One thing I have started doing is, where I feel I must use kitchen towels, I use the half sheet size one. Because very often half is enough. Generally though, two rolls of kitchen paper last me a couple of months, which I don’t feel bad about (and actually only go that fast because my boyfriend’s daughter is going through a ‘towels are icky, can’t have my hands sticky for long enough to get them under the tap’ phase so if you don’t watch her she’ll use a piece of kitchen towel every five minutes). I just pile up my used cloth towels and send them through a hot wash every time I’m doing one. If they do happen to get a couple of days mildew (they don’t) the hot wash will boil it out of them.

You say ‘chocolate that tastes good to you’. What I’m wondering, is does that include milk chocolate? Because my boyfriend doesn’t like dark chocolate and every truffle recipe I can find uses dark chocolate. Generally accompanied by comments from those who tried milk chocolate and the ganache never set. You don’t specify, so I was just wondering...

I am interested that you imply leaching an estrogen mimetic is a minor detail. It’s pretty serious in fact, unless feminisation is what you are actively seeking.
