If anyone’s in Moonee Ponds, Luke’s for banh mi. Friend and I unanimously agreed it was probably the best we’ve had. I would totally travel down that way for it again! And they have mock meat ones too.
I used to live opposite the one in Reservoir and it got me through lockdown. They’re opening a new location opposite Melbourne Central soon. Can’t wait to be able to grab it for lunch regularly again.
This is the best thing I’ve heard all day.
Ok, you have me sold on the mock meat bahn mi. I don’t travel that way regularly any more but must make the visit next time I’m it area!
Full disclaimer: the line is about as long as the line to the jam donut stall at the queen Vic markets on free donut day. Seriously, I walk past it fairly often and the line is almost always like 40 people and stretches half way down the block
Can recommend the cafe a few mins down the road, six points though, I love their bloody Mary eggs Benny. They mix a little bit of siracha into the hollandaise and it’s surprisingly good
I went around 3 or 4pm and there was only a small line. Not surprised the line is bigger at other times!
Ending up stripping down to just undies for the vacuuming, so hot!
Got pizza for dinner though, with plenty of leftovers for the next few nights.
Place is looking gooooooood
Time for a big fat glass of ice water and a cold shower. Then tomorrow, I tackle the balcony and bathroom.
Ahaha, nice to know I am not the only who partakes in nekkid domestics.
It’s the only way it’s bearable in weather like this! Plus no dirty clothes to worry about, win win!
Update: I ate the pate. I ate the pate before I posed the question in fact. Tomorrow, I will let you know if it was a good idea or not.
I also ate some cottage cheese that was opened more than 5 days ago and some tasty cheese that tasted not quite right (I tossed that) so eeny meeny miny moe.
please post if you are deaded from the pate
Will do and I’ll also haunt your arses. Oogeddy boogedy.
eek
Where’s the fucking raaaaaaain?!
It’s so hot in this fucking apartment, but I’m vaccuming, tidying up, all while drinking a beer.
Idgaf
Is coming but looks like more from 9pm onwards. Later if you’re out east. Mad props to you vacuuming in this weather, beer truly lets you do anything hey.
I wish I could still drink a beer without feeling weird and sick. Getting buzzed might help me deal with the dishes
I wish I wasn’t always tired and stressed out. I wish it was easier to get stuff I need and get things done independently.
Life sucks to the point of meaninglessness sometimes but I want to take great care of Melbcat and grow heaps of healthy food for people that can eat it.
I’m of the belief humans are as intelligent as they are because we’re meant to be protectors and guardians of this planet, of all flora and fauna.
That’s life’s meaning for me, it shouldn’t matter if there’s something more after we die, as long as we do our utmost to take care of animals and plants. I think you are meaningful, because you’re trying to grow food, and looking after Melbcat.
I really like this outlook. Might steal it 😀
Maybe doing good things is the meaning. 😘
It must be results day - I passed the assignment I half-arsed. One more half-arsed assignment to go and I can see the back of this subject for good, yay! The other subject is much better, the next assignment I get to spend time counting birds in my backyard.
Ravens. 🙂🐦⬛
One half arsed congrats 🎉 and one half arsed good luck with the next assignment.
HELL YEAH!!! I’M SO PROUD OF YOUUU!!! WHOO!!
💜🙌🏼💜🙌🏼💜
Nice!
Yay. One more to go!
You can do it!
Psyching myself up to clean the house for the inspection on Wednesday.
Ughhhhhh UGHHHHHH I don’t wanttt tooooo but if I don’t do it today I know I’ll be rushing around tomorrow doing it. Which is good motivation but also not how I want to spend my Tuesday. We’ve done the spare room, but I still need to vaccum and do the bathroom, and stove top. Tidy up a bit.
But I’m not moving the cat’s boxes. They can walk around them, he lives here too dammit
Edit: in other news, all 9 of my assessments this term have been marked now - and I passed!! Now I don’t have to stress until Feb! Yay!

Goodnight all ❤️Girl I work with: “I got suspended for two weeks because I shared my discount card with my friends,”
Me: “How many people are we talking?”
Her: “Oh, more than 10.”
🤣
She was very lucky to be suspended and not sacked. Very lucky.
She was going to get sacked but the managers decided to just suspend her.
I would be taking a look at the manager’s use of their cards in that case.
