Did you know that there's nearly 40g of sugar in 100g of sticky date pudding? You're welcome.

My dinner
Image of an oval plate with a serving of fried rice and sauteed mushrooms in a Vegemite jus.

It was delicious. I even Julie Andrewed the carrots which I never do. Usually I go bugger it they're getting grated.

Oh yum. What is there special flavour with that rice since it’s a different colour?

You’re making me hungry now!

I'm going to start a new series of depressing collapse worthy news posts. The idea is to bring attention to why we're all fucked in the short, med. and long term.

Today's news is the cocoa price:

Technical analysis:

As you can see cocoa prices are on the rise and it's time to stock up on chocolate and not break up with anyone unless it's a double / triple choc top then dump them and short cocoa.

The price has been worse in the past. At about the time that easter egg choc went to hell in a handbasket. I predict further decreases in quality.

Imma let you finish but Proud Mary's Humbler is the best coffee blend of all time. OF ALL TIME!!! Managed to get some to use on the espresso machine for the first time and gawd it was like heaven.

I've been really stuck on dinner ideas lately, need to watch some cooking shows to get my creativity game up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Dinner is easy.. first you make some toast, or toast some english muffins if you're fancy, then you heat up the baked beans in the microwave. Then you simply pour the baked beans over the toast/muffins. Done! Make your meal international by adding a dab of hot sauce to take your tastebuds on a spicy Mexican adventure.

Not sure why you'd ever need any other ideas.

Pretty much whatever leftovers you have - make pizza dough and dump said leftovers on the pizza 👌

Hump day! Half there and then it's the weekend again.

Must start food planning. There will be herring involved so far on my list.

Actually hoping there might be some sun this weekend, it's always nice to wake up to a bright sunny day given that I felt like I haven't seen too many of them lately I feel.

Just got a full refund on something I disputed via PayPal, with no request for the return of the item in question. I guess it's mine to deal with now? Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Slight increase in hassle, but also the chance to sell and get some benefit from the hassle. So I guess that counts as a win.

Quote for reverse cycle air conditioning has been done. Mr Woof was very sus and had to be locked in the bedroom for bad behaviour. I was pretty happy with it though, and the quote was pretty much spot on what the online searches I have done indicated is average, so I'm tempted to just go with it.

The other place I tried to get a quote from I had to leave a message, and when they got back to me they left a message without their number. I got another missed call at about the same time, so if I try ringing back I have a 50% chance of picking the right number, and 50% chance of calling back some spoofed spammer number. Not a great impression.

Anyone else wake up with random Simpson quotes in their head on the regular? Todays the Love-Matic Grandpa.
