Hooray good potato cake.
So they’ve lowered their prices to $2 but I’ll completely understand if they’re up at $2.50 again come summer.
That is one impressive beast of a potato cake.
gees that looks delicious
Oh yum!

Here’s what being raised by awful parents does. They make every feeling, every trait, everything you do seen thru a lens of negativity. They never once encouraged me or gave praise or showed interest. I had to do everything on my own and that is how I became.
I say this as I just today reframed how I think , and thus feel about something.
So Mr Seagoon is a pretty interesting man. 💗 He does some pretty cool stuff , the sweetest thing is he writes cute stories , and they are good too. I love them.
And I am so into what he writes and him. Negative me was telling myself I let myself be distracted from doing things myself, I go down rabbit holes. ( Which I would then feel guilty )
Positive me tells me he inspires me . 💗
That’s not to say I don’t enjoy his work or the rabbit holes. I Do. No more feeling bad or guilty. Only happiness.
Hugs to you because you always give them out to others. 🫂
That super dangerous But word. I’m trying limit it
Yep. And so much anxiety and perfectionism. Destroys the ability to relax or have fun.
Seems like you’ve found a happier place 😊
Finally moved into my house and finally got to cook in a kitchen for the first time in 2 years. I made a honey chicken stir fry with brown rice and added some jalapeno sauce to the marinade. Delicious!
Now I need some quick and easy and healthy ideas for tonight…suggestions?
Bangers and mash accompanied with steamed veg and gravy.
omelettes made with egg and bottled dorito tomato salsa , 1 tbsp salsa for every gg
rice with cumin and salsa mixed thru
sausages, cook them by baking in the oven, throw in some spuds and vegies to bake at the same time
I have no idea how many sausages I’ve cooked in my life. It must over 1,000.
I have never thought to cook them in the oven. Always on the BBQ or in a frying pan. How long do they take? We’re talking over an hour if you’re cooking them with spuds, yeah?
Anchovies, broccoli, capers, tin of tuna, pasta, parmesan.
Cook pasta. Heat pan, dissolve anchovies in their own oil in the pan, add capers for a bit, add broccoli, stir fry till cooked, add tuna, stir through till heated. Mix through pasta, add parmesan.
happy dance, having a home is a wonderful thing 😊
Had this sudden feeling that I need to go home and see my family. Asked boss if I could work remotely (from another country) and she’s all for it. Need to get approval from HR before I can work remotely now. 🤞
Never felt home sick before and not sure if I am, but I need mum and home
🤞if I have learnt one lesson the hard way in my life its to just go. Don’t overthink it. Go have family time.
I want to go to bed, but have a cat on my lap. She is purring.
Edit: I am now free, Miss Meow headed off to her own bed. It would be funny if she was sitting there thinking “I really want to head to bed, but my human has provided this lap and I don’t want her to think I don’t appreciate it. Guess I’m stuck here until she goes to bed.”
And to break that mood.
You may mow all laugh at my predictable bathroom woes after such an excess of food colouring.
no i will not mow your bathroom doesn’t matter it’s flowering
👅 a asterix in your general direction
Oh you had a black shit?
More a super green. Ever et bubblegum icecream? The swirly stuff?
You lucky little leprechaun you. 🍀
Whoa. News just in Erin Patterson aka Lady Wellington has been arrested. More to come later…
oooooh you beat me to it.
I’m dying to know what the charges are
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent toxic meal?
Her story was always so dodgy. I guess that means they have evidence?
ohhhhhhh 🍿
I had no idea who you meant until the mushroom comment earlier. Delicious… let’s see what they have to say about her “Asian mushrooms”
Can someone eli5 who she is and what the go with the mushrooms is? I vaguely remember seeing an article about it when it happened but it didn’t seem that important to me. But everyone is going wild over it, so now I’m wondering what I’ve missed?
A lady named Erin Patterson had some people over for lunch and she cooked them a beef Wellington (kind of like a large sausage roll) that had mushrooms in it. 3 out of 4 guests died due to death cap mushrooms. She has been arrested today.
Oh, right. I was expecting something more interesting with how much hubbub was happening
Basically bad mushies. There are good bad mushies but these were not the good bad mushies.

I managed 5.3k this morning. Coming down my block, doggo sees a cat in a front yard, pulls on lead. This causes me to miss a lifted section footpath and trip…cue me, desperately trying to not fall flat on my face running cartoon style with doggo chasing cat… Managed to dodge the ground after about 10 or so momentum filled close calls, stand up, get doggo back (still on lead) - and of course from across the street a tradie starts chuckling and saying jeez that was real close there bud, you nearly bought the farm for about 15m…me, huffing and puffing, and adrenaline pumping can only manage to half yell CAT… Then the old man back kicked in, and I limped off. Good times.
I can picture the carton near perfectly.
With the sound effects
And the thumping out of the chest heart…
that little bugger has been so much effort the last couple of days, us been sick and him being sick. But today is the first day we’ve been apart in like, 5 days? And I miss the freaking CRAP out of him. He is getting a bear hug when he gets home from daycare.
Ohhh mushroom lady is arrested!
i had a bet with the p’s and even though it’s in poor taste I’m very close to that $10.
Does it pay out if she gets convicted?
I think the problem is we have rolling bets so no one actually ever pays out heh.
Could people stop ending themselves by jumping at trains please? It is your utter right to exit, but do NOT make somebody else the mechanism.
spoiler
in my city people jump off somewhere tall and sometimes crush someone on the ground
bad shit
My partner has been near landed on, and found multiple others including a brother.
ahhhhhhh
Yeah. Therapy isn’t quite the magic wand the advice /r think
oh no 😔
and they are mentally ill, they aren’t thinking rationally
I know. Also I know.
Looks like nature is healing but it’s a bit too soon to see if it’s permanent.
Just had a chat to my brother no one believes me but we are heading into drought. No one seems to remember 1997 -2009. It’s coming again (maybe at least to an extent) and here I am feeling like the weirdo in the corner with the Thomson at 100%. I’m not apologising.
why do you think I went nuts on the tanks first and foremost with the new place
I’ve been saying it all year. It just feels like it. Warm dry autumn and winter leads to drought.
I believe you…
I believe you
Ahh crap :(
Well I guess it depends on what you mean by drought. It’s true that this summer will be drier than usual, but in practical terms I think we are pretty good for water.
what you mean by drought
You don’t believe me either. I’m more worried about next year and beyond they (droughts) go for some time.
It’s hard to predict weather and climate that far into the future, so I can’t say you’re wrong.
But honestly that’s Australia, it’s always been a land of fire and floods, so another drought was inevitable sooner or later in any case. It is what it is.
