Bad bot fell asleep on shift.
Oh dear, a mate in total crisis who lives in Europe is not nice to see. I’m glad they made it through the night is all I’m willing to share. I’ve become one of those people saying no matter how shit something seems, drinking will only make it seem worse tomorrow.
Still it’s been a good day. My skin is nice and soft. I didn’t quite get the walk in. The cats got a good workout chasing toys though and I can still do some bodyweight stuff tonight. The mindfullness movement workshop was great, I got complete mental silence a few times as we did the movements which uplifted me no end. I left feeling pretty euphoric, the gender kind. Any trans and gender diverse people here, if you haven’t gone to any of Transgender Victoria’s free workshops and such, do think about gettting along. It’s freaking beautiful to be among a tribe who are strangers, but instantly see you. They promote them on their insta.
I had two satisfying naps today. I’m legit turning into a cat lady. The crazy part is sure to come along again at some point but not today.
Anyone got breadmaker recs? His Lordship hath discovered if one decomissions an old appliance, one should do so after buying a motherfucking replacement honestly dipshit why did you do that???
Ahem.
We do a lot of pizza dough, some of it quite dense, so looking for one with the kind of paddle you uusually only see at Pride. Or with YAOI branded on it.
I would love a bread machine with a container that’s actually shaped like a bread loaf! All the ones I’ve seen have this weird tall thing so the bread loaf is not shaped right.
In a pinch you just breadmake to the second rise, then shape and plonk in a pan of your own delight and finish off in the oven. Bonus: you don’t get paddle holes
Recently bought the Breville Bakers Dozen model. Haven’t used it or the various options enough to give it a full rec, but so far so good. Although I agree with @the_procrastinata@aussie.zone that I was expecting the tin to be more loaf-shaped than it is.
We’re looking at brevilles since they seem to have avoided the Cheap Chinese Manufacturing of Suck that most reputation brands have long descended into, but there seems to be issues with the collapsible paddles. Bad idea all around
pondering that as well, but I like the option of “MAKE ME BREAD FOR MORNING, PEASANT MACHINE”
I was gonna say you can still do that, but I forgot that I’m the peasant machine getting the slowed proofed dough out of the fridge in the middle of the night so it doesn’t walk all over the bench, and chucking it in the preheated oven at some ungodly hour to get back out of bed 45 minutes later to beautiful fresh sourdough. That’s me. I’m the peasant machine. But it’s sooo gooood. I do have an old bread machine that I now use to make jam in.
The soup I made for diner was very yum. Small dices of onion, carrot, celery, zucchini and corn kernels, fry with generous amount of middle eastern spice mix, bottle of passatta, can of beans and stock. Cook until veg are perfect tenderness and consume with garlic bread. It’s the small dices that make it nice to eat.
We’re about to try gozleme from the local kebab shop that opened a few months back.
Hoping it’s not shit
There’s one kebab place near me that does it but I haven’t visited yet, must try it.
Same. Squeeze on some lemon and I’m in heaven.
There’s a van at Dandy market that does a good one and they get absolutely smashed on the weekends.
leftover-pita-pizza poem
Tired of leftovers? Tired of the bore?
No more bland grub, not any more!
Pita bread is cheap and I’m so poor
Ima drop pasta on pita, pizza amateur
Spread that cheese on yesterday’s dinner
No new food, am I getting thinner?
No matter! Fire it up, cook it nice and even
For a toasty thirteen minutes plus seven
Blast the gas, spark the light,
A fan-forced two-hundy
Slap that pita on that pan,
I’m so hungry!
