Update on the garlic bread:

It turned out well. Very crispy. Honestly this is my new favourite way to cook them

This back shoulder pain is hurting a lot more tha. I thought. I barely even know what I did to get this.

Taken some nurofen and had put a hot pack on it.

Iโ€™m in quite a bit of discomfort. Hope the nurofen kicks in soon.

Get checked at a physio if it's still bad in a day or so. The Melbourne sports medicine centre has an physio by the name of Simon Nelson.

I swear by this guy. He figured out what was wrong with my neck after other physios were telling me "it's all in your head".

It wasn't. My shoulder was out of alignment.

Did I dream frozen baby green beans because I can't find them for like forever? I don't need my beans cut for me, thanks. Maybe they were stunted ordinary beans and I got sucked in.

I bought a puck light from Reject shop for the kids to play with. I thought they'd all be the same but apparently 'you get what you pay for applies here too'.

The button is already busted and hard to press, and the magnet can barely hold the weight of the light itself. That's the sort of thing I assumed would be the same everywhere

I recently bought a medium size candle from a dollar store, cost $5, it won't burn properly because the wick is too thin for the wide candle. This is a bit of manufacturing cost cutting that is surprising and annoying.

I had a bunch of these from Ikea when the kids were little. Very useful when the kids awoke in the middle of the night. They were strategically placed around the house, I remember one being in the kitchen another in the bathroom. One in their room.

They were <$5, used 3x AAA batteries that lasted ages and had great magnets. If you have a real use for them, I recommend the Ikea ones. Of course, the real challenge with Ikea is actually walking in and out and only buying the $5 you went in there for. I've never managed it.

And all the small vape shops who aren't selling black market vapes to kids get shutdown while chemist fucking warehouse gets the profits.

I am so fucking disappointed in this government.

Following a meal plan as part of a fitness challenge. Spent three hours meal prepping today for the next few days. It's a bit of a headache having to figure out when to cook what, but I really got into a flow state.

Not sure what I'm going to do when uni goes back, but maybe I'll just spend all day on a Sunday cooking and freeze stuff.

Cooking is actually fun (even though I stupidly put garlic in a mega hot pan and it kinda burnt straight away)

So I have garlic bread, but I don't have an oven. Reckon it'll cook up alright in a frying pan?
