Stockings suck. I gave them all to a mate of mine to practise cricket on the clothes line.

Finished work early and… just didn’t feel like going home straight away. So I’m having a cheeky can of alco ginger beer in a part of a local park not frequented by children and their company or youths (I dislike drinking around children and will actively avoid it). Might have an extra can too. Because fuck it, that’s why!

“Today the children pretended to eat the vegetables and say “yumm!”” You know what daycare, I will give you 500 bucks if that was actually the case! Given i watched tinyest pick out a fleck of zucchini from a casserole and when I asked him if he was gonna eat he he looked me dead in the eyes and said “Nooo”.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 37 minutes ago
Combine zucchini and bacon and you have food of the gods
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
Tbh zucchini is a low tier vegie.
(I planted it because it makes a lot of food.)

You take that back! Zucchinis are one of the most versatile veg out there. And delicious.

Zucchini slice is the best.

I was really lucky, Miss Seagoon was pretty easy, only when older she developed likes and dislikes. No capsicum, no pumpkin and no no onion. I solved it by first, not making any drama at all if she didn’t want something, she could leave it on her plate. And then when older letting her serve herself, that way there were no arguments
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
My kid was the same. Ate every vegetable. Still eats every vegetable except spring onion. From a very early age, around the table, we discussed the benefits of each veg (every veg is a Super food) and the fact vegetables give you good poo poos. Never had to hide them. Never separate meals.
I had a more tough love approach. You don’t have to eat them but you’ll go to bed hungry. Was that bullying? Probably yes. Does my kid have a problem with food? Not in the slightest.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 hours ago
Yep. Feels. Inserting vegetables into small kids is a thankless task. Thank god(s) for meatloaf - and a food processor for pureeing suspicious items into unidentifiable goo. I am eternally grateful that homemade tomato sauce also contains an adequate quantity of vegetables.
Both my boys went through a ‘vegetables are poisonous’ stage, which was mercifully brief but hoo boy it was hard to cope with at the time!
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 hours ago
I think the only reason my kid eats vegetables now is from peer group pressure at childcare, lol. No idea how they got the other kids there to eat them, though
I also became an expert at hiding extra veggies in things like bolognaise sauce

Just want to say thank you all again for the support yesterday. Truly a supportive space here with great advice. After going into the eye and ear today for a follow up her schedule has reduced which means less refusal and it’s going to be a bit easier her.

Big blow. He’s one of the reasons I like it here.
Goddamn it.

Oh damage. Too soon, feels like you’ve just barely started! Any chance you can follow him to where he’s going?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 hours ago
Something odd happened last week.
He reached out to offer some mentoring because he felt that maybe it would help, which I agreed to.
He must have known he was leaving last week already. Curious to see what this will be about.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
interesting development at work. Boss asked some common sense questions, leadership team didn’t really have answers. Looks like things may not be as doom and gloom as we originally though, so thats awesome. I don’t love the company but I do love the boss and they’ll pay to upskill my unqualified ass so thats worth something.

He’s going to discuss with the directors about sidestepping me into another role, I’m not well suited for the one my original role grew into. I’ll see what they offer, but I think it’ll be adios for me.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
Friend said let’s meet at 1. I ask her if she’s sure. She says yes. It’s 1:46 and I’m still waiting for her. I knew I should’ve arrived at 2. She waited a million years for a bus so she didn’t have to walk, when she could’ve walked. Grr.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 hours ago
I had to step away from a friendship yesterday for a similar reason.
It feels bad today, but I’m glad I did it because I don’t want to be the kind of person who with that behaviour.
This person doesn’t value your time and that’s a pretty big red flag.
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
I am a sometimes late person (a trait I don’t really like but actively trying to improve) but being THAT late is insulting. You have to value other people’s time.

She goes to sleep anywhere between 1 and 6am and wakes up maybe 12pm. I asked her if 1 was okay and she said yes. Clearly it wasn’t!
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
Does she wear tight/fashionable/high heeled shoes? Was I wearing such, I’d wait a million years for a bus rather than walk and cripple myself. If, on the other hand, she wears comfy shoes - that’s a different dynamic.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
She’s wearing sneakers right now. Just too “lazy” to walk. I hate calling people lazy but she takes pride in it.
Duenan@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
Did she have the courtesy to say that she’ll be late?
Think it’s a bit rude as well making you wait due to walking/bus thing.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 5 hours ago
Yep she said she was still in bed when I arrived.

Got no argument on the recipie - it’s very similar to the one I use. But. They left a lot out in terms of method. Feel free to ignore this if you already know the details.
too much information
Where it says ‘cover with baking paper’ - it means butter the paper well, put a finger width pleat in that cover paper, then add a similarly pleated sheet of tinfoil on top and tie around just under the rim of the pudding basin with string - there’s a reason pudding basins have a substantial rim. It’s a good idea to make a handle by tying the ends of the string together over the top - this greatly eases removing the pudding from the water later without burned fingies. The pleat prevents the pudding from exploding and covering the kitchen with hot golden syrup. Ask me how I know. No don’t. It’s embarrassing. And I had guests over at the time. Set a timer to check for more boiling water every 15 mins - and ONLY add water that’s freshly boiling from the kettle. I like using a stockpot rather than a saucepan - and use a shallow trivet on the bottom under the basin for better water circulation.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 hours ago
Some very good points there. I can only go on what my Nana used to do and what I remember. Yes, she used a trivet and a stockpot. I think she used brown paper for the top. She also wrapped the pudding bowl in calico (pudding cloth) like you do for boiled pudding because it’s easier to get out of the boiling water. Also I’m sure she added a small amount of ginger powder.

OK. I might do some tv and movie stuff . I just look at random stuff or maybe watch what other people talk about.
The Package aka The Pakige with Gene Hackman. Before Die Hard there was The Package but without the jokes or impressive action scenes. 2 hobbits.
All Is Lost. If self reliance really was a thing then there would no such thing as outside people or events messing up life. Robert Redford was amazing in this.
3.5 hobbits just to watch RR

I am reminded of Henry Miller writing of another author, the author writing of a man cut in slices, different aspects of the man and their life written as separate stories. Much like his nexus trilogy. Maybe he was talking about himself, eh.

So I went to check out this blue sky thing. It turns out I actually created an account on there at some point under my real name. I don’t remember doing that, it had to be before Aussie.zone became a thing.
So I log into it, I’m already following half a dozen accounts that I don’t remember following (but they’re awesome people like George Takai and Mara Wilson).
