I loooove my robot vac. His name is Barnaby, as he makes binary decisions and always turns to the right. I don’t yet have googly eyes on him, but that is coming someday. He doesn’t deal well with getting stuck in corners, so has to be rescued when this happens. I don’t count this a fault or a problem.

The recipies are simple, reliable, made with easily available ingredients. The method is also explained in all relevant details, with a video too. Basically, Nagi makes delicious food and explains how to make it well at home.

Should work. Lining the sides and base with baking paper might be a good idea. Certainly the quiche tin will need to be greased well with butter. Lining will even out the heat transfer as well as making the pie easier to remove when done. Be generous with the height of the pastry, as the different shape may affect how the filling cooks.

A hearty beef stew with flat buttered noodles and some broccolini on the side please Bacon. With a glass of fruity red - a tempranillo would be ideal.

A proper creme brulee is yum! The toffee-like stuff on top contrasts so nicely with the creaminess of the actual dessert. Hope they put some fruit with it for extra tang. The supermarket tubs are just yuk imo. Nothing like crunchy enough.

Feels. I don’t mind lactose free cow milk - nearly indistinguishable imo. I just can’t stand the posturing over plant based mulks by the terminally inane. A genuine reason to use plant based is fine - it’s the posers that make my blood boil.

Second this. I can do coconut as desiccated or flaked - churned into mulk is so not my thing. And I avoid soy, almond and oat milk unless dining with vegans (which rarely happens). Gimme honest cow juice - full fat for preference. And my cholesterol is considerably below the average for my age so the Purity Police can just shove it up their jumper. This does not include the genuinely lactose intolerant of course. But there are so damn many people out there doing I’m A Special Little Petal that the red mist comes down over my eyes with very little warning.

This is true courage. We drove past Eastland yesterday on our way down to the Peninsula - have you ever seen boiling water poured on an ants’ nest?

The deli in Richmond Traders - the one near the doors out to Church Street. Exxy but looks verra verra nice. They also had marinated sardine fillets, so I grabbed some of those too. Strickly for my own consumption.

Making phone calls would be even more of a nightmare I reckon. More possible consequences and a pretty long tail of them.

It’s family xmas day for me - and the longest day of the year. For a number of reasons. One good thing is the venue is Somers on Westernport Bay, where my brother has a house. It’s been my family’s go to spot for holidays since about 1966 and while it’s changed a lot I still love it there.
Taking a hot-smoked trout with cajun spices for my contribution to the feast, and some toum. - Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎊🥳🎉 Friday, 20 December, 2024 4 days ago:

This reminds me of a story I was told about an Irishman whose nickname was Spiderman. From the way he walked home from the pub. So Spiderkitten?

Some fizzics for you. Open a small window on the upwind side. Open a much bigger window/door on the downwind side. The air exchange will be a LOT faster due to the Venturi effect. That is, creates a more powerful draft.

Second this - toum is the BEST garlic dip/sauce/concentrated essence of yum. And so bloody easy to do. And keeps for a month in the fridge so its worth it to make a shittonne of the stuff.

Outside the Pullman hotel opposite Jolimont station is a bronze rabbit and a bronze mad hatter - ripe for the picking imo.

Throw some tea bags into the harbour - you just might start a revolution. On second thoughts, that didn’t end well (as of last election).

They do indeed. So do Australians - check out colesworth. The original ‘mince pie’ would have had beef or pork mince in it. It was a protein/sugar/vitamin blast reserved for celebrating the 12 days of Christmas (which go from Christmas Eve to 6th January) before the peasants went back to eating pottage only until Easter. Its a small pie that can be made in quantity and handed out to all an sundry to celebrate the holy season. Which was a thin Christian layer over a much older tradition of celebrating the darkest coldest time of the year with fire and good food and good company.

27 deg inside my house (just got home for my last early finish day before xmas). Loving the coolth. Haven’t checked the thermometer in the back courtyard but I reckon that’s gone 40 easy as it’s a sun trap. There was a few drops of rain as I was getting off the tram.
