Back from shopping. Soooooo humid. Preston market is crazed, they had the misting spray on to cool people down - in close to 100% humidity. Not terribly effective.
Side note : found a lonely block of frozen tofu at the bottom of the freezer. I’m bored with my usual marinades so any suggestions? I usually do either a curry paste based one or a standard soy/mirin/chilli one.
I ❤️my Teriyaki Sauce:
1/2 cup low sodium Tamari (or soy sauce)
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons grated garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the Tamari, pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Whisk to combine well.
Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to medium low. Continue to cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat to cool and set aside.
Oooh looks yum and I have all the makings. Thanks umgod!
ooh that looks good.
tofu is yummy with peanut satay sauce
Got a delayed buttock / hamstring injury from moving concrete the other day.
No-one expects the
Spanish inquisitiondelayed buttock injury.Our chief weapon is buttocks, buttocks and glutes, glutes and buttocks. Our two weapons are glutes and buttocks, and ruthless hamstrings. Our three weapons are glutes and buttocks and ruthless hamstrings and an almost fanatical dedication to the arse.
can I just add , this weather is really shitty for humans
but it’s good for bread making so today I will be making a dozen olive bread dinner rolls and I’ll add a cup of warm milk to the mix to make it extra soft, tender and milky white.
Slept straight through the night. ~10pm-5am.
Feels so muggy, yucky!
Nothing a beer and some left over pizza can’t fix mate 🍻🍺🍕
Funnily enough because i chose to eat the massive meat roll and almost made myself sick again from eating it, I still have that 2nd pizza!
No beer though sadly.
Just a lonely bottle of pink moscato
Skull! Skull! Skull! Skull!
Beer is basically liquid bread, so why not have it for brekky? 🍺
I’m just grateful it’s not hot and muggy!
It was a little warm here. I caved and turned on the cooler but I think I’m going to run the dehumidifier mode now and see if that changes anything
Today is the type of soaking rain that is great for the garden. Pity my garden plan is to pull out almost everything currently there and put in some new plants that have not arrived yet!
Oh well, I do have some tomatoes that will be enjoying it, along with the potatoes I planted yesterday.
At least it will be good for the soil whether plants are in there or not
yes and no, too much rain washes the nutrients out of the soil
I have very sandy soil, so it washes out really quickly and also does not retain the moisture easily. I’ve done a fair bit of work building it up so it is better than it was, but it definitely chews through the fertilizer.
Good morning. I’m off to the market. Please communicate any requests
Breakfast please. A bacon and egg roll would be great.
A rose and an apple tree please.
Errrrgh. Morning. It’s raining. And I have to do a big shopping. Errrrgh. Does anyone sell intravenous coffee?
I can make supercharged lethal coffee, you have to bring your own iv bag.
A friend used to buy powdered caffeine and keep it in a snuff box.
Does anyone sell intravenous coffee?
I don’t know but I need this asap
Will post when I find a provider.
🙌🏼
Hectic rain on its way, thank goodness - it’s been so warm and humid overnight!
Gonna have a bit of a lie in and then start on moving around shit in the living room and unpacking that stuff once and for all. And putting together the damn bookshelf.
While we were heading from Hay towards Echuca last night, we saw this crazy thing:
Sure hope that’s not on its way…
Two breakfast day today 😍 scrambled eggs on toast with avo first. Then cafe at 1130 W my friend to play some chess and have a bagel and coffee
Androids update for my phone has changed all my overlay weather thingies to Fahrenheit. I’ve gone into every setting I can find and changed it back to Celsius, I’ve restarted my phone, but it’s still Fahrenheit.
😑😑😑😑
If anyone is wondering, it's currently 68°F
Nice looking widget though lol
Oh and that is transparent, what you’re seeing is my background I made in Pixlr lol.
wallpaper
OK that is really fucking cool!!!
Also, your home page is way more organized then mine lol
So chaotic!!!
Love your wallpaper too!!! 😍
Adhd strikes again! lol
Yep I getting a new launcher
Lol! The other slides to the right have my games and whatnot. If I need an app that isn’t on my home pages I just search for it.
I just get wigged out having too much busy-ness. So I try to sort it all out by what I use the most. It’s the most organised I’ve ever been 😂
Wow that background is cool!
mine

I fixed it now lol! The android 15 update reverted all languages to US English. So I had to go into every setting (there were 4) and revert them back to Aus English. Then changed the units to Celcius, AND THEN remove the widget and re-added it so it would update 😮💨 But now it’s all metric again, lol.
I sent Pixel feedback about it via my phone lol, because that was a major pain in the arssssssse
It’s the just widget for the default Pixel Weather app haha
It’s called “at a glance”, the colours behind it would be Stud’s wallpaper:
Mine did that, too. I don’t know what changed, but after a couple of days, it changed itself back to Celsius. It was weird. But ever since the update, it has a habit of not even telling me the weather half the time, it just says the date
Slightly related: outlook and windows outright refuse to respect my requests to give me the weather in Celsius. Windows is always telling me it’s 75f° in Melbourne or whatever, and when outlook sends me daily summary emails at 3am, if I have anything on which is just a teams meeting and doesn’t have a location attached, it will tell me the weather in a random city in California
Goodnight all ❤️
Sleep? What a novel concept.
We’ll go with this one, the daily threads have been creeping too far before the day they’re for.
I’m fine with a little early, it’s better than too late.
Shoutout to the time I had a nap and woke up at 6pm thinking it was 6am and made a new thread thinking no one else did
Hahahahahhahahaha
😹
Brion, are you volunteering to stay up til 12 every night to start the thread?
😂😂
How difficult is it to say thank you?
When others start the thread I am grateful knowing they stayed up and made the effort for the community.
Seagoon = Chaotic Good
100% !
I can probably do them most nights, but I’m weird about doing things in what I perceive to be “the right way”, so only post exactly at, or after, 12
I liked the idea of checking in a few hours before and working out who’s available to post it, but Nath (I think) told me to stop asking, so I did
Not sure what happened but sometimes we have to make it early because we have to do it manually and it was taking a toll on people staying up when they needed to sleep.
In the interests of looking after people that’s the concession we arrived at to look after people so in the grand scheme of things it’s not a big problem.
The amount of sales-related emails and texts I’ve been getting is staggering. More than any previous year I feel. These businesses ask for a mobile for an online order and then it gets used to spam promotions. Mass unsubscribing is in order.
