybe i can find ideas for a diode clamp that de-magntizes the core
05:45:59 <arch> it demags using a resistor it seems
05:46:17 <arch> figure 11 page 5
05:46:20 <Kuschelpony> i check tomorrow (its already getting lete here)
05:47:10 <arch> dont worry about it, ill look around some more and see if it's possible to use current trafo for CCM flyback
05:47:55 <arch> or actually, i can run a test myself, using a function gen and totem pole driver
05:50:42 <T3sl4> arch: you can bias it up, which, you need to anyway for slope comp
05:50:53 <T3sl4> and yes, you can use a CT, has to be with a diode
05:50:54 <Kuschelpony> hmm, in DCM sure yes, in CCM your current wil leither run down until you are in DCM or up until your supply gets into current limitation
05:51:28 <T3sl4> https://www.seventransistorlabs.com/Images/Mag_Amp_PSU.png like this, but with actual slope comp which interestingly enough i didn't think of, that's how old this sch is
05:53:34 <arch> it's a peek into your noob days. good on you for keeping it. i keep embarassing schematics i made myself :D
06:06:25 <DHess_US> You could do that with a forward converter where the core is reset after every cycle. To do it with a flyback, DCM has to be used and provisions to reset the current transformer have to be made but that is easy.
06:24:32 <T3sl4> DHess_US: if you're doing it on the inductor; or if you do it on the switch and/or diode, it's fine over a certain range of duty cycle
06:49:58 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
06:58:49 <DHess_US> The designs I have seen provide a core reset of the current transformer with a pair of diodes to direct the magnetizing inductance into a higher voltage for reset. But it is not very common.
06:59:20 <DHess_US> I assume there is almost always a better way.
07:00:01 <DHess_US> New UPS showed up on UPS today. Wow it is big.
07:00:22 <DHess_US> Well, the boxes were big anyway.
07:01:31 <DHess_US> I'm always amazed that forward converters are economically competitive with push pull and half bridge converters.
07:01:44 <DHess_US> And now they even have those double transistor forward converters.

07:05:05 <rust_collector> mornings
07:15:01 <Ysjoelfir> mornings rusty
07:15:33 <rust_collector> hello mr sir
07:16:14 <rust_collector> it is very very slippery outside. pretty interesting.
07:16:24 <Ysjoelfir> over here its just wet
07:17:03 <rust_collector> I had a bit of trouble getting off the main road. it just did not want to turn.
07:17:14 <Ysjoelfir> XD very nice :P
07:17:42 <rust_collector> I look forward to readling the statistics tomorrow, lol
07:18:21 <rust_collector> ok, what is happening down there? I just got home, and got the shitty power thing powered up
07:19:13 <rust_collector> I used one of those led voltmeter module things, but that seems to be too crappy, even for this thing
07:19:21 <Ysjoelfir> I would think you guys up there would be proficient with icy streets?^^ Over here: Not much, but I decided to finally buy new wheel bearings for the volvo. I am pretty sure now that those are the things that are doing the not very ..."locationable" rattling noises. reason for that: yesterday when I drove mrs. spouse to work and I was on the highway it started to realy rattle on the front right, like driving with a flat tire.
07:19:54 <rust_collector> sounds right
07:20:35 <Ysjoelfir> that you guys should know slippers streets? or that getting the impression to drive with a brick tied to the front wheel points to a broke wheel bearing?
07:21:30 <rust_collector> well, if you take the wheel off, and put 2 good blobs of heavy grease, on the hub part of the brake disk
07:22:31 <rust_collector> then you stick a pair of fine thread m8 nuts in the grease. then put the wheel back on.
07:22:49 <rust_collector> if that does not make it worse, it is probably bearings
07:24:06 <rust_collector> and, you are probably right that you would think we are used to slippery roads, but I wonder some times... but yes, I think it is probably bearings
07:24:36 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^
07:25:33 <Ysjoelfir> I bought the brake.... erm... the stamped sheetmetal things that surround the brakes as well. I thought when I have the stuff apart I can also go the extra mile and replace those, as they are pretty crunchy
07:26:17 <rust_collector> yes, I guess they would be sort of not too expensive, and you probably "need" them down there
07:26:41 <rust_collector> I don't have them on my car
07:27:30 <Ysjoelfir> well.... 69€ each >_> 2€ more expensive than the bearings. and yes, you won't pass inspection without them or if they are to crunchy.
07:27:38 <rust_collector> paint them before you put them on.
07:27:45 <Ysjoelfir> I had exactly that in mind
07:27:54 <Ysjoelfir> I have some nice bright yellow paint left.
07:27:59 <rust_collector> heh
07:29:03 <rust_collector> some times I am thinking about powdercoating. but I... well, i would need a big oven, and... meh
07:34:35 <Ysjoelfir> I have a powdercoiating gun. bought that for quite some money years ago, NEVER used it.
07:38:05 <rust_collector> you can get fairly cheap kits now, but you still need to bake the paint. I dunno
07:39:17 <Ysjoelfir> I had an old kitchen oven in the lab for ages for exact that reason. but meh. I don't know why I never used it.
07:39:57 <rust_collector> maybe you did not want your things frog green
07:40:10 <Ysjoelfir> maybe. I prefer yellow.

