Elder Minipeeler decided to spontaneously clean his room today, mainly and noticeably focusing on purging old school stuff. Did a thorough job and I’m very proud of him.
In the meantime Miniest made a carrot cake, with very little intervention from me (gotta make sure the batter actually ends up in the cake tin and less in the mouth lol)
You have an excellent set of Minipeelers there :)
Yummy. Cream cheese icing or lemon?
Cream cheese with a little lemon in it 😋
Delicious
Tell miniest that looks like an excellent cake :)
Gorgeous! Ask Miniest to send me some (if there’s any left).
That is a most excellent cake. When is afternoon tea?
Drinks with a friend, very lovely to see 💜 consumed some Guzman y Gomez and got a noice whiskey
What whiskey?
I shall judge the niceness.
Hobart Whiskey: Tasmanian Whiskey Liqueur, and Tawny Cask Finish. Also have some of their signature but haven’t cracked that yet
Edit: the signature is “American oak, ex-bourbon matured”
As a whiskey wanker, I approve.
Have been learning about cars the last few weeks as I’m about to buy something cheap.
Looks like the old reliable corolla is going to be the pick.
Corolla 4 life.
Can’t go wrong. I reckon the Hyundai i30 is a solid bet too…If I bother getting a car again a good ole corolla is high on the list.
Will suss it out, cheers!
I mean, the car I really want I might be able to buy down the track. But for now, it’s getting from a to b
Gah. Lost the prelims :(
Going to bury my sorrow in something now.
Commiserations 🍷
It was a valiant effort at least. Great game
There’s only 3 things in this world I don’t eat. Cantaloupe, rice pudding and porridge. Now I can add papaya to that list. Ick.
Sardines, anchovies and sardines.
Bullshit. Everybody loves sardines.
Fuck someone downed thumbed you too heh.
It’s a tough crowd in here
😂
I think we can narrow this down.
same
Same but add tuna.
Eggplants are my worst enemy. Makes me throw up.
Olives are next and then hmm anchovies?
You can definitely get bad eggplants.
Doubt it’s a coincidence it happened on 3 seperate occasions even when I didn’t know they were eggplants.
Crunchy peanut butter. Tripe. Oysters. Not too keen on mussels anymore either. Sushi is fine but I don’t really like the soft squish
Edit: Durian. (Haven’t had the fruit but have had durian flavoured crackers.) Also I don’t like cantaloupe
I loooovvvve oysters. Straight up. Down the hatch. No lemon. No pepper and salt.
I’ll take your hand and join you…
None of them register in my brain as food.
Fair. Cucumber, olives, and coffee for me. Not that coffee’s a food, but people sneak it in.
I eat/drink these things everyday. Thanks for your courage though.
Balsamic vinegar, pickled herring and giardiniera
Papaya is great, but can be off putting.
Mussels in vinegar are weird. I’ll still eat them but they are chewy little fuckers.
endive, ersatz chocolate, tripe
I’ve never had tripe because my mother refused to cook it after growing up with it.
I’ve never knowingly had it either. Who knows what’s in a lot of foods? 😬
👀
sausages aka mystery bags
Yeah possible I guess
It’s very likely used in sausage rolls as of at least 4/5 years ago. The pale colour and lesser volume was a hint.
I didn’t mind though as if it was it disguised both the texture and the taste/smell that puts me off
Cantaloupe, rice pudding and bread n butter custard 🙅🏼♀️⛔
Bread n butter pudding is alright. Just make that shit fancy.
good bread, good butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, sultanas soaked in brandy. ( How does that sound? )
Throw some berries in there and make the proper custard and you’ve got yourself a deal.
I left the ramen restaurant hungry. You’d think $25 would get you a decent sized ramen but no. Two tiny pieces of pork belly. And the broth was like chicken soup.
Which place?
Name and shame! 🔱
Shop Ramen. Been on my list to try for a while but it was very average and expensive.
Thank you!!
Unsatisfying ramen is a shame
Son has recovered from COVID, only for the wife to be struck down.
No idea how I’m still avoiding it. Superior genes perhaps?
Or more likely my flu+covid shot I got earlier this year.
Some people apparently are just resistant to it. I still haven’t had it, and haven’t had a covid vax for a couple of years now. It’s been floating around at work on a semi-regular basis so I’m pretty sure I would have been exposed quite a few times.
