Decanting thread

She’s the strongest advocate for me getting the bloody thing.

Probably because she knows if I don’t buy it I won’t shut up about it until somebody else does.

that is decanting in my book.

I buy flour in that homepride tub thing.

We still keep them in the bag they were bought in, so it’s not really decanting.

This is an excellent thread.

Let’s get etymological.

If “decanting” involves “putting things into other containers”, what is “canting”?

It’s singing, isn’t it?

The kids Weetabix
Quite a few for pasta

I think it looks neater and it keeps things like Weetabix fresher. We started doing it when we first moved in and there were mice.

Sesame seeds.

Tea bags into a tin.

Pasta, flour and sugar go in jars.

Pepper and salt gets decanted into their respective grinders as required.

Everyone has one of these at home, obviously.

Kilner is a fucking brand (a very tory one), the concept of the jar is obviously not tory in itself.

i just used it as a synonym for those ones you get with the rubber seal lids

obvs mine are just any old cheap ones from Wilkos or wherever

Yeah nothing tory about that, I’m talking the £15 ones that people go and buy from John Lewis (that are exactly the same except for tories)