Looks like the fan I bought 2 weeks ago stopped working. Lovely
That didn’t last long. Can you return it?
Ehhh more effort than its worth I think, and I didn’t keep the receipt
If it’s faulty, some places will take it back without the receipt.
Well you could say at least that model didn’t blow you away.
You know, it’s pretty scummy to buy fans; much more ethical to earn them lol
Question: Would you eat pate that is one week (use by) out of date?
CAUTION: DO NOT mansplain the difference between use by and best before or I will be forced to severely downvote you.
DO NOT mansplain
I’ll bite.
Best before was when I was in my 20’s.
Used by was probably before that.
edit: I deserved that.
Yes you did
:(
I fix for you :)
Um, ackshually it isn’t mansplaining if I don’t identify as a man. Ah ha!
Nah all jokes aside, If it’s unopened, go at it! Pate was made so it would last longer than it’s ingredients by themselves.
If it’s opened then forgeddabowtit
Still sealed from the shops, yep. Open a week or homemade and it’s a dog treat.
It was unopened
No hesitation.
Agreed
Yes. If I trusted the purchase point to store it correctly before purchase. I know my fridge keeps it’s cool properly, but swoopermarkets are another thing again. The whole point of pate is to put a highly perishable food into a format that does keep a bit longer. Refer liverwurst. And potted shrimp. And tarasamalata (I think I’ve spelled that understandably, if not correctly).
tarasamalata
That’s the first I’ve ever heard of or seen that word I think. The food itself looks way up my alley 😍
Aldi make a nice one. The smoked one is shit but the plain one is good. A good deli also make it.
Yummy. The Aldi one is good, the Piedmonte’s one is fantabulous.
Not sure. Maybe one or two days at the most as long as texture, taste and smell was ok.
Pate? No.
I probably wouldn’t.
Absolutely loving the assignment result theme today, so chuffed to see highly deserving people being rewarded for their hard work :D
Nearly everyone was on leave today and there’s a huge pile of due-todays and overdues, AND I got lobbed a site inspection from someone who decided to work tomorrow instead of today last minute. Proud that I got through a pretty good chunk of it without panicking. It helped that the only other person in today is very chill and calm. Though they were besieged by tech issues.
About to return home to The Furnace and wfh a bit more so everything is done and ready to be checked tomorrow am. Grateful to past self for getting pizza on special for an easy meal tonight
E: annoyed however that psych practice didn’t tell me the 2nd referral hadn’t come through despite my doing days in advance. And they said it wasn’t their responsibility, well whose is it because I don’t have a spare $200 out of pocket to casually afford like that. Also, it looks like our bins have not been collected. Possibly because there’s a parking spot right out front. I suspect they haven’t been collected for weeks, which explains why they’re overflowing. I’m gonna have to ring the council to ask about another collection. Sigh
Since I’m recovering from yesterday, today was the sort of day where you action the most urgent new requests then check if Nier Automata mods are working.
I’ve got some long term background stuff I’ll work twice as hard on tomorrow
Got my uni results today and my average is bang on to get into the really expensive version of a course needed to progress further in a specific career. I won’t be doing that course, but it’s nice to know that if I want to pay $40,000 for a year’s worth of study, I have the grades for it.
$40k! 😭😭😭 Brütal af.
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉 I KNEW YOU WERE A TOTAL SMARTIE!!! TREAT YO SELF 💜💜 WHOO HOOO!!!
Congrats 🎉
Can’t wait to have the wisdom teeth taken out. One of the stupid idiots decided to grow dead sideways. Not slightly sideways, almost a straight horizontal angle directly into the next tooth. Usually it’s okay, but every now and again evidently I do something it doesn’t like and then it really hurts. Today was one of those days
For some reason, whenever I have any tooth pain, my immediate, subconscious, dare I say instinctual response is to grind that tooth. No clue why. It makes the pain much worse, but it helps for about half a second I guess
You don’t need to pay for it, do you? Even with private insurance, I was out of pocket several hundred dollars when I had mine out, and that was a decade ago.
This happened to my older brother, but not a wisdom tooth. We were told then that sideways teeth were more common than you’d think. Makes you wonder how people coped before proper dentistry. Feel for ya.
Wow! I knew impacted wisdom teeth were common, but had no clue regular teeth were prone to doing summersaults too
