Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Did a bit more of the retaining wall this morning before heading down the bellarine. A bit more head scratching than anticipated. But so far it's bang on level. When that little spirit level bubble looks at you all lovingly from the centre there's an internal squeal of 'eee thank fuck I'm not re-doing that'.
Body is ruined after the last few days though and now I have to do some mowing :(
I appear to have burnt myself out on art but despite the block the desire is still there.
Iโm just so constantly exhausted and not feeling good or stressed out
New toy day! A shame it comes completely dead in the box so you can't even turn it on until it charges for ages. Probably the first product I've ever got which didn't have some charge in it.
Hello wise people of the information superhighway. I've been trying to get a nice spice collection going, here's what I have currently. Any suggestions on other things worth adding? I like experimenting with different spices on various thing.
Chili powder
Paprika ground
Cumin ground
Mixed herbs
Curry powder
Cayenne pepper ground
Star Anise
Oregano leaves
Bay leaves
Sesame seeds white
Cardamom ground
Mustard powder
Onion powder
OXO chicken stock cubes
Thyme leaves
All purpose seasoning
Salt
I'm going to buy some pepper and cinnamon today. I did have pepper, but naturally it was stolen and I forgot to buy any in my last shop
NB: I have zero clue wtf star anise is, so if anybody knows what I'm meant to do with it, it'd be much appreciated.
Garlic powder
Dill
Sechuan peppercorn (mouth numbing and spicy)
MSG - it's not bad for you, but will elevate your dishes
Rosemary, oregano, sage and thyme are good for meats and stews
That's a serious list there. I'd get some oxo beef cubes.
Others you might consider but not necessary: cinnamon sticks, tarragon, chives, smoked paprika, garam masala, basil, Italian mix, parsley, garlic powder.
If you can source Australian pepper berry I highly recommend it
the irony of NASA having issues with a starliner, a Boeing vehicle is just delicious! They dont work great IN the atmosphere I'm not sure why we thought they'd do better in orbit.
I must really overestimate people's intelligence. There a YT sub dedicated to these docs fishing hearing aid batteries and such out of people's ears.
All I have to do is open Binge to get a reminder to never overestimate people
A new gas meter was installed at my house and the readings are wild. My gas has been switched on with the new meter for just over 24 hours and if this reading started at 0, I've used over 2000m3 of gas in that time apparently. My previous reading for 28 days, I used 51m3. Something is very wrong here.
Class finished early and I learned that kahoots gives me competition anxiety ๐ love it though.
Lol, heard some high idiot in the alley spewing nonsense drivel. Apparently he verbally attacked some random woman down there, and my neighbour saw and called the police.
Now I can hear him arguing with the officers ๐
Meth is wild these days
If it's the alleyway incident I'm aware of you now have the full Emergency Services trifecta. If so it could be a good opportunity to get together with your neighbour for a flashing light disco, it's not every day you get free coloured strobe lights.
I have a friend who keeps repeating herself over and over again and dwelling on something that hurt her in the past. I want to be there for her, and I don't want to be dismissive, but I've heard the same thing so many times.
How can I gently remind her to live in the present?.
