I did it! It took me a while but by god I did it!
Homemade Monte Carlos. All thanks to you guys in the thread yesterday spurring on my dissatisfaction of bought biscuits. Thanks guys! 🫡
There is a homemade monte carlo shaped hole in my life. Please send help (and monte carlos).
Spectacular!
They look WAY better than the store bought ones!
They look amazing!!!
ooh nicely done!
Impressed. No gaps!
they look really delicious 10/10 would nom right up
That’s not how that works dummy
Cat says it does.
That is how it works when you’re a cat
Before you know it you’ll be reverse mortgaging for a second floor extension and then cat will be asking for help to get down.
I wish my rental had insulation lol
Off to the gym, then get ready for my interview tomorrow. Whilst in bed, nice and warm.
Forgot to mention: woke up in the middle of the night to some great news. Not job related, but still very much welcome.
I have coffee!
Freshly brewed. Profile today is chocolate fudge and raspberry.
Early lunch has been had too so I can relax
Congratulations! to Boyo who has poured half a bottle of pancake mix directly onto the stove top.
Gas, electric or induction? Eeek for a Sunday morning.
Gas. Thankfully hasn’t seemed to get into the vent bits.
Ahhh jesus
Whew! Bullet dodged I guess.
Oh, that’s messy.
Yes….
Nearly better off waiting for it to cook, then peel it off!

2 hour nap turned into 15 hour sleep oh yes
still sleeping a lot too, Seems that having only a few hours of fitful pained sleep for weeks on end wears a person out
Cleaned up and threw out all the vape shit. Chest still sore from that disposable one I bought today.
Hopefully everything’s back to normal tomorrow 🤞🏾
Keep one empty one to use as something to do with your hands when the need strikes. Helps a lot.
yes, all habits are sets of behaviours, keep some of the behaviours and it will be easier
like having decaf or milo instead of coffee after 1 pm 🫠
I just started the washing machine and I get “can I have a shower?”. 😠
IDK cAn YoU?
Of course you can, just expect sudden temp changes.
Small tiles in a bathroom (like subway tiles) might look cute but if you are the one cleaning I’d suggest staying right away from it or else cleaning is going to be a bitch.
Wot dis weather?
Warmed up by a lovely soup with crispy bits of pancetta.
Now the question is, do I just do it and buy last min flights for a quick getaway os…
I would say yes, but then again I’m irresponsible lol.
Where do you want to go?
Did the cheeky and booked. Angkor Wat, here I come!
Who else thinks Sheila could sell her monte carlos down at Vic market? They look that good
I an over 50km away, and hate going into the city. But for them, I would.
High praise indeed! Thankyou!
tiny patches of blue sky out there so I did some more repotting, those pots were still dry under the surface, we didn’t have much rain at all
I had two really vivid dreams bathed in nostalgia and lovely warm vibes… The first I barely remember, except it had a very Harry Potter vibe and an incredibly rich and complex world with all kinds of back stories and secrets. Something about monsters and mazes. I briefly woke up wanting to go back to that world but ran out of plot. The second started out stressful because it was about middle school exams, but turned into this beautiful celebration with classmates with the school all lit up at night and people being lovely to each other. Ahh… 😌
…and now to GET UP AND FACE THE DAY!!! I am going to WALK to the other side of the suburb for a coffee and come back and then start looking at uni things!!!
Fire extinguishers - who knew? 30/50 - quite pleased with myself.
45 woot woot
👍
35/50 but like 3 were guesses
35/50. Unusually high for me, but I will admit there were a couple of lucky guesses in the mix.
25/50
25/50, but I got the fire extinguisher one so I’m happy
A question for those who filter and re-use their cooking oil. I use a filter or paper towel over a pyrex jug to catch the floaties then use a funnel into the empty oil bottle. Is there an easier way? Should I be double filtering? I just use the second hand oil in the frying pan. It’s rice bran oil.
I used to have a a very fine grade steel mesh filter funnel for oil and then use coffee filters to get out the tiny particles like flour
I don’t use enough oil to reuse anymore
I just use paper towel (2-3 layers) in a colander over a bowl. Slowly drips through. Seems to work and not much mess.
This is what I do.
My mum had a fine grade steel mesh filter as well, that sat on top of a metal jug. She’d put a layer of paper towel on top too (she used it to drain freshly fried items). Once it all filtered through she’d reuse the oil in curries. Nowadays she doesn’t fry enough stuff to do this any more. Neither do I.
Though one time I used too much oil when roasting some fennel so I poured the excess oil (infused with dry thyme) off the baking sheet into a glass jar and used it later to fry up onions and garlic and veg for a pasta dish. That was delish.
