Sauce is now all packaged and ready to put away.
Probably the sauciest picture I'm going to see today.
That's marvellous! One upvote for food related content.
I've been really good, eating home cooked meals for weeks, and a disgustingly healthy breakfast of red rice porridge with curry leaf puree and coconut milk.
I really feel like I could do with a pizza this week...
E: to add to this, I've been on decaf only since Sunday to reduce interactions with meds. I'm sure I deserve a medal at this point
Took the day off and did my grocery shopping and treating myself out to a coffee today.
Been awhile since Iβve sat out and had a coffee to relax to.
Just said stuff it and spent the money for one.
My favourite thing about cats, is when you pat them sometimes, and they turn around and death stare you, then quickly groom the area you touched.
Dunno why, but it's so funny. I always apologise profusely and give a treat π±
A Bill and Ted Cat story.
Ted Cat has food issues, he can't seem to control himself, is aggressive and has a tendency to eat anything. Last week he scoffed a piece of corn chip I dropped.
Happened again today but this time Bill showed Ted that he shouldn't eat corn chips, it's not good food. Bill went up to the chip and shied away. After that Ted stopped licking the chip and pushed it away.
Bill is looking after Ted, teaching him things he should know but seems to have miss out on learning when he was kitten.
This is heartwarming. After the initial suspicion, it seems Bill Cat is being 'mother'. So lovely to hear that Ted Cat is being civilised for life in a home.
Ok so I am officially nervous.. I have this little tray of roast vegetables which have instructions for cooking in the air fryer. It says take the plastic film off the tray.. great yep.. then put the tray in the fryer. The tray is plastic. I feel like this isn't right.
IT DIDN'T MELT
SPECIAL HYDROCARBONS
Now in the vegetables
Perfect day to have my day-in-lieu; raining, cool, don't have to get wet on the way to work, bliss.
I'm gonna do the dishes, the laundry, and then relax with my mobile games. ππ
Everyone should get a free "Get Out of Work" card on days like today. I just want to be tucked up reading a book or watching something cosy.
Had no idea Australian Sushi was a thing.
First time I had sushi here I wondered why itβs not cut yet but I ate it like a burrito anyway
It never dawned on me that nobody else sells it like that. Funny ole world innit?
It is currently very wet, with a forecast of "rain increasing". I do not think I will be getting any gardening done today!
It is, however, perfect weather to cook the pork roast I have in the fridge.
Ted Cat decided to tell me it's time for second lunch by sitting on my jigsaw puzzle and staring at me
Did he have the look of murdering your puzzle set if you didnβt feed him?
He was swishing his tail, sweeping pieces onto the floor! π±
( I put on my oodie in case he decides to bite my bum )
Totally tired from peeling 80kg of potatoes at work today. I rarely do that many in one sitting these days as my labour is more valuable in other areas of the factory. Forgot to use allergy spray and felt randomly itchy all day, and my eyes were π΅βπ« which I haven't had before. Got home and cooked dinner and accidentally overcooked the steak whilst I was distracted by laundry related tasks, dammit. The Minipeelers were good about it thankfully.
it appears marge is leaving soon and i can go become mary poppins for a bit
Moved two cubic metres of dirt today. Really glad I didn't get three cube.
Ugh, armpit boil. Most uncomfortable. Can't sleep on that side... Try to sleep on the other side but my arm can't rest on my body. It hasn't come to a head yet so likely another week of discomfort.
I'll be cooking braised steak and onions today. It's that kinda weather.
Iβm looking for some new bedroom furniture, and so far am uninspired by what Iβve seen. Itβs either from big box stores- dated or boring styles, shitty materials and flimsy, or from designer stores at ridiculous prices. My search continues for my goldilocks furniture. Or maybe I should give up and buy the boring stuff because am tired of looking. So much of it is same same. How can there be so much choice yet so little at the same time.
Could someone please deliver breakfast to me in bed. And a pile of snoozing cats. that way I have extra justification for staying in bed

It's reasonable to pack 6 pairs of undies and 6 pairs of socks for a 3 day(3 night) trip right?!
After a week of issues with Startrack, the package has arrived! Housemate is now gazing lovingly at their first fishing rod while also tugging on my sleeve to plan a trip.
Apart from metal and glass I honestly think recycling is a complete scam.
I seemingly accidentally ordered the 4 candles I bought to be delivered to a Parcel Locker I haven't used since pre-COVID (it's near my work) so urrrrrrrrrrrrrgh I have to go all the way across the CBD to get my candles. What a pain in the dick.
Hooray, finally got a response from the uni about a course application. Now to start writing the long email to the supervisor, dig around for all of the unit outline papers, and end up neck deep in paperwork while I'm at it.
At least it's excellent weather for staying inside and being at the computer for hours.
Bill and Ted Cat are watching The Nutcracker with me. ( the Maurice Sendak production ) They like the Mouse King. ππ
