Nice. I found a couple of forgotten Aldi gratin in the freezer. 😊

My kitchen smells like earth and hippies. This soup is so nutritious it's veering into self-righteous territory. I slapped some crispy chilli oil on top to put it in its place.

Chur cuz

Fringe whinge is real. There's nothing to do at this stage but tough it out, you can do it!

Been there. No fun. I haaate having hair falling in my face or into my ears or bunching up at the back of my neck. Also have wavy hair that's a pain to control. I found in Kmart a circular hair control device - its a circle of zigzag plastic an inch or so wide and a bit stretchy, big enough to go around one's whole head. I think its intended to hold back one's hair with an Alice band over the top of it. Put it on around the neck, then slide it up and it holds hair back from the forehead and up off the neck. Front of hair is held sleek and smooth, then the rest of one's hair runs riot behind it. Fairly comfy to wear, and you can put a bike helmet or hat over it if need be. Game changer for growing out hair past the annoying stage. And you can cover it with a ribbon or similar if you don't like the look of it.

the priceline version

I've just made peace with the fact that my fringe is permanent now. If I couldn't deal with growing it out in lockdown, I'm stuck with it.

Same with Poker Face, S02 is 12 EPs.

Have fun with the hobbits!!!!

Have fun!

Bon Voyage!

Eeeek, I'm so excited for you!! Safe travels!

Take care :)

Safe travels! Weather not looking good here for next few days so jelly you're going to NZ!

✈️

Edit: sees it’s NZ

✈️🧝‍♂️

Have a nice relaxing time 🙏🧊😬

Have a safe trip!!!!

Accidentally? We do that for shits and giggles!

You can do it! Not long to go now!

Fuck. Did you stare at it until you realised you can't put Humpty back together again?

Noooooo!

Boo

I'm now curious how the whole cat thing went down. Did you kidnap a random cat and now don't know who it belongs to? Did you have a delusional moment where you thought you found a cat but it turned out to be a pair of balled up socks in reality?

She’s so lost without you..

There will not be time to celebrate. Just sayin.

Have been saving a very upmarket choc bunny from Easter to eat tonight when all the shenanigans of EOFY are over (FINALLY!!!). May indulge in a few champers too.

Then all the stuff that our clients have been saving up 'for the new FY' will hit on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Pray for me.

@Forcemajeure123 @YarraByte I feel like I have noticed much less EOFY sales and offers than usual...

I am celebrating after finally sorting out my budget/finances for the end of year yesterday. I used the "I'm in the middle of moving" excuse to push things off for far too long.

Happy EOFYS. May you nab a good bargain today.

Not guilty would mean she'll be in the media for years to come.

Hoping for guilty in that case.

I think she’s guilty, but she’ll get away with it because reasonable doubt.

Not guilty. I do think she did it but the evidence / case against her isn’t strong enough.

I'm predicting a hung jury.

Hung jury. All 12 jurors have to agree and come to a unanimous verdict for not guilty or for guilty. So I think it likely that there'll be a hung jury and a re-trial at some later date. Which will be even more of a shit show.

Such a pity the Scottish law verdict of 'not proven' is not available here in Victoria. Which basically means We know you done it but there's no evidence.

I do think the r/deathcapdinner mob (and I chose that word deliberately) need to be reminded of the basic human right of being innocent until proven guilty.

abc article on the state of play rn

Hoping for guilty, realistically think there's a good chance of not guilty. I haven't followed it in detail but it just seems like there's enough room for doubt...

Either way, Erin Patterson is never going to live a normal life ever again after this

I too think she's guilty, or a little bit guilty. She'll get off because of something something imo.

Guilty I think.

Worcestershire sauce would be my go to rather than chilli. Complex, tangy and not heavy on the tongue. But then I am going through a love affair with worcestershire sauce rn so don't mind me.

I'd call that hangover food. Go with garlic sauce next time or hummus or tahini.

Jeez I really need to up my breakfast game.

A good sprinkle of zaatar and dollop of sour cream or yoghurt. Some cherry tomatoes would give a bit of sweetness.

At bush doofs we used to call using a poo filled port-a-loo "Mr Whippy" due to the stack.

