Punches For:
I probably say this every other year, but: Christmas sandwiches and food in supermarkets in the middle of October.
a) Christmas sandwiches are objectively shit.
b) IT'S THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING OCTOBER.- "Ooh, dry leftover mess sandwiches? Sure, I want those for two and half months!".Nairn
- in other news, I bought some Mince pies at least 2 weeks agoIanbolton
- We don’t have Christmas sandwiches here. Not that I know of. I have to find out what they are!monospaced
- The US version would be the sandwiches we make after Thanksgiving, with cranberry sauce, turkey, gravy and stuffing.monospaced
- Turkey, ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, yum!mort_
- What about a Greggs festive bake? I had one a day for the 24 days up to christmas and my gut was terribly unhappyIanbolton

Show some recent work
Worked on the Body Shop's worldwide Christmas campaign for this year.
Nothing terribly special, but it was a really fun shoot in a super-posh house somewhere in Surrey in the UK. Agency, crew and talent were absolutely lovely.
Shooting a Christmas spot in August is weird, though.
- didn't know the body shop was still aroundhans_glib
- They've changed hands a couple of times in the last few years, but yeah, they're still around.Continuity
- true .. it couldnt be more generic.neverscared
- “Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.”palimpsest
- I thought they were bankrupt, they're gone where I live.stewart
- well i´am sure they are going bankrupt with this clip now...neverscared
- @stewart they definitely did go through some difficulties. And a lot of stores closed, but a lot of them (as far as I understand) operate on a franchise modelContinuity
- ... outside the UK.Continuity
- Great work!
Nobody asked so I won’t tell you how i puked at a Christmas shoot on a hot August day in Los Angeles while fussing with a Christmas tree.shellie - Thanks shellie!
I think there's a real story you need to tell there. You can't just drop a bomb like that and not follow through.Continuity - I used to work on Marks&Spencer's Christmas branding. They had a dedicated Christmas dept. We started work in January. Weird name fact...Horp
- Why do we see her sweep all the products into the garbage at 0:14?monNom
- ... the woman who headed up M&S Christmas dept was called Jo Twelvetrees.Horp
- @monNom, she sweeps them into the Santa sack the kid gave them to her in, and takes them to the bathroom with her.Continuity
- @Horp In January?! Fucking hell.Continuity
- Is this a real family?bainbridge
- Yes.Continuity
- In August we were working on Christmas stuff and pitching for Easter stuff. Jesus would be confused...Longcopylover

- @pali, disagree. Hersey Wood is a real guy who claims to have fired a footlong at a cop IRL. Last vid I saw of him was filmed in a minimum security prison..garbage
- ..where he fired off a few for some podcasters. He also had a full-on gallery show where people gathered to watch him spit dogs on women.garbage

blog
I slept terribly last night, worried about my mom and work stuff...
Today, since I'm going to sleep in the hospital next to my mom, I told myself: nothing, in two minutes, I'll be done for...
But no, the woman my mom shares a room with: she talks to herself all the time... o.O!!
A long night awaits us :/

cooking recipes etc
As exciting as recipes is recipe management! What do all y'all use? Paper? App(s)??? Do tell; I started with Paprika, BUT the creater of the fantastic RSS app Reeder made "Mela" so went their BUT have fallen behind AND my wife collects recipes in a hand written binder... *sigh*

Paprika
- Dang @ 2nd image of Mela; my bad / amateur!!!ideaist
- Can we edit posts yet?!
Lolz.ideaist - One of the reasons I love cooking is a break from screens. A binder for me too, some written, some printed, most covered in splotches. Soz!MrT
- @MrT, I KEEP trying, BUT how about both?! We used to have a magnetic iPad case back in the day and we'd put it on the fridge with JUST the recipe on it...ideaist
- I like paprika. Downloads paywalled recipes, and with a family, the meal planning and shopping features are tits.robotinc
- We've got tons of books, recipes from around the world... But latelly, we've stopped experimenting and are moving towards a menu of about 15 dishes.OBBTKN
- Like MrT says, for me is a way to from being away from the screensOBBTKN
- binder is the way to gohans_glib
- When I find stuff to keep, I hit Print, save to PDF and drop it into a heirarchal folder in Drive (Main, Sides, etc.). Then when I'm ready, I grab the PDF and..elahon
- print it off. I make notes on the sheet (keeper, change this or that next time), then pop it into a folder I keep by the microwave.elahon
- Library, even keep magazine subscriptions, and then notebooks of spider charts and the flavor bible. Make your own recipes when you've nailed the techniques.canoe
- Mealie is great if you're willing to self hostakiersky
- Nice @akiersky; haven't heard of it!ideaist
- Poorly and hastily scrawled 'directions' on quarters of A4 paper, with a vague nod towards quantities, is my preferred methodology.Nairn
- Bonus points for losing, then repeating, then finding four copies of the same recipe (all not so subtly different to each oth) in a manila folder, months later.Nairn
- Even betterer - going off-piste on a recipe and coming out with something fantastic, like I did just the other week, whilst becidered, then forgetting it all.Nairn
- @nairn, the Keith Floyd method, love it. Wasted cooking is also fun, but then even less chance of an app being involved...MrT
