Has anyone got a nice simple puff pastry recipe they use and can recommend? I made homemade sausage rolls today and my filling was delicious, but Iâm annoyed at the bought pastry I used. It was awful! Iâve tried every brand of readily available bought puff and itâs all awful, Iâm over it.

You canât go wrong with Julia Childsâ recipie - many heaps of vijos on youtoob. This is the old school classic, and takes a fair bit of work and time. The good side is that the raw pastry freezes well, so making a large batch and only using the portion you need for one use, and then for the next use 90% of the work is already done - at least until the stash is used up. Recommend using unsalted cultured butter for the authentic flavor. The original and best.
For quick pastry, I like using the Womens Weekly Rough Puff for savory recipies - so quick and easy and the results taste just fine though the texture is not quite as flaky. Again, one zillion recipies on youtoob. You can play a bit fast and loose with the proportions for this recipie depending on what you have available, so itâs a very user friendly method. The only real secret is using chilled water to mix and resting the dough before rolling out and using. This weather is perfect for pastry - itâs a pain to make in hot weather.

Had a productive day: caught up with the real estate agents who sold me this place and checked out a place that had been suggested but came onto the market too late to suit. (This one is definitely better.) Then started tackling the boxes of kitchen stuff that are still unpacked as well as reorganising the kitchen. Then felt like a break and a bahn mi so I got that via another OFI in the block of units where I made my first offer and got pipped at the post. And had no trouble walking at a medium pace three times for about 15 minutes, so yay!

Just had a look at the AFL ladder after tonightâs games. There are 6 teams on 32 points. If Hawthorn wins over West Coast tomorrow, theyâll join them for 7 teams. Even though theyâll have a crappy percentage. Next few rounds will be interesting.

Apart from Sydney being well clear itâs a logjam down below and itâs been a rather strange season as well with teams dropping off badly and some teams coming back from nowhere like Hawthorn.
Going to make the next few wins or losses very important for those teams.

@Duenan @Thornburywitch Hawthorn is currently on 7 wins, with games still to come against West Coast, North, Adelaide, and Richmond.
On recent form, percentage aside, I could definitely see them ending up in the finals...

I have to somehow return a rice cooker without the original box, via mail.

Post office usually has a range of cardboard boxes for the purpose - bound to be one of an appropriate size. Or hit your local IGA for a cardboard box.

lurv recaptcha. Does anyone in the tropics wear shoes when riding a motorcycle and I keep singing âI like traffic lightsâ by monty python www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbRyH6fkee0
SituationCake@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Why is it always motorbikes or traffic lights? Occasionally busses. Surely there are other suitable subjects?
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Maybe because they sell the results to auto driving car databases?

Because my nameâs not Bamber âŚ

Free Knafeh in the Foots apparently, get your sticky on!

For all we know a City of Melbourne employee installed a free trial 10 years ago using their work email. That tends to be how these logo showcases work.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
I think thatâs how Slack and Atlassian got so many logos for their websites. Look through the free tier for recognisable brands and download the press kit
Baku@aussie.zone â¨11⊠â¨months⊠ago
Probably. But Ninite pro seems to manage automatically updating programs, so perhaps they do actually use it on some internal system

That reminds me. I saw the other day you were saying your PC isnât that great. Iâve got a spare i7 board and CPU you can have. Can send it to you via mail if you want it.
Itâs pretty much gathering dust. Not too old either. I just canât remember the exact model of CPU.
Iâm an AMD guy now lol
