The winner with the $50 guess is PeelerSheila! I spent $126.50 over 2 days then didn’t drink booze for the rest of the trip because that’s when I got sick.
Enjoy your celebratory Numbat!
Bin fuckery with neighbour was avoided.
The cheeky fucker swapped his green for recycling last night (saw it when I got home late).
He brought it in right after pick up this morning too (at like 7 am).
I’ll still claim the moral victory.
JFC every goddamn bricks and mortar retailer has been so desperate to start becoming a “marketplace” they’ve made themselves and their websites utterly fucking useless
I just wanted to see if woolies had brulee torches in stock for me to walk down and pick up. Instead I get wall to wall listings for their “market partners” and if you’re gonna pull that bullshit then what the absolute fuck are you for.
So much this. I try to filter out marketplace shit where possible. It’s usually the same junk sold at kogan, catch, mydeal etc.
I have a long, slow cooking day planned today in preparation for a Mexican dinner tomorrow night. I am making carnitas, which is basically pork slow cooked in fat. It will be served in soft tacos, so I will be making an oven-roasted salsa today, then making tortillas and some other accompaniments tomorrow. I am also going to make desserts today - caramel flan, which is similar to a creme caramel, but made with condensed and evaporated milks. I’m taking it all to my sister’s house, so it should work well to be able to heat and serve with minimal fuss and mess there while still being a bit fancy.
oh god, mexican caramel flan is divine. If it’s on the menu always get it. Tres leches cake is also nice. Carnitas are also good. ( mexican food is soooo good )
Tres leches cake was second on the short list. I have not actually had the flan or carnitas before, although I have had similar. Having grown up with “Old El Paso” being the first and only option for ‘Mexican food’ I am working on slowly increasing my repertoire of from-scratch real Mexican/Latin American recipes.
Aaand home. Banger of a day outside but for now I think I’ll just lay down for a bit.