We are strong. Everyone else, very weak.
We shall rule this realm and dance on a mountain of bones!!!
Dancing on a mountain of bones sounds like a bit of a risky manoeuvre. We survive Covid and die after tripping over a badly placed femur, rolling down the side of the mountain and being crushed under an avalanche of skulls.
Perhaps we can crush the bones and use them to create a nice, flat, hard-packed dancefloor instead?
Not a bad idea. Boil down the bones for adhesive to mix with the crushed up bones.
Either way, we’re fuckin dancing
Saturday afternoon is the perfect time for “doing sweet fuck all”. This is my recharge time from the work week.
Sunday is for chores etc.
But Saturday afternoon is blissful nothingness.
Also I bought a pair of Carhart pants. The last pair lasted 5ish years. Heavy initial cost, but the saving is significant over time.
My chores are done for today. Finally getting some food then I’m doing SFA till my Geelong Cats play this late afternoon.
Almost feels like I didn’t get much done in the end and it’s Already so late.
Considering he’s so small, Chook is an absolute pig. The MESS, my god
They flick the husks out of their cage!
Was gonna go to CERES community garden today, but the weather is dodgy so no guarantee the market will be on.
My oodie has been donned, and escape room game has been loaded 😙👌
Ooh what game?
The House of Da Vinci on the play store. It’s an interactive puzzle, really pretty! And puzzling! I have discovered I may think too laterally, or not laterally enough 😂
Decided to take my (SILs) bike on the scenic foreshore front beach path back home from the shops. Usually don’t do that as people (and kids / dogs) are a bit all over the place. Anyway now I have a bell with a unicorn on it which I’m required to use by law. it also has a front basket. I didn’t use the bell but felt empowered (and got laughed at by two young girls). They didn’t have unicorn bells or a front basket so fuck em. I’m gonna get some tassels next.
In more serious news the Pt. Lonny front beach was absolutely smashed by recent swell / weather. Had a chat to a local who was walking past and she’d never seen anything like it either. Must’ve been wild.
Also got about 10 hellos from randoms which was nice.
Get some cards to weave in the spokes and really floss on em
heh yess! also maybe:
Do they still make those beads for spokes, so you can go tick tick tick as you ride?
Spokey dokes and yes they do.
Now I want a bike with a unicorn bell and a front basket lol
Gon’ eat me a chiko roll and watch cartoons…
Recently discovered that I have very low iron levels so got put on iron pills. Have been taking them for a week, and just got through a heap of housework today without wanting to collapse from exhaustion. Seems like the pills are working - who’d have thunk?!
Had to take these during radiotherapy for cancer as iron levels had fallen off a cliff. Horrid things. They didn’t do much for iron levels as I had serious dire rear at the time. Also hated the color of poops - thoroughly unnatural. Given a choice, I’d go for the infusion I think.
Oh, that sounds rough. The poop colour change is, erm, surprising
Green is just … just … not what it really should be.
Awesome! Keep an eye on your fibre and water intake, iron supps can make you a little constipated. Source: me, someone who also needed iron and had this happen.
I’ve gotta remember to drink more water. They’re pretty rough on the stomach, too, but it’s worth it for the benefits it seems
I’ve been taking vit d and iron gummies all winter
dunno if it has helped 🤷♀️
Jealous. I was going to have an iron infusion but was hesitant for reasons
Tbh I’m relieved the dr recommended trying pills instead of that, as I’ve heard mixed reviews even though it’s apparently very effective
Waaaaakkkkeeee Uuuuuup Everybody! Time’s a-wasting. Lots to do today. Big shop for bulk household stuff, market for fresh stuff (Preston), laundry, garden & a lunch appointment that I’m not altogether thrilled about. This afternoon I’ll probably dissolve into a puddle and rest.
After yesterday’s drama I’m just going to putter and chill.
cracks an eye I just did stuff yesterday
I have lots to do as well… Lots of NOTHING!
Here here
Have you tidied your room?
NUP AND I AINT GUNNA
At least remove the sneakers from under the bed. Before they get many days dead.
Ok. I’m all set for the game!
Come on Catters!
Got my chips, got some wine. I’m all primed and ready!
Rooting for the cats just for you 😺
