    Epic cooking sesh complete - made a gigantic amount of dal (most for the freezer) and used up almost all the sad veg in the fridge. That’s me done until xmas eve. Pretty glad at what I’ve got thru - chipping away at my old red rice too by mixing it in with basmati. I’ll be glad to start having fewer and fewer bottles and boxes of things in my kitchen.

    Planning to do some more big cooks in Jan when I’ve still got time, and add more to the freezer where I’ve got space. Going to prepare myself for the very busy few months after that. I’ll make sure I’ve always got food without needing to spend on takeaways etc.

    I’m making a biscoff trifle for friend Christmas on the weekend and just realised I have no trifle dish. And big trifle dishes are hard to track down at this time of year apparently. I think I found one in stock at the local Salt & Pepper store, half price as well. But does this dish have any other uses or only for trifle? Sounds like a kitchen cupboard clogger.

      Trifle bowls are generally huge but you can get smaller bowls these days. You can use them for jelly or salads. You’re better off getting a clear plastic bowl from kmart if it’s not gonna get used that often or passed down like a family heirloom.

    I’m 10 days into one meal a day with no carbs, and I feel amazing. Today I feel like my mood was better than its been in months. Not hungry at all between meals, really enjoying what I’m eatin, which recently has been a 250g steak, a zucchini, an avocado and one other random veg, sometimes eggs sometimes not. One black coffee, one serve electrolyte drink, and lots of water

      I’m interested to know how you feel after eating your breakfast compared to the other meals, which I presume would contain a “normal” amount of carbs?

        There are no other meals lol! That’s it. I feel very satisfied and full and that lasts me until the next morning.

        Edit: I can definitely see why you read it that way though oops

    Huh, TIL that annoying classical hold music song that sounds truly dreadful, and has that high pitched bit that ALWAYS crackles out is an actual song that was released on CD as part of an album in the 90s. It’s actually not as annoying as it is on the phone. If it wasn’t hold music and I still stumbled across it, I would probably actually put it on for a bit of a chill vibe. As it stands, I think I’d just get war 6 hour hold time flashbacks from it

    (High pitched bit that sounds like it’s melting the phone lines starts at 2:50)

      This is one of my personal and useless gripes with hold music selection.

      We’re dealing with a narrowband medium designed for the natural range of human voice, why the fuck are they choosing high pitched string and woodwind instruments or “wide” orchestral pieces that only sound good if you can hear the bass?

      Centrelink you’re probably the biggest culprit, this track is an absolute disaster over the phone.

    It is currently 31° outside, and 27.8 inside

    I’m gonna turn on the high velocity fan I got from Kmart and hope that saves me today and tomorrow

    I am kinda blessed to have a library in walking distance though. If it gets above 35 inside, I’m gonna bail and go spend the day there

    E: oh, and the house is fine besides that. No complaints

      I can second this. I have one in my fridge permanently.

      Here’s a tip. Buy a roast chook. Rip a piece off and dip it in. Eat.

          Especially if you’re sticking it out the window and letting it all out into the wind.
