If, by slipper, you mean some sort of house shoe, maybe like a bunny shoe complete with ears, every one down here has owned a pair. Usually this type of slipper is used as a training device to get children to actually wear shoes for more than a minute or two.

If you mean some sort of shoe that is worn only inside the home in the morning before dressing or in the evening before bed, this must be a notion from folks who live in colder climates. Where I spend most of my time, you would be hard pressed to find a man who owns more than one pair of socks let alone slippers.

Not uncommon to see a man in a business suit by Armani or even Fioravanti wearing Norvegese or Berluti shoes.

Slippers down this way seems to mean a shoe like Mephisto slip on boat shoes, still with no socks.
Thongs (local term for flip flops) are popular here

If you mash buttons like i do - that can happen, but normally the delrin piece holds it straight. I found i do it more when i use button covers and so i no longer use them.

I have been told thousands of times that a gentle press is all it needs/hold it to your ear and when the atty hisses - that's all the pressure required. If it also leaks, then perhaps the nipple on the bottom of the 510 is not tight enough. Be really careful tightening those unless you have a rebuild kit to hand.

Good evening Reoville,
Non Reo related question but seeing as we seen to have so many chefs and gourmands (and possibly a few hunters or game lovers) on this thread I'm going to throw this out there.
I have a 1 1/2 lbs or so of fresh ground venison I want to make for dinner tonight. It was given to use by my husband's coworker who is a bow hunter, I believe it's from last Sunday. I am thinking of making a Shepard's Pie and using the ground venison instead of Bison which I usually use, but having never eaten it I'm not sure if this would be a good preparation. I want to make something that will really compliment the flavor of the venison. I figure someone on this thread must be a venison lover who can help me out. Thanks- Meagan

I would think it would make an awesome shepherds pie, it is a bit gamey so be ready. But, as stated, no fat = no grease floating in the pie IMHO!

Thanks Tami, I am big Bison fan which is also super lean. I was thinking they may be similar as far a cooking goes, but I don't know the gameyness factor of the Venison. I guess I'll cross my fingers and give it a go. I always have some leftover homemade turkey soup if I really fudge it up.

No fat also means you have to add some to cook it. If it were me making a cottage pie with it (Shepherd's pie uses lamb oddly enough) then i'd make sure you fry it very quickly to seal it and then add some stock.

I've had deer steaks in the past and they cook really fast. Cheese on top of the potatoes at the end and for pure greed and a certain crispiness a bag of chips/crisps crushed to smithereens and added on top.

Bucket cooking at its best.

do you celebrate Christmas in africa ?

We certainly do! South Africa is an ex British Colony and most of us have grown up with American TV... we even have started celebrating Halloween in the last few years! Here is a picture of our Christmas Tree!

Add some bacon grease or pork fat when frying ...... or you could make an awsome pot of chili with it..

Yes T, you are correct (of course), I should have called it Rudolph Pie. .I'm not a big lamb fan so I've failed to make a proper Shepard's Pie. I will probably cut it with a little ground beef or some grass fed butter for a little fat content.
