Random Stuff when I can be bothered

Opened a tin of tuna last night. Tuna as I'm sure we all know is fish and fish is well known for going off very quickly. So why are the tins labelled "best before 2010"? I am well aware of the benefits of canning, but what other things do you have to do to give a bit of tuna a lifespan measured in years? well, it tastes good, so there can't be to much of a problem with whatever they do to the poor fish so I'll just have to carry on enjoying it.

But in a good way. I may or may not have mentioned that I do home brewing (I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered to read previous blogs to find out), but yesterday I started another couple gallons of wine, blackcherry and apple. At the moment the fermentation is just getting going, another day or two and the demijohns will be bubbling away merrily. I recently also got a still, it has three uses listed on the instructions, 1) purifying water, 2) making essential oils and 3) producing spirits, of course I will be doing 1) and 2) and NEVER doing 3) . I meant to get the first batch going yesterday, but spent too long doing wine, so will have to do it tonight. Quite looking forward to it as I've done lots of beer and wine, but never anything stronger.
