Flat White Goes Global

It's like a hideous Catch-22 situation. Flat Whites for me! But from Starbucks. WOE!

A French press/plunger (I can't tell if you actually know what that is or not, so forgive if I'm being dumb):

I get that, totally, I guess it's just that once someone shows you once, it's not that hard? But still.

Aha! Now when people talk about french presses I will know they mean plungers! My knowledge has increased today!

It so easy once you know what you're doing. I don't think I could tell amyone how to make macaroni cheese anymore, because it's so instinctive - you about that much butter, and add flour till it looks right...

Ahaha, I'm with you - I find making a roux super easy, but I do know it can really exasperate some, for example.

Sounds like someone who asked me how I made the satay chicken. (Family dinner.)

"Well.. I fried the chicken, added veges into it then made the peanut butter sauce and stirred it in into it was cooked and mostly soaked through into the veges/chicken."

"How do you know the peanut butter sauce is not to clunky and why those veges instead of the ones recommended".. Um it looked right? :)

That being said, I have never made macaroni cheese in my life.
