My dinner tonight was fabulous

Image of a plate with Mediterranean chicken drumsticks, lebanese rice, hummus, toum,spicy roast pumpkin and a piece of lebanese bread. 5/5 yum yums.

Yup I'm definitely in middle-America...

I have and could have taken so many more photos of stuff like this

I have a throat infection or a cold or flu and man it is fucking me up baaaaadly. Tomorrow is eofy work dinner at a really nice place. I just want to be able to go.

So my wife just told me that shortly after I went to the office, one of the cats parked herself on top of her.

With her butt right up her face.

Apparently she also just took a shit moments before.

And then she just stared at my wife like there she didn't do anything wrong.

Tried to convince my manager that we should shut the office for the afternoon and go for a trip to one of the chocolatier places as a team bonding experience. It didn't work today... but I'm sure I'll try again tomorrow.

Been to pub. Mildly inebriated (this word took me three attempts on the phone keyboard)

15 years in prison for Malka Leifer somehow doesn't seem enough

Oh it's breakfast time so I can show you all my breakfast from this morning. Humungous breakfast burrito from that same diner I went to last night. Fork for scale. That's their home made "green chilli" on the side, which was not green but was delicious.

more floofiness , Oscar ( blue himalayan ) with totoro

Hi kids. I’m about to start work and I don’t want to

Din dins tonight - pork shoulder chop marinated in nostimini, mashed spud and brussells sprouts dressed in dijon mustard and butter.

(

Chicken and cashew tonight.

With that magical bull's eye carolina reapr hawt sauce. only a few mls left which makes me sad.

Hoping today will be the last day I need off due to sore throat. Can't work with no voice. Can't risk making throat worse until it's healed. Feeling better today but still sore and swollen lymph nodes. This week has sucked

Brains trust. I somehow have inherited 5 heads of broccoli that I need to use this week.

Recommendations? (Other than soup which is sorta my last ditch option...)

Everyone's got that one co-worker who doesn't bloody listen, right?

TWICE today I've tagged something as "need to discuss with team lead, leave this alone and I'll come back to it when I have an answer"

Twice today he's ignored that tag. He's done the work as though I hadn't said anything...and his answers have proven to be the wrong ones.

Twice today I've had to go back and fix his mistakes, on work he shouldn't have been doing because I specifically said I was investigating something about it and needed to confirm I was right.

DAMN IT, DUDE, STOP TOUCHING MY STUFF

Goddamn it I hate it when podcasts fade an interviewee in and out and you only hear about half a sentence before the host starts talking again. My brain is working overtime trying to follow what's being said with such an unnatural alternation of voices

Ordered a home delivered rat test. Fingers crossed it's not covid...

My culinary experiment today was very successful. I took one microwave sausage roll, heated it as per instructions, then took it out of its sleeve and air fried it for 5 minutes. It went from a 3/5 yum yums to a 4/5 yum yums.

(Please note that 5/5 yum yums is reserved for homemade sausage rolls only).

Pleasure! I'm often at Woolies so I can check them quite frequently.

Enjoy!

Edit: dammit, this was meant to be a reply to Force about Kippers. Not sure how this happened.

The crash of the Aussie dollar means buying books from the US is now very expensive . And no, most of what I want ( non fiction technical books ) are not available here in dead tree nor available on audible

So I'm still thinking about that planner, I probably will get it and do it on afterpay since it'll be like $25 every two weeks (I also want some pens from the shop that I really like, Zebra Sarasa!). But I went to see if I have a notebook available so it can tie me over until 2024, and I found my 2020 Bullet Journal, I did Bujo-ing since like 2016 maybe 2015 so I was in the deeps with this thing. But because 2020 was well... 2020, I stopped using it because there wasn't really a point to it. But around March I started journaling essentially, and I'm reading through my thoughts and I'm so thankful for past self doing it because, yeah. Though the ADHD really shown through in 2020 because I'm talking about my stint with rollerskating (I wanna get back into it but chronic pain 😭

But in April, I said "I'm not too sure what else to put here. Most of days are at home but I guess this is for me when I'm older, if they look back at it. To you, I hope you're safe <3" and I cried. Sorry this is so long, but I have a lot of feelings.

Final night of night rotation and then it's back to the land of the living, thank goodness. Thinking of doing a spot of antiquing this weekend, I need to find another nice tea set for the tea party I'm throwing.

