Vanilla slice, lamington, pavlova, hedgehog slice, jelly slice? Which Aussie treat would you pick?
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Depends who’s making it! The kitchen manager at work occasionally brings in a jelly slice and it’s just magnificent. I don’t know what she does but it’s divine. No lamingtons have ever topped the size and freshness of the ones I used to get in primary school on their annual fundraising lamington drive. I adore hedgehog, but there are too many dry lacklustre examples out there, and I’ve been frequently disappointed. As for pav, a perfect pav is food of the gods but again, so many meh ones out there. And vanilla slice is frequently an abomination, but a really good one is just… Hey can you guys just hang on a sec? Inches towards front door I’ll, um, I’ll be back in a minute, I’ve just got to, um, put petrol in the car dashes out door without car keys
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 months ago
did you know timtams are a pale australian copy of the original French patisserie small biscuit cake
iow, they are all delicious if made well with good ingredients
but I think pavs are most likely to be delicious, pretty hard to ruin fresh cream and fruit
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I don’t know who’s making them but i can assure you all desserts will be tested by me. And they’re all👌
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Vanilla slice if I had to pick. Prefer the European versions of it though.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Both vanilla slice and lamington. Why limit yourself to one. But lamington must have jam.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Seriously considering making lamingtons this weekend.
Duenan@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Probably jelly slice but I’m not sure what it is as I haven’t seen one.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Ok. Let me explain. It has a biscuit base like a cheese cake. The middle is like a panna cotta (like a really really weak custard made with condensed milk) and jelly on top. When it’s done really well, it beats all the rest because it’s not sickly sweet.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Jelly slice. Haven’t seen one of those for aaaages. They’re yum too.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Yes, yes, yes.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Mint slice
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Ok I’ll have to add this now.
Eagle@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Lemon slice, then jelly slice a close second and vanilla third.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 months ago
If made by my ex-housmate’s partner - hedgehog
In the wild (and this might be influenced by the fact I have not had a good one since having to be GF) vanilla slice
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I’ve never made a pav because my mum makes good ones.
If you go to a Gotham Doughnuts they do an awesome V which is a donut cross Vanilla slice in GF. I’m not responsible if you choose other GF delicacies.
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 4 months ago
No lemon slice?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Shit. I’ll add it to the list.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Pavlova. I don’t really like the others and detest lamingtons. No, I guess I’ll never get my Australian citizenship…
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Oh hun. You have hurt me deep.
Pilk@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Pavlova in a heartbeat.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Hedgehawg
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 months ago
pav
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
What’s your preferred topping?
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Vanilla slice by a considerable margin
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Can I say fairy bread? Or chocolate ripple cake?
But if I had to pick, probably hedgehog or pavlova. I’ve never had a jelly slice before!
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Vanilla slice 4 lyfe
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 months ago
You can but I was thinking more bakery goodies but this is a game of pretend so why not.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 months ago
I feel terrible. I took melatonin last night so I could survive the 6am wakeup. I woke around 2:30 after having some weird dreams, like bumping into people this girl my ex studied with, and she congratulated me for breaking up with him and then basically told me about his new relationship? Lucky for him I guess, it was easy to move on. Then I parked my car at her rental property, which was empty, and she insisted on leaving the car keys outside the car despite having lots of theft in the area. I insisted on holding the keys. My car ended up getting broken into, and half a window was hanging out, but I drove home on some mysterious road that somehow connected to a freeway near my house.
I couldn’t sleep until 2 hours later. I don’t know how I’m going to survive a real job, but maybe the consistency of waking up early will help. No more melatonin.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Personally I find melatonin is better for making yourself fall asleep earlier on time, rather than fall asleep when it’s too late. So for example if you want to start falling asleep at 8pm and you don’t feel remotely sleepy that’s when you take the melatonin. Better for correcting sleep phases than actually helping you sleep like a sedative. Bad side effects are feeling like crap in the morning and weird dreams… btw I think your dream could be interpreted quite creatively as an allegory about trust and boundaries.
As someone who has been notoriously bad at waking up early and never been a morning person I will say that having a regular job that gets you out of the house will eventually help get you used to it. Money is a great motivator.

Erk. Monday forecast has upped to 42 deg. Cool change in late evening.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Can I add Neneh Cherry and PJ Harvey to your lock list?
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 months ago
Yassss! How could I forget those two! 🖤
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 months ago
😊❤️ I love this one, www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zB0UzHGo4s
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 months ago
That’s one of my favourite albums of all time too
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 months ago
LOL, this has triggered something. 😂

So Severance aside I started watching this TV show called The Pitt, which is kind of like prestige/HBO ER in the modern day, …
no spoilers just comments
… Yes, some of the writing is a bit trite and the format is possibly better watched in one shot rather than weekly (each hour tracks an actual hour in the day of the ER. It’s really easy to forget what’s going on amidst all the medical lingo). But a lot of the interactions around the seemingly simpler cases are so fascinating. Really tight character work and great acting developing the ensemble cast while keeping some things a mystery to find out later. And then there’s the real heartbreaking tearjerkers - the sibling pair with the elderly dad is absolutely wrecking me, especially this last episode 😭 I keep thinking what those conversations would be like when it’s my mum’s time to go and I am overcome with grief that it would be so much colder, and harder to forgive her for so much, and without the strong sibling bond…
I dunno if I can wait till the end of the season to watch all the rest at once even though that’s how I’d prefer to enjoy it. I guess I’ll think of it as my weekly Emotional Release Show.
Alright, time to have a break and then get into the mind bending world of Lumon

S2 is insane. Even if this series has taken liberties, how is an immature American reporter banging a Yakuza mistress like they’re both teenagers?
