Decided to whip one of these up this morning on a whim. Dehydrated strawberries and then ground them into a fine powder to add to the pistachio cheesecake mix in swirls etc.

Guess who spotted the powdered strawberries sitting on the side half an hour after the cake has been in the oven!

Guess who’s going to have to make another one and actually remember to put the strawberries in this time!!

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve left out of a bake by accident?

My dad (85yr) is rapidly becoming blind. He’s now unable to read, see the computer screen etc.
He has an iPhone (currently an XR) and an iPad but a windows pc.

I tweaked settings on the pc recently but didn’t realise how poor his vision actually was.

I’m thinking of swapping the pc for a iMac and updating the iPhone and iPad for him as I expect it’ll have better accessibility functionality built in. Does it?

He uses the phone for calls, messaging, checking emails (or did anyway) and it’s the same for the iPad with FaceTime calls and reading some books and newspapers on.

Are there simple things we can do that will make life easier for him or is it rearranging deckchairs on the titanic and does he just have to accept that using the tech is no longer an option?

I’m firmly in the Appleverse so am drawn to Apple products rather than Microsoft ones. I may therefore be biased in my belief that using an iMac with a Magic Mouse would be useful and simple.

I was there Tuesday night (again) and there were the same issues as in previous occasions (fumbling words etc, a couple of technical issues such as the camera feed freezing a couple of times and Cynthia’s mic dropping out but nothing major) but apparently in the afternoon they’d pulled the Wednesday matinee.

That’s with less that 24hrs notice for a major west end show with a star name that people will have booked to see specifically. Travel, hotels etc will all be booked and there’s no explanation or obvious reason why they cancelled another performance.

Is there a marathon on Wednesday that we’re not aware of or something?