I've got a massive zit where one would have a moustache if one should choose that lifestyle.

I think I’m getting crook again. I’m not even completely over the last one. Somethings clearly doing the rounds.

Dinner for me tonight.

Potato salad and air fried southern seasoned chicken.

Yum yum

I think I need to bake something tonight (not myself). I want to make lasagne. Or cupcakes. Both! All of the things.

@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone

I went to Aldi for some groceries today.

Bought a little bit too more than I bargained for and had to cut back on some stuff.

No party pies sadly. Their single frozen sausage rolls are 1.99 each. Almost tempting but I went for t-Rex chicken nuggets and guess what I found?

Hash browns! Mislabeled and all but I grabbed a bag of those too. 1kg for $4.69.

Also frankfurts went up by 40 cents a pack :(

Slept like a log, but ground my teeth so my jaw hurts and I have a slight headache ugh

I'm being quite whingy but I'm not overly bad off, just extremely bleeeehhhhhhhgghgghhhh

Marmalade remade, lemon juice added and a bit of pectin. Put some star anise on top and it smells like a German cake shop. yum

Disco music is becoming a real dirty pleasure of mine lately. Started with the movie The Martian of all places. Feel strange walking around listening to a bit of Boney M.

Bring on the warm weather, I am sick of wearing jumpers and ooodie.

I don't have a photo but you can totally put lemon garlic broccoli in an cashu chicken.

Broccolui recipy:

chashu chick is nagi's.

If I were veg I'd just do shit takes .

Idea is you're 3/4 way there for the cashoo, your mind turns to broccoli and then you just throw the whole thing together and the lemon actually compliments the dish you're butchering.

I’m so annoyed that I don’t have the energy or appetite to cook anymore.

I’m still going to look at your food pics and chime in though

- the amount of times I look at my watch and I see this is bizarre. And, no, I don't mean once or twice a day...like, I don't see it's 1:23 or 3:45 all the time...

Felt actually hungry for the first time in a couple of days. Ordered Chinese food. I couldn't taste it except for the spicy soup, which I could almost taste, but which inexplicably had chunks of pineapple and raw tomato floating around in it. Not sure what kind of Chinese food that is lol. The steamed dim Sims looked like a couple of brains. The chicken satay skewers were done in a batter, which I haven't encountered before and hopefully won't again.

My earworm right now is

my neck my back lick my pussy and my crack

And it is all that is getting me through this snotty nose and sore throat.

Based on the number of enquiries about my outdoor furniture I think I underpriced it 🤣 It does mean it should be gone this afternoon, and I will have 1/3 of the estimated garden project cost covered, so that is a good result. Once it's gone I'll be able to make a start on pulling up some paving.

The newspapers are looking good today.

I bought the book Legends and Lattes on Saturday and I'm a little over 100 pages and it makes me so happy. It's so cute. I've heard people really love it or really dislike it. I hope I like it by the end. But so far, really enjoying it! I highly recommend it to people who like fantasy settings similar to Dungeons and Dragons, or cozy murders (so far no murder but it's called a cozy fantasy). I'm not even a fan of fantasy myself and I'm enjoying this.

This shit is WILD. International secretive art dealing and tax dodging!

@Duenan@aussie.zone I loaded up on the discount herring today, thanks for the tip!

Already went to sleep but woke up, apparently to listen to: The Roots - You Got Me

Could all the people on the tram who have a low level constant sniffle, please blow your noses properly. I get that cold weather can cause a minor nasal drip, but please I'm over it. It just wasn't that cold today.

I've always worn my Minnie Mouse costume with pants but was planning to wear it with stockings and shorts tomorrow only to be told by my mum that it's too short. I would ordinarily just brush it off but it stuffs up my whole plan for tomorrow as I'm leaving from work to go to dinner and I was planning to change into a dress, but now I'd have to go to work in pants and a top, carry my costume to wear over top and carry a dress, stockings and shorts (to prevent chub rub) and my brain just can't compute that. Also not even sure what dress I'm wearing tomorrow night let alone what shoes/boots to wear that I can just wear all day and there's no dress code. So basically I'm on a spiral and instead of coming up with a solution I'm sitting on my bed paralysed by the indecision and uncertainty.

I'm hoping the snuffly feeling is two days consecutive lawn mowing (ours yesterday, next door's today) plus the wood fire + burning old documents and not What's Going Around...