08:04:19 <rust_collector> noooo
08:04:22 <rust_collector> not at all

08:09:40 <electrohead> pretty good, just at work right now, manning the shop and what not
08:09:51 <rust_collector> WOOHOO!
08:10:06 <electrohead> :p
08:11:45 <electrohead> I'm thinking of grabbing up some of the new r.pi RP2040 boards
08:11:55 <rust_collector> hmmm?
08:12:04 <rust_collector> 2040
08:13:11 <electrohead> https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-silicon-pico-now-on-sale/
08:19:42 <coppice> interesting. that's taking them into a new area
08:21:56 <electrohead> yeah for sure, I give it a week or two before I have a bunch of different boards on order
08:22:12 <rust_collector> that looks interesting
08:23:10 <coppice> Dual core is an interesting choice
08:23:38 <coppice> They say its their own chip, but I doubt that
08:33:16 <Lord_of_nothing> Hi
08:33:26 <Lord_of_nothing> does anyone here have access to hytera firmwares?
08:33:36 <Lord_of_nothing> and would share them with me?

08:36:25 <coppice> DHess_US: a lot of kids really don't know where milk comes from
08:40:38 <DHess_US> Chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
09:12:45 <rust_collector> reheated reheated wok could be better
09:18:08 <Ysjoelfir> than chocolate melk?
09:18:36 <rust_collector> it could be, yes
09:19:14 <rust_collector> mëlk
09:30:27 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, how is "PROJECT HANDLE" going?
09:30:51 <rust_collector> I was wondering how you would run the wires
09:32:20 <Ysjoelfir> I should receive the PCB prototypes tomorrow or monday. For the wires: I installed the heater inserts with the wires facing inside the handle bar, drilled a hole at the bottom of the handle and fed them through that.
09:33:37 <rust_collector> ok. that is what I thought. I don't really like that, but... I guess it should be fine
09:34:03 <Ysjoelfir> same, also its not 100% legal in germanistan do drill into the handle bar.
09:34:13 <Ysjoelfir> but I don't think there is another possibility
09:34:54 <rust_collector> not easy ones
09:36:49 <rust_collector> maybe it is ok, if you supply custom made oval silicon grommets
09:40:51 <Ysjoelfir> I will definitely provide grommets for that. I made the hole SLIGHTLY to small so I couldn't fit a regular one in there, so I ended up ripping off one of the thermocouple leads while trying to add a heatshrink to protect it >_> but thats ok, there was enough stickout remaining to reconnect it. now the prototype handle has like... 3 layers of heatshrink as protection, and since I will tie the cables down I think that will be ok
09:44:18 <Ysjoelfir> I thought about mounting methods as well. I think I will offer 4 mounting methods, at least for the prototypes, and see what works the best
09:44:57 <rust_collector> I would not be too worried about the wires, but on a cheap japanese bike, the handle could be thin enough to not like having a hole. but I guess it would be between 2 mounting clamps or something, so it will probably be ok
09:46:05 <rust_collector> one way is to clip a chain to it, that should be strong enough to hole your heaters
09:46:35 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^
09:46:59 <Ysjoelfir> if I would know how to make 3D drawings in a software I would make some. but I don't.
09:48:02 <rust_collector> I do remember the manual for my old old old autocad, which was 2d, was like 3-4 phone books.
09:49:08 <Ysjoelfir> in my old company our 3D guy used autocad.... inventor? that looked nice. but the price dosn't
09:49:31 <rust_collector> I would think the price was impressive
09:50:38 <Ysjoelfir> it was
09:50:44 <Ysjoelfir> it was roughly as much as I earned in half a year
09:50:57 <rust_collector> good deal
09:51:15 <Ysjoelfir> weeeeeell....
09:51:54 <rust_collector> I wonder how much someone had paid for the old one I had.
09:53:12 <rust_collector> meh, they probably had a company deal or something
09:53:29 <Ysjoelfir> hehe
09:54:43 <Ysjoelfir> I wonder if there is a free or cheap thing to do that for hobbyists or small businesses
09:54:56 <rust_collector> that was the boat control stuff company, before kongsberg bought them.
09:55:09 <rust_collector> autocad? I doubt it
09:55:16 <Ysjoelfir> they probably had then :D
09:55:31 <Ysjoelfir> no, not autocad. but something simmilar, way less elaborate, but for cheap
