I usually have veggies with dinner - snow peas, beans, 1 or 2 types of capsicum and zucchini. Sometimes carrot if I can be bothered peeling, sometimes mushies

How did my package go from NSW to Launceston to the Ausport Depot 5 minutes from home in Tassie to Adelaide and now in Melbourne?

Cold certainly ain’t an issue.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Tuesday 18 February 2025 ☕️ 4 days ago:
That would be the only issue. If something happens, there wouldn’t be anyone else to be able to get her. I’d (hopefully) be teaching in the area.

I haven’t been to Ballarat in many many years. What’s it like now?
It seems so much bigger and I think it has a lot of what I need in terms of moving back to Melbourne (well Victoria) and housing prices is within my budget. It also has gymnastics and other things my little one would want to continue doing so it definitely sounds appealing on paper.

I have floured the board and hands previously, but my work area isn’t the best and I need a bigger board too (and one that doesn’t move). Thanks!
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Monday, 17 February 2025 4 days ago:
Thanks! I’ll take a look. Might save me a headache.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Monday, 17 February 2025 4 days ago:
I have tried flour to the hands, and it does seem to improve it a bit. But the rest of what you said I haven’t. I will give it a go. Thanks :)

Thanks. I’m going to try make a pizza from scratch next weekend to put in the smoker so trying to figure out ways to avoid the sticky problem. I’ll see if I can grab a dough scraper as well :)

I have a question for our bakers and chefs and general kitchen superstars - whenever I try to make something doughy - like pretzels or scones - the mix is always way too sticky. I follow the advice on the ingredients, but yeah, too sticky so I end up essentially eating half the mix off my fingertips.
Any suggestions on how to combat this? Is it simply needing to add more flour?

My not pet peeve today is little ones mum has (essentially) given the all good for little one to move to Melbourne with me so that is one gigantic hurdle cleared.
Things may change and we will discuss it more in depth later on, but for now it means I can move ahead with preliminary plans. It’s a relief.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🍝🍟🌭 Friday, 17 January, 2025 5 weeks ago:
My irrational pet peeve today is seeing these cooking videos on social media where the people are just so aggressively doing things. Jerking oven doors open. Very deliberate and slow deep cutting of meat. Throwing seasoning on food.
Saltbae would be rolling in his grave.

Had a great time in Melbourne. The Jurassic World exhibition was a lot of fun. Took little one into the city and the National Art Gallery which she enjoyed.
But more importantly, Slurpees were a hit and she is more convinced than ever to move back to Melbourne.

One night back in Melbourne and sleeping in an oven has me reconsidering moving back here. Dear lord…

Has anyone been to the Jurassic World Exhibition in Brunswick? Is it any good? Thinking of taking my daughter there tomorrow or Friday.

then again, they still had mine
That’s the killer part, isn’t it. Nothing stops them from reaching out, but they don’t.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: ⛔🚫🛑 Friday, 27 December, 2024 1 month ago:
That is a way of looking at it. If they cant communicate straight away, it wouldn’t be much better down the track I imagine.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: ⛔🚫🛑 Friday, 27 December, 2024 1 month ago:
things start to hurt less.
Just don’t let it be because you are numb or becoming callous or uncaring. That is a hard road to come back from.

I definitely do not recommend them. It is exhausting and not good for your mental health.

Bit of a rant:
It appears I created a cardinal sin for dating apps (aside from joining them).
Monday morning I sent a recent match on messenger (and she requested my info) a silly Dad joke and hope you have a good day.
She laughed. Said thanks. Hope you do too.
That night I asked how her day was.
No response.
Alright. Maybe busy or something. Left it at that.
Then Christmas Morning I said Merry Christmas. Hope you have a great day.
No response.
I’ve not said anything since. Not bothering (though still facebook friends, go figure).
Social conventions confuse me. I figure she’s found someone else/better.
But I think 2025 is going to be the year of no apps. Just a focus on my goals. So ladies, you got 4 days to friendzone or ghost me before the chance is gone lol :D

I totally get that. It’s hard to make time for the things we love to do.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🥥🍦🥛Monday, 23 December, 2024 1 month ago:
That’s so awesome. Good luck with it. I hope you do take the plunge and do more.

Work is slow today (yay), I’ve done most of my 200 pages of textbook reading (boo) so now I’m making a list (of things to do to the house to prepare to sell to move back home) and checking it twice.
