The taco spring rolls were great, but they were NOTHING compared to the mac and cheese spring rolls. Honestly the mac and cheese was a bit shit but wrapped in the crispy spring roll with the soft creamy interior? easily one of the best things I've cooked this year! right up there with my roux alfredo.
BoM was saying 20's a few days ago for next week, bumped it down to 19 now we at 20's again why you gotta do me like that.
byoooodiful weekend, I can finally get that final front brick wall completed so of course my brain has decided HEY LETS GO PUT OPENWRT ON ALL THOSE ROUTERS YOU SCAVENGED AND MAKE THE MESH
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 :(
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.
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 appear to have burnt myself out on art but despite the block the desire is still there.
Iβm just so constantly exhausted and not feeling good or stressed out
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
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
Class finished early and I learned that kahoots gives me competition anxiety π love it though.
I don't care if it's almost 11, I'm having a post dinner coffee and enjoying it damnit
huh itβs hot
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?.
