When I was growing up mum used to always make this vegetable soup that was really nice. I don’t know where she learnt to make it and really never met any other mum that makes vegetable soup that tastes the same. I figure it’s probably got to do with the presence of baconny goodness (more on that in a moment) than anything else since most other people keep true to the namesake and ONLY put vegetables in theirs.
After dinner I was still feeling a bit peckish and since Laura went out for coffee with a friend tonight I thought I’ld hunt around in the pantry and graze for additional nomnoms. Suddenly I remembered a delicious 5 minute cake recipe I saw on Mactalk awhiles back and the game was on!
I talked a little about the Siemens S685IP phone yesterday but didnt really mention the new firmware release a couple of days back. This had a widely-anticipated feature, that almost every other phone in the world has had for years: A mute function!
Thought I would mention the Siemens Gigaset IP phones because quite a few people have asked me recently for a voip-centric alternative to having a desk phone or some sort of analogue phone attached to an ATA. Particularly in the home environment, people want to have the flexibility that a DECT cordless phone provides; but rather than investing money in obsolete technology, they’d like to buy a cordless phone that has the smarts built-in to offer the cost savings and other benefits that SIP offers.