09:56:24 <rust_collector> weeelll. you have freecad, and librecad, they seems to be getting there. I do not remember which one was 3d, and which was not
09:56:46 <Ysjoelfir> I hate freecad :D
09:56:59 <rust_collector> good, that means it works
09:57:10 <Ysjoelfir> I tried that once and didn't even manage to make a square
09:57:22 <rust_collector> was that 3d or 2d?
09:57:31 <Ysjoelfir> 3d
09:57:43 <rust_collector> ok. then that is figured out
09:58:39 <rust_collector> a square. I bet it is similar to my old way, where you would type the shape you wanted, and click where you wanted it
09:59:07 <rust_collector> I think I used rec, for rectangle. not sure about the other shapes
09:59:30 <rust_collector> but, it has been a while. I only really remember arc
10:01:07 <Ysjoelfir> I tried... erm... what was that... some 3d cad tool where you basically "code" the thing you want to create. that one worked great, but its pretty hard to do more elaborate things. also you can't create 2D drawings with measurements from the 3D figures, which would be very helpful to do
10:01:30 <rust_collector> heh
10:03:02 <Ysjoelfir> OpenSCAD was it
10:03:11 <rust_collector> oh, ok
10:03:25 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.openscad.org
10:03:58 <rust_collector> so cylinder 20mmx50mm then stick a ball on top, cut in half
10:04:36 <Ysjoelfir> yes, pretty much like that
10:04:40 <rust_collector> that should be good for simple shapes, I guess
10:05:10 <rust_collector> not that I know why you would want to draw simple shapes
10:05:27 <rust_collector> they invented pencils a long time ago
10:06:00 <Ysjoelfir> true. :P but you want to be fancy and modern and take like 30 times the time than by just drawing it by hand, don't you?
10:06:38 <rust_collector> Ok, I did look at 3d printers again... so I wonder if there is something to that
10:06:58 <Ysjoelfir> it is. I will try a 3D printed part for one of the fixing methods I have in mind
10:07:10 <Ysjoelfir> its great for prototyping
10:08:01 <rust_collector> sure, if you have a somewhat weird shape. imo, if you need a square or cylinder... why print that?
10:08:51 <rust_collector> and if I remember correctly, you have a sort of normal shape, lol
10:08:52 <Ysjoelfir> because turning very soft rubber sounds rather difficult^^
10:09:10 <rust_collector> no, you plop it in nitrogen for a bit
10:09:18 <Ysjoelfir> I don't have that.
10:09:34 <rust_collector> well, that is your problem
10:09:39 <Ysjoelfir> :P
10:09:53 <rust_collector> freezer can work, it depends on your ruber, I guess
10:10:54 <rust_collector> but making a fridge on a lathe, that is pretty tricky, unless you have a very big lathe
10:11:56 <Ysjoelfir> The idea was to have basically two 5 to 10mm thick rubber disks, probably hollow or U-shaped. the inner one a tad bigger than the diameter of the handle bar and the outer one to size. add a washer and a screw to squish that rubber thing, which should expand and clamp the heater cartridge firmly.

10:18:56 <rust_collector> use a punch, boink out disks. i think you need 4-5-6, if you want to use plain flat ones. but the idea will work

I opened the forum after many days, and discovered I've been banned, and as per the message, the ban is not set to expire. I wonder what happened. Was my account (password) compromised?

18:06:01 <steve30> If you haven't done anything dodgy, I'll guess it was a mistake.
18:08:32 <vu2tve> I don't remember doing anything like that, and something like that did indeed happen, I'd like to know. I joined this forum recently and would like to participate in discussions pertaining to a few radio/electronics projects I have in mind.
18:39:48 <Halcyon> Sorry, I was making sausage rolls

19:12:23 <Halcyon> steve30: These sausage rolls turned out phenomenally well
19:12:36 <Halcyon> I used Pork and Fennel sausage mince, it worked well
19:12:43 * steve30 want
19:13:02 <Halcyon> Very cheap and easy to make, most of the flavour and spices comes from the sasauges you choose, I also added some dried chilli flakes
19:13:47 <Halcyon> That recipe made about 10-12 rolls, so there is heaps. All up, I think it cost AUD$30 and that included fancy sausages and brand-name pasty.
19:13:52 <Halcyon> *pastry
19:15:15 <Halcyon> Oh and I used Malden salt flakes
19:15:21 <Halcyon> Can't have just any old salt :P
