That last sentence is the key. You got this.

Nothing will ever beat Red Symons April Fools Day prank about the spaghetti farms of Italy.
EDIT: sorry that wasn’t him - his prank was Drive To Work Day.

NEVER! Life is too short to peel mushrooms (quote from the Two Fat Ladies who collectively are my spirit animal). Only I think the quote refers to stuffing mushrooms which life is also too short for. The most a mushroom gets from me is a wipe with a damp paper towel, and not always that if they look clean.

This is the one I followed

But not followed exactly. The sauce was amazing - if doing it again I would reduce the salt to the absolute minimum as the soy sauce does enough salt. Also the vidjo had the water boiling very vigorously, I did it at a lower temp so not so violent. Took about 1/2 hour all up. Doing this again, I’d put no more than 1 cm depth of water - ample to cook the chook, and quicker to evaporate. But this is subject to further testing.

Sorry for the delay - just got home from work.

Sounds like lotsa opportunities to move around the org and gain skills - maybe leadership skills too. Sky is limit here.

I tried a YT short recipie for dins tonight. Mostly for shits & giggles, but it worked. Chicken ‘fried’ in water. I used drumsticks cos cheeep so no weeping if I had to toss it. It was quite nice. Will do this again, but with the recommended wings. Sauce was gorgeous in texture but I should have used a tad bit more chili and less mustard. Worth trying.

Winning!

You’re in the wrong pub, bozo

My favorite photo of tawny frogmouths.

Looks like we got us some Convos …

Zucchini and avocado cake please. With crushed croissant topping with roasted almonds. I neeeeed me some helf.

Impressive. I wonder what his selection criteria for inclusion are?

A doozy today

40/50 with lucky guesses. Feather duster? Who knew.

The three ladies that spin the thread of life, weave the thread etc. and the third one cuts it. Much like the three Fates of greek mythology. Seriously scary ladies.

Freya. The Norns. But I guess goddesses don’t exactly count as people. No matter how badly they behave. Have you read Sagaland by Richard Fidler? It’s a collab between him and Kari Gislason about the people behind norse myths/stories - can be a challenging read but revelatory.

The books are great. I never did watch the show, but everything I have been told leads me to be grateful for that fact.

You’ve convinced me. A voiture! (e-bike)

I have to start thinking about dinner - do I do finches & chimps or unfreeze something?

Are you an early morning beach person or a late evening beach person? I just love the beach in the early morning - everything is so fresh. Later on just isn’t the same.

Treat yo’self when done I reckon. That’s a full day’s work.

Bunnings trip accomplished. The snags at Fairfield were particularly good today - tender and juicy and full flavoured. Bunnings was, well, Bunnings. I have a feeling that that store is running down it’s stock - or maybe is waiting on delivery from China etc. Distinctly empty shelves. Does anyone know when it’s closing down in favor of the East Preston/Reservoir one?
