I made the camembert and cherry muffins. The texture is great, but the flavour is a bit incipid. I tasted a bit of the dip first and was underwhelmed by that too, so it is not very surprising. It should be fine for a snack warmed with a bit of butter, or could accompany a soup or stew. 6/10, I’ll eat them, but wouldn’t make them again.

Maybe some really strong lemon curd for acid to oomph them?

The union rally is absolutely massive. I think they are heading to Flagstaff Gardens along La Trobe.

I almost took the lazy route and skipped the free food market this morning, but it turned out to be a good day and I got lots of good vegies. I also got some camembert and cherry dip I’m not sure what to do with. I’m thinking either using as a filling in some pastry, or muffins. I’m leaning towards muffins as pastry is more hassle.

On crackers with wine? I can’t tell if it would be sweet or savoury
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I think it is savoury with a touch of sweetness. Crackers and wine would work, but is probably not the best option to scoff the lot like that myself…
It’s the sweet bit that limits what it goes with. If it was onion or something instead of cherry it could be used for things like a baked potato, with eggs or a much wider range of sandwich fillings. Plus the use by date is today, so I can’t really spread out using it up much.

My father had us imprisoned in our house. We could only leave to either take me to school, or to take my mother to work.
Then he would collect us. Sometimes he would take me to the shops for the weekly shopping. And doctors appointments. Always watched. Always monitored. A prison.
A few years before she passed away, my mother convinced him to let her take me to see her doctor. And he allowed us to leave the house together, just us two.
She would tell me to go and visit my friends, then we would meet back up and return home. As though we had been together the whole day.
Sometimes she’s in my dreams. I love and hate those dreams.

There’s a rally in support of the CFMEU today at 10:30, starting from the Victorian Trades Hall. You don’t have to be a member of the CFMEU or any union to rock up in support (though you should join a union).

A good day for some solidarity.

Everything I’ve read says it starts at 11 at Trades Hall. (I believe AMWU members are separately meeting at their office at 10.30 before moving to Trades Hall for 11.)

I think you might be right? I’m seeing both numbers thrown around, so there’s a bit of confusion I think.
Aradina@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
You were correct it turns out, but also people started showing up at like quarter to ten lol

I mean unions are great… but I’m not sure about supporting CFMEU
Aradina@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
The CFMEU is being ripped apart based on claims that the police never investigated, that never saw a court, and in such a way that suspends the rights of workers within the union. Even if the claims are all true, it’s massive overreach that deals very direct damage to democracy and workers rights in this country.
Other non-CFMEU unions are also turning out in solidarity. This is about all our rights.
