I wish I could do this sometimes
Gibson has been reading too much recent news :(
Omg 😱 beautiful! I love when they do that 😍 a true loaf
Reminds me of Garfield. Exactly what he would do.
Whenever one of us is eating, little dog makes it a point to show us he’s a good boy by sitting inches from you with some very intense staring. He even does it if I’m putting lip balm on or hand cream.
Party two doors down and over the back fence. Two bouzoukis and a mandolin are having it out live and kicking, and the guests are cheering them on. Who needs recorded music???
I’m really enjoying it.same, but no music, just thumping bass makes the place shake
i hate it
Heated wheat bag and hot water bottle, check.
Coffee check.
Blanket check.
Footy check.
Now I’m not moving.
Good plan. I feel like shit which is how I’m justifying doing sfa and chilling on the couch.
I’m absolutely feeling like trash today too. Physically and mentally. Pretty sure whatever I was recovering from has come back to hit me full on.
Aww rest up and have some nice meals as well.
I hope you feel better soon.
Today is going to be a cold night so hunker up with a movie maybe.
Yeah I would like something light and funny but my left eyeball absolutely hurts despite having a nap and drinking plenty and not doing much. Thank goodness I have a fair bit of premade food to eat. Day feels totally wasted.
Possible you have a cyst on your eyelid?
Getting some good sleep can really help it go away.
Oh yeah, having pre-made stuff certainly helps when you’re feeling down and aren’t up to cooking for sure.
I’m sorry to hear.
Make sure you Get yourself something nice to eat tonight.
Nothing like a good meal to lift your spirits.
I see chicken and veggies on the horizon. And maybe a Callipo if I’m feeling special.
Sounds delicious.
I’m going chicken drumsticks as well with seasoning.
It’s going to be sooo good.
Lol I feel this. Besides putting on some washing I haven’t gotten out of bed yet because this electric blanket is just so toasty1
I’m still debating if I should buy the throw one for couch sitting this week.
Umming and ahhhing right now about it.
I’m only going to get up to reheat my packs or to make dinner later.
Washing done as well!
High five! 🙌
The best and worst part about electric blankets is you don’t have to do anything to make them stay warm. Great because I don’t want to be anywhere except warmth when it’s 10 outside and 12 inside, but bad because it makes it impossible to get out of bed!
Or in my case the couch.
We have a split system in the lounge room so that’s usually where I park up in summer or before I got the blankie
Sitting outside in the sun check
T shirt check
Beer check
Admitting I no longer live in melb check (although I’m only 1.5 hours away)
Oven just went ping. Biscuits are done.
Might have one now while they’re hot, and the others can cool for the tin
I want to own enough cookie trays that cooling between batches isn’t a thing. I also don’t want to own 38 baking trays…
My limiting factor is not lack of trays, but lack of oven. It ain’t big
You only need 4. 1 for each shelf. Take 2 out, put 2 trays in. While baking, transfer hot biscuits to wire cooling rack. Load up new trays. Endless biscuits
Some of the bickies I do have prints and should be chilled. Put trays to 6. But yeah I exaggerate 😝
I’ve been struck with a sudden midnight motivation to tidy my room! Huzzah!
Thank you for doing the daily thread 🤗
You’re welcome goonsy. I was on so figured I may as well do it
I’d hate football a hell of a lot less if it wasn’t for there being 95 gambling ads per minute on every form of media capable of displaying ads, and how obnoxious drunk footgoers are. I don’t go out anywhere on footy nights because I don’t want to be subjected to the musings of the 975 football people, half of whom are sulking a trying to start brawls with the other half, which are cheering and gloating, and all of whom had about 12 drinks too many
Went to the footy today with my daughter. On the way out had to stop at the gent’s. some young lads were kind of trying to chat her up whilst I was absent, nothing rude or lewd.
The looks on their faces when she said ‘Hey dad’ and I stood there towering over them.
Kind of feel bad for their egos, but watching them scurry away was pretty comical.
Don’t mess with the elevator’s daughter after a whizz because the only floor is THE BASEMENT
I gave Ted Cat a small serve of prawn pate in a bowl , the bowl being placed on top of his new harness on the floor. This is to train him and was not his dinner.
Now Bill is yelling at me, telling me his dinner of fresh beef mince meant for cats is not good enough.
They are now both asleep under the heater after a busy day of sleeping under the heater or yelling.
Spoiled.
I’d put the harness on for some prawn pate.
Brothers… maybe Bill cat should wear the harness so Ted cat will want it
I tried that first. They both hate it but at least Bill let me put it on him.
Finally have some decent weather so I’m going to tackle the garage and hopefully get the last of it cleaned out.
I might water the garden 😉
You evil woman!
🤭
And I might wash the car 😇
Hang off for an hour and I’ll have everything out 😂
Oh snap! I’m just about to do a hard-rubbish cull of the shed. Been putting it off for ages, and for some reason the clutter isn’t clearing itself.
Despite living in the equivalent of woop woop, one thing I love is having the studio. When I feel sick I can zonk in front of the computer and make noises lol
This is fucking perfect. Thank you!!!
It’s bottom tier at best
Cool. 🎶
Washing on, breakfast dishes done. I’m going to the market, and then…
Then it’s time to cook. I have big plans
I have yet to get up and I want it that way
Ooh , what’s on the menu?
Beef stew (stout, mushrooms, barley et al)
Veg + chickpea korma
And a batch of biscuits to fill my biscuit tin
Oooh, loves me a good Scotch broth!
Is it ‘fill the freezer’ day?
Something like that. I’ve felt culinarily productive all week but had very little time to cook…today, I go all out
I watched border security for the first time in yonks. I don’t know what it is about “woman tries to bring in 9kg of undeclared rotting food” of “man tries to bring in 17 dead lobsters” that’s so fucking funny but this and highway patrol are like peak television. Who needs strange things or blue is the new beige, people breaking the law and getting in deep shit is all you need
Haven’t watched border security many times but every time I have I have been astonished by the number of people who try to bring pork into the country. Like wtf it’s pork, we’ve got plenty here! It’s not like it’s a rare commodity or anything.
I love cooking pumpkin. I love eating pumpkin. I hate chopping pumpkin
Same. Good thing is you can cook pumpkin with the skin on.
So I can fish the skin out or it comes off easily when cooked?
because if that is true I am never peeling another pumpkin again.
That is true or you can eat it.
awesome ✊✊✊✊✊
What I do is cut it into crescents or chunks, put it in a baking dish, add a sprinkle of cumin, chilli flakes, pepper and salt, a slosh of olive oil and roast it until soft. When it’s on your plate and you’ve had enough of eating skin you can just cut it off with your knife because it becomes very soft when cooked.
Yes. Some kinds of pumpkin will leave a greenish rim after the skin comes off. This is in no way harmful, but can spoil the colour of pumpkin soup. I never peel anything I don’t have to so have been not peeling pumpkin for many years. Actually, the same goes for potatoes. Cook with skin on then slip the hard part of the skin off with a flat bladed knife or your fingers. Usually comes off very easily. As most of the nutrition other than fibre and starch is just under the skin, peeling is wasteful. I recommend rubber gloves as skin comes off most easily when hot and damp from the pot. Also beetroot is tastier cooked with the skin on, but gloves are compulsory when removing skin after cooking. Unless you want to star in a horror film.
I got tired of peeling potatoes and just ended up roasting them with skin on and eating them that way.
Nice when they’re crunchy.
I probably wouldn’t stew pumpkin with skin on, but roasted I always leave skin on for eating
And they are so itchy to pull up when done.
