      yum, that looks incredible

      what temp is your oven, it looks very hot

      and the base looks delicious an fairly thin. How long does it take to cook?

        This was @ 250c preheated for 30 mins to get it up there.

        Wish I had a proper pizza oven :(

        It was in there for about 12mins

      Now I’m thinking of him and Bill Cat looking like the human Bill and Ted. Bill Cat with long shaggy metalhead hair and Ted Cat with a mullet

    Last night we went to Ravenna Gorge Christmas market, not too far from Freiburg. It. Was. AWESOME. It’s under a train viaduct thing that gets lit up in various colours. It was so atmospheric and fun, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you’re in Germany at Christmas market time.

      Germany at Christmas is magic. I spent an amazing Christmas in Nuremberg about 20 years ago. Snow, Christmas lights, Tannenbaum’s, glühwine… So so nice. Enjoy

      This really does highlight just how underwhelming Christmas is Australia. Here the local councils and shopping centers throw up some cheap plastic decorations and say yeah that’ll do.

    Sitting here contemplating flipping a coin as to whether I’ll go for an overnight road trip border adventure but realised I need to get out of this apartment so the answer is already Go.

        It’s a little late for that, I just arrived after my 3.5 hour drive here. Out of curiosity I did flip the coin before I left and it said don’t go.

          Ah ok. Well if you flipped the coin and it said don’t go but you go anyway then you already made your join and the coin flip just confirms it.

    Gah! Just found out something I purchased 3 days ago went on sale literally hours after I bought it.

    Can’t do much since it’s a digital product but it has left me a bit sour.

    On the bright side it was worth it for full price so it takes the edge off at least.

    I’m in trouble for daring to use a laptop on my lap. Don’t I know laps are for cats?

      A cat is technically a laptop.

      After all they sleep on top of your lap right?

    Carol and the end of the world on netflix is a such a sweet and life-affirming show. Highly recommend!

    Spent the day in the sun, and despite taking precautions I’ve made myself sun sick… Smothering myself in aloe and climbing into bed with an ungodly amount of water.

    Yeah, after repeated soaking and washing these blankets still smell. They really let that shit get baked in there. I may also be looking at a new pet pram.

    Feeling understimulated but lazy and my hand hurts from scrolling. I don’t want to practice real art stuff. I just want to shitpost and trace memes. Bored.

    What are these Hot Take days?

    Ted Cat has good days and bad days. He still bites sometimes. ( and not nips either 😬) but generally he’s a lot calmer and I think a bit happy His fur is growing back nicely, into a cat mullet . I’ll try to get some pics :)

    Never underestimate how a simple meal of toast and peanut butter.

    Feels heavy in my tummy.

      I had never heard of this one. Seems like a good way to spend an afternoon. I won’t be able to attend unfortunately which is a shame, I’m looking for a smallish antler rack.

        No actual antlers to be had. Plenty bad art with them…

          Let us know what your favourite curiosities are there if possible. Maybe a photo or two to share with the class?

            Didn’t take any pics. One place had a flying lizard specimen which was tempting. The oddest was probably the teapots with bits of ex-fox for handles and spouts. Interesting, but no thank you.

      It’s a massive undertaking for me and would certainly like to wind down some aspects of it. Mainly the cooking parts .

    Stubbed my big toe yesterday on a door while closing it. Can’t walk on it and it fucking hurts. Been icing it and resting all day. Hopefully it’s not broken, but I’m still gonna be stuck home resting because of it either way.

    Wishing today won’t get any worse…

      Ooh back during COVID times I was in iso as a close contact and managed to stub my toe (right foot, left of pinky toe) so hard into the side of one of the reinforced concrete doors we had at the last joint that I did indeed break it. Broken toes suck in general because there’s not really much to be done for them, just rest, Panadol, and it’ll (probably) fix itself. And since I was in iso (never tested positive though) going to a hospital wasn’t very practical, and getting a home doctor in had such a long wait that I didn’t even bother
