So at the beach tonight there was a young fam. Parents w/ their boy and girl about 7-5yo-ish respectively with 2 dogs.
Anyway the girl absolutely nailed her bro in the head w/ a tennis ball from 15m away. Seriously good throwing arm and aim.
Boy started crying and walked off with dad… mum cracked the shits at daughter “you can’t throw tennis balls at people!”.
As a younger sibling myself I would’ve been thrilled to have landed that.
As the youngest sibling also, I know the older one would have deserved it.
Four out of eight biscuit batches have been made. Dough for two more chilling in the fridge for baking tomorrow.
I’m very impressed! I did 1 batch of gingerbread this evening and I’m done
First beach dins for the summer.
Was looking forward to that.
turns out the water sys. down here had a leak near the lettuce. Was wondering why they were looking so good.
Am having beach envy… all I can hear rn is bad doof or something from the nearby wedding venue :-(
Your dinner looks good, too
I bet some aldi garlic dip would’ve gone a treat on that.

So nothing of actual value then
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.
Butter Chicken. Excuse my French, but I fucking nailed it.
Edit. Thanks everyone. Tasted great. Here’s the recipe, it’s basically unfuckupable…

ooh nicely done!
why do you torment me like this
Wow, you most certainly have. That curry sauce texture 👌
Bravo!
Wow. That looks awesome.
That looks like it belong in a food blog or magazine. Beautiful
Yum
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.
op shops are the best for this
Another use is layered salads
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
do you find you have cravings or need of pear juice?
Nope. Interesting question, why do you ask?
No reason.
I absolutely do not believe you had no reason!
Edit: Oh constipation. Nope I am still regular - was a bit weird when I was doing only steak and eggs but now I’m adding veg it’s perfectly normal for me
Onya mate 👍
Serious question: Are you gonna go low carb beer or none at all?
I will drink scotch or like vodka soda when I drink
Noice.
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
sounds awesome
Closest they’ve come yet
Cat Man!!
I reckon this is an “outside cat”. She meowed at me repeatedly, and I thought that strays wouldn’t really do that.
Haven’t heard from @[email protected] in a while. Hope they’re OK.
Day #15 of my 7 day gardening project. Only 7 days more to go 🤞
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
war6 hour hold time flashbacks from it(High pitched bit that sounds like it’s melting the phone lines starts at 2:50)
That is bloody awful.
Tbh I actually like it
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.
can’t stop thinking about googly eyes
where can I get some big ones, where are all the good statues that need googlies , where can I wreak mischief without getting in trouble
Outside the Pullman hotel opposite Jolimont station is a bronze rabbit and a bronze mad hatter - ripe for the picking imo.

I have a bag of several hundred and have adorned such things as the fridge and the robovac. Only up to 2cm though.
