How did this turn out? I feel like I'd burn the fuck outta the chillies before the sausage roll would even be warm because I wouldn't be able to help myself.
It actually worked well lol. Idea was to do the sausage roll in the oven normally, then give it a once over with the torch.
This thing has honestly been more useful on food than weeds heh.
I look forward to your daily cooking post!
Now do a creme brulee ๐ฎ
lol i'm so terrible at desserts but now you have me thinking.
Goodnight all, from the treat servant and his goblin โค๏ธ
goodnight , sweet dreams
I just received my final electricity bill for the old house. Due to a combination of set monthly payments and the govt. contributions I am well ahead on my payments so will be getting nearly $300 returned to me. ๐
Edit: I've also just realised I got the govt. relief payment twice. It's paid per household not per person, and I had power on at both properties with an overlap of about a month. The timing was just right for me to get the payment for both. I thought I'd lost money by being lazy/distracted and not cancelling the power at the old place earlier, turns out it was a good thing!
I'm reading The Luminaries at the moment and it's the sort of mystery story I like.
It reminds me of Raymond Chandler because you're also trying to figure out what the mystery is. It's not a simple case of 'someone died, who did it?' It's a much more complex case of 'what the fuck is happening?'
Also, it's set in New Zealand during a 19th century good rush so that's somewhere different for a story.
Interesting. Will give that a go.
Audiobook review. Chocky by John Wyndham. An alien makes esp contact with a 12 yr old boy so that it can teach him about the world, the universe and to help humanity.
I'm listening to a lot of 60s science fiction, it seems a bit more creative, less character based, more tech based, than a lot of newer fiction
this book was subtle, I will have to think about it some more
I do like how the message is overwhelmingly positive, humans can do positive things to improve their lives and improve the world. Humans are also co-operative, working together to figure things out.
That takes me back. Read it many many years ago as a teenager. I think you're right about sf being more tech based then. Still can't beat Asimov's robot trilogy for a close (if dated) look at human/tech interactions and the moral dimensions thereof.
Edit: also Alexei Panshin's Rite of Passage - which can horrify but does a rip snorting good job of examining the morality of a closed society. Re-read this recently and it stands the test of time.
These are rereads for me too.
Rite of Passage is now on my list ๐
Anything by Phillip K Dick. I've read his bibliography. Very talented and eccentric writer.
I remember that book!
After reading this thread today, I realised that I haven't had fish and chips or pizza in ages. I already said next weekend was souva though.
bff update
A few days ago, I asked why people ask how people's days are going and not talk about stuff relevant to common interests.
Ironically, the conversation with the person on BFF who asked me how my day is going has turned into paragraphs, and the conversations with people who I've asked about their specific interests have died a bit.
But I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't know if I'll end up meeting up with any of these people, but I will feel a bit bad if I don't end up meeting the person who is sending paragraphs and asking me questions. He normally works night shift and doesn't have much luck with being social. However, I am doing group hangouts only for safety reasons so got to get some other people on board.
I'm not sure I agree with all those glowing reviews of Superman... 2/5 - recommend seeing on cheap tickets night
NSFW potatoes.

That's only a sample. Other potatoes are a bit shocked

It's called 'the witching hour' because witches are up at this hour. What they don't tell you is that the witches aren't up brewing potions or cleansing their crystals with the light of a gibbous moon; they're up because their cats have the 3am post-poop zoomies and are causing havoc in the pantry.

Bleah, back to being cranky pants again today. Feeling bristly when people ask the prerequisite "what did you get up to on the weekend" and I don't have anything exciting to say like a fishing trip or running a marathon or whatever so they tune out anyway. I know it's a nicety but like I wish they round just skip the question, neither of us enjoy it at this point. And I don't actually want to hear about what most of my colleagues have gotten up to because it's not in my wheelhouse anyway and i can only feign interest for so long.
Ordinarily I'd just bury myself in work but we've run out of stuff to do and the only stuff left is some very very tedious document updating which I've already spent a lot of time on and I'm dying of boredom send help. Almost tempted to start chucking sickies...
It's the same with "how are you"? and the expectant answer always being "Good". It's rare that someone is genuinely interested, it's just the social norm. (FWIW, I'm always down to listen until you use me as a trauma dump and ignore me when I need an ear grumble grumble about askholes)

My last job, mandatory Monday morning in-office meetings when the first 10 minutes was wasted hearing about everyone's weekends and having to explain what I did for my weekend. It was a truly horrible way to start each week.

I vote that everyone gets a potato cake today at some point.
And no this isn't a democracy.

Low-key excited for my trial meeting tomorrow for a CPAP machine. Renting one for a month with the option to trial different masks and with help to track how it's going. I just want to wake up feeling like I've slept ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป
I've heard they work so I hope they give you the refreshing sleep you're after
Good luck with it, would be so good if it helped you out!

So I start a new job on 28 July. Having a break in between doing house related stuff. Official last day from my previous job was 11 July. Still no email, text, phone call regarding handing back all my IT stuff, still have access to everything....
I've had that happen before. I was logged in to my emails in one job and could still get in months later.
I've also had two jobs where they never collected the laptop. Flash whatever OS you want on a usb drive and the thing is as good as yours.
Long story but I have a band audition next weekend.
A silver lining to what was an absolutely fuck wit of a day.

Pizzas on sale today... pants have been feeling tight recently... but pizza... after the day that was... pizza. At least it is economical enough to last for 3 meals. Then I might watch something. Red Rooms has been on my list after it was mentioned in the DT
E: gotta love Quebecois French and how they randomly drop in English words with a totally North American accent.
