Aldi have these cheese sticks. I eat them every day

So my question of the day is: What are you loving sick lately? Could be anything!

I've been tracking my food and seeing that I'm not eating much fat so I've started using camembert as butter in my egg on toast, and stirring a tea spoon of peanut butter into my porridge. Both of these things have been a solid improvement to each meal.

I used to have a teaspoon of butter with porridge, maybe I should do that again, it tastes delicious

This reminds me of this guy I saw on YouTube Shorts who ate over 20 mandarins in a day. Crazy stuff

I could do that easy honestly. I don’t eat chocolate or sweets.

Just fruit lol

Project Hail Mary on Audible!! Hands down, the best audiobook I've ever listened to. The guy who reads it embodies the character so well, and they even have a voice for the "alien" character. I remember just_kitten talking about it on here (who I think also recommended Severance iirc?), and so when it came to decide on what to listen to, I went in blind.

@just_kitten@aussie.zone, if you're reading this, please drop more recs :)

(I've also been milking the Audible free trial for about six months now by signing up with different emails, please don't tell them hehe)

The Coles brand dark chocolate block I guess? It does have a little dairy added now (don’t think that was there before) but it’s not seemed to cause problems with a few squares. It’s tasty and relatively cheap.

Also Melbcat, all the time 😘