We saw that, definitely 5/5 hobbits. How about the people taking Imodium so they didn’t poo…for days?! It’s put me off ever going on a cruise, though

Indeed, he's a really happy man. And now it's in my head too.

wtf,I've been singing that song all week but with new lyrics

Bill and Ted, Bill and Ted, Bill and Ted and their friend Pat

because Bill and Ted really want to be tradie cats, they can go in the tradie van and go on adventures and they can help with all the jobs

Lots of youtube stuff - I recommend Ozgeology for a local slant on this stuff. Melbourne based too. At least until he 'discovered' a river of gold underneath Melbourne. But seriously, this channel fits with everything I've learned so far about this town and continent.

All this stuff used to be called geography - but they don't teach that anymore as it was considered boring and irrelevant back in the 1990s. I have NEVER agreed with that verdict. Where we are on this planet and how everything works is something I been fascinated by since early youf. It's basic to understanding where we are and what is likely to happen in the future.

Nature is amazing. Never too late to learn, it’s fun discovering new knowledge!

Well my knowledge of it is limited to highs and lows and how stupid it’s been one week from another.

Nothing really in-depth though tonight’s low is 3-4 degrees if that’s of any significance.

Sorry not sorry. I am celebrating surviving this financial year (and our team coming out in good shape) and taking a break from visiting fam with a cheeky dinner for one at a little seafood joint.Crispy skinned Barra in the way...OUTSIDE... listening to the ocean. Oh tropics you can go get stuffed in February but right now you are pretty special.

Leek, bacon, barley and lentil soup, yum! And there’ll be leftovers which is a bonus

Don't have much time for making dinner tonight - I have those fresh chicken kievs from Aldi so going to air fry that with a side of veggies (some broccolini that needs using up) and maybe some chips too.

Korean Chicken Sandos, mmm!

Stir fry duck with noodles.

Thai red curry chicken and veg that I made yesterday. I use the Ayam curry pastes, they are pretty good for a quick meal with good flavour hit.

The wholesome and melodious root veg and bean soup that I cooked the beans for yesterday. Just got home; it's time to chop up the veg, saute the onions and bung everything else in for an hour or something until it all comes together. Lunch sorted for the next 4 days easily.

Pizza sounds tempting, but I shan't cave in until I get my tax return or get paid, whichever happens first.

I dunno 😭

I have an Aldi lasagna that needs to be dealt with over tonight and tomorrow.

Local Indian restaurant. I ordered a lemon soda. Surprise ingredient of asafetida! mmm, as young mr seagoon observed , fart lemon drink

but all the rest was delicious, especially the garlic naan 💨

Nothing. I had a curry for lunch and then work bought us pizzas so I had a couple slices. Now I don't need food!

No I haven't but the chances of it actually being spicy is like 0%

If on the odd chance you do get a bit of spice and you don't like just add a bit of milk to the end result.

I’d test drive it for you if I could! (I really miss mild Indian food)

But Aldi products get a lot of informal reviews so I recommend having a google around. I found some but not sure about etiquette of linking FB or the other place.

If you’re not a spice fan and unsure whether you’ll like it it might be better to make your own version to avoid ruining anything you put it on. Tinned tomatoes and spice packets are cheap. Or buy it and first try a smear on toast to avoid throwing out a meal.

Otherwise buy a tub of Greek yogurt to mix in or blend with some cheap fruit for a lassi. Yogurt and milk in general have a cooling effect because the fat insulates your mouth from the spicy oils, and Greek yogurt tends to be creamier and fattier.

If you’re worried about it not being spicy enough… I don’t know, never had that problem but you can add heat.

Ages ago I think and I don't remember it being spicy?

2% spices is quite a lot - might actually have a punch. Haven't ever tried it though. If looking for a very mild sauce, try the Chicken Tonight range or similar with added spice (by you). That is, fry up protein, add spices to taste or not, then add sauce from bottle and simmer as per instructions. If doing something like this, I use garam masala rather than chilli and that works very well. Plenty of taste but you still have tastebuds after eating it.

A fancy cocktail served in a coconut and five hash browns please.

Fruit salad, yoghurt and a cup of green jasmine tea please

Sparkling coconut water and four hash browns please

I would try something like this, on sale at Myer for $50. Reputable hair care brand, salon motor.
