Morrisons Three Fish Roast

By -
At Christmas, we purchased a couple of Three Fish Roasts from Morrsions as an alternative to the usual turkey, which we also cooked.  We really liked the sound of the salmon, cod and smoked haddock combined into one roast. We cooked them as directed - 30 minutes at 180 degrees - and were delighted as they came out of the oven and the aroma wafted through the kitchen.  We left the turkey to rest and then carved it, so started to try to carve the three fish roast.  Sadly, it disintegrated at the slightest touch, so it became something of a plate of loose, random chunks of fish.  Not many people went for it! When we tasted it, though, it was very pleasant indeed. So, how to solve the problem of the collapsing roast? It was simple, in the end.  We had some puff pastry in the freezer.  We purchased another three fish roast and simply rolled the fish in the pastry, piercing a couple of holes for any steam to escape.  In the oven for 40 minutes at 180 degrees and it came out looking g

How to Stop the Annoying Nag Message in Outlook Asking to Take Outlook Anywhere

 I had an annoying message in Outlook 365 which appeared every day saying "Take Outlook Anywhere.  Stay connected to what matters.  Get Started (or Get it Now)"  There appears to be no way of stopping this appearing through the user interface, although you can just close it.  The reminder seems to appear every day  Even after a bit of searching online, I couldn't really see any obvious, clear solutions.  I even found some post suggesting that you need to complete on online form to opt out.  As far as I could tell this was just a data-harvesting scam.  This is what I pieced together to get rid of it. Open Regedit (Start --> Run --> Regedit) You then need to navigate to this node Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\TargetedMessagingService\MessageData\ Right-Click MessageData and choose "Find" Type 425141231 (I got this value by clicking get started and taking it from the URL) You should find a node ending in BizBar with sub node

Amazfit / Zepp App Needs to be Running for Alexa Shortcut to Work

By His Royal Dryness, The Duke of Cork -

Got a new Amazfit GTS 2 mini.  Works fantastically well, and I think it's terrific value.  The battery life in particular I think is great. One issue I've faced, but can't find a solution to is that the Alexa link doesn't work.  I get the message "Phone not connected.  Cannot use Alexa." The problem appears to boil down to the fact that the Zepp app is not running in the background (I'm running Android, by the way).  If I leave the Zepp app alone, then Alexa works. Not sure if I've done something to prevent the app from working in the background or if the developers haven't done what's needed for the app to do its stuff, but maybe this will help someone...or maybe someone will help me!
