    Fucking had it with these gall wasps in the lemon tree. I let it go too far so have been taking the kukri to it (surprisingly very effective). I’d like to call it shaping the tree but in reality it’s wasp genocide.

    Dumpling review:
    Good flavour - these were pork and ginger. Texture was lacking, but I blame my own cooking. I ended up kind of
 Shallow boiling them, draining the water, then putting them pack on with a little butter (I don’t really use oil). Let the remaining moisture evaporate as best it could and stirred em around a bit. Finished with soy sauce and la gan mao chilli crisp. Also had broccolini. They came out quite soft and tacky? Still good though.

      If you intend on feasting on more dumplings in the coming years get a couple of bamboo steamers like Catfish said.

        This is the way. Also, to save the annoying ripping off of the right size of baking paper grab some liners

    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁚7⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      The pork & ginger ones I like to have in soup or on top of ramen. They are softer and tackier than other kinds. I have had trouble fry/steaming them. They do OK steamed only, but are really nice in soup.

    • underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁚7⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      Sometimes I steam the Aldi gyoza in the microwave, which I’m sure isn’t ideal but hey it’s quick and easy. And they’re still good.

    Feeling really bad about buying from Amazon but it’s hard to find some things I need without it

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁚7⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      Don’t feel bad. I love Amazon. For so many decades it was so hard to buy specialist or unusual books in Australia. First we had to find out about a book then order at the local book shop, wait a month or so and then pay a ton on money.

      Then came amazon and they had the most amazing catalogues and everything was available to Australia for the first time and it was cheap and fast.

    Results not back yet. One vet was willing to give Melbcat the stronger pain meds but another has decided against it, so the compromise was giving an extra dose of her existing medication.

    They’re saying it’ll probably be Tuesday so baby girl will be going the weekend without antibiotics and only pain relief. She’s got fussy and peed on stuff tonight so I gave her the last dose of the strong stuff.

    She will no longer eat wet food if it has extra water so maybe I can try some tuna juice or weak allium free broth.

    Ok, after an hour’s lie down I’ve recovered a bit and making myself go in to watch the film. I likely won’t have the opportunity to watch it anywhere else, and it’s good to expand one’s horizons and get out of one’s head. Especially prior to a holed-up weekend of reading and rewriting (as now my proposal is somewhat different)
 Wearing a mask to at least slightly reduce the chance of getting some new shitty infection. Can’t afford that this weekend!

    Movie Review. Kick-Ass.

    Thoughts on an R rating for a movie about violence and force perpetrated and suffered by children.

    In real life children can suffer all the same horrors as adults and too often do. I really do think we should put our effort in protecting children from real life violence rather than fictional violence.

    And maybe fictional violence can help children understand the world around them better.

    I don’t like violence, doesn’t mean it’s good to pretend it doesn’t exist.

    source
    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁚7⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      I enjoy violent movies and video games as long as the context is there. Gore and senseless violence for the sake of it doesn’t work for me.

      Kids know the difference thankfully and are cognisant of real vs fake

      In real life, I can’t stand seeing people get hurt or hurting others.

    Am at the vet with Sammi - poor love has been vomiting on and off since yesterday and hasn’t eaten more than a mouthful at a time.
    Interestingly, she’s been a lot calmer coming up since it was just her so I had her beside me on the passenger seat instead of behind me in the back seat like I normally do when I take both of them.
    She was calmly sitting in her carrier watching the passing traffic until the practice cat came and now she’s sitting up on alert. 😂

    Belated Movie and TV Reviews.

    **The Kingsman movies. **I like these homages to the Bond movies, the sound, the fast editing, the villains, the cold war, the cross the pond alliance, the costuming are all reminiscent of 60s Bond and the most recent Bond.

    And like the Bond movies there is no blood and that bothers me. I know it’s for the M rating but it bugs me. That train scene in Argylle should have been a blood bath. Literally 2 cm of blood on the floor and everything else spattered with blood guts and bone.

    Also has running gags and scenes across all the movies, which is cool.

    3.5 hobbits . -.5 because no blood

    **Rings of Power Review by Charlie Hopkinson. **YouTube. Reminded me how much I hated the fucking Hobbits in RoP, especially Lenny Henry. And what they did to the greatest elf warriors is embarrassing, made them look like accountants.

    here’s Charlie www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj2bn1Rvac8

    4 real Hobbits.

    Taken. Yes, that movie again. Having seen it a few times it’s a really good exercise in seeing all the red flags/arsehole behaviour from lennie and her rich git husband that made the daughter disrespect her dad and make unwise choices.

    The moral is be good parents, ay, teach respect or your kids will suffer for it.

    3.5 hobbits

    **The Union. **netflix. Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry

    Pretty standard spyfi movie , the latest story lines in spyfi seem to of an organisation within an organisation and the old race to find files of names before the bad guys get it.

    But it’s really about people taking risks, pushing limits and achieving potential.

    3 hobbits.

    **Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. **

    Loosely based on real events. Fast paced action , quite enjoyable. Nazis are bad guys.

    3 hobbits

      The first Kingsman movie is actually better than the comic it’s based on. There was this weird period where anything Mark Millar wrote just got adapted into a comic regardless of how good it was. It’s how we got Kick-ass and Wanted, remember that movie?

    Heading to aldi, going to buy some of their dumplings for the first time, amongst other things. Anyone needs anything while I’m there?

    source
    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁚7⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      That’s the way. Put a bit of oil in your frying pan, put the dumplings in, when they get a brown bottom put about 1/3 of a cup of water, turn the heat down to a simmer and put the lid on. When the water has evaporated they should be ready.

      source

    Haven’t seen it since 2018 and remember crying at the end.
