Oh I hate that. But it's better to do that U turn and be sure!
I was pulled into a false sense of security by the extra four mins I had in the PH timetable and missed the train đ. At least I get to sit here in the sun
Home made hommus, salad with roasted fennel and ithe bits and some lentil/vege patties. I got a mix for them from the market. Add water and some grated zucchini and fry up. They were really yum.
Nice.
Edit. 100 to 1! At least that means I only need to put a dollar on it
I am at work because I know it will be quiet today and tomorrow and I can actually do stuff. Looking forward to some time in lieu though....
Kitchen, clothes, lounge done, bins done. And I did a lecture for a course I'm doing. And spag Bol just started. Need to do another pass over the floors but I am WFH tomorrow so might call it a day.
Bathroom clean. Bedroom clean. Washing in machine. Plants watered and generally talked to.
Kitchen next so I can get some food prep done. Then floors and a quick straighten of the living room.
Shitty day yesterday. slow start but now I am here. Kitchen looks like a bomb hit it and bits dumped everywhere (geez I can wreck a joint when black dog gets me for a couple of days).
But sun is out and mood is up. Gonna wander to the local for coffee and toastie then back for a clean up.
I am working mon/Tues so this can be my long weekend treat.
Aha! Yes I get it now. Very impressive. That's a lot of work đģ
So what actually is going on here? What's the pipe?
hmm that's weird - works for me (jerboa + web app).
Hope tomorrow brings some grace. Hugs
I'm so glad to hear there was a bit of good stuff in your day. I am grateful I just found out about Hoppin' John - just googled it and I think I might try a batch on the weekend.
I got a $30 mystery veggie box from QVM and am planning my weeks food. Thought I would share here for a bit of fun to see what other suggestions I get. I also have some chuck steak in the freezer and a pretty good pantry.
My ideas so far include
- pumpkin and parsip soup
- maybe grilling those capsicums as a side dish
- mashed potatoes and a hearty stew (onions and carrots)
But I am open to suggestions!
What is your meal planning style? Any good meal planning tips?
I am trying to get better at meal planning because I always start off strong then get bored / run out of food at the end of the week. For while I have been doing a big cook on Sunday but this week I am trying a basic menu and cook as I go. Hoping that having a plan will make it easier.
My plan (one person) is
- red lentil curry + coconut rice (3 serves made today)
- instant pot spag Bol (3 serves made Monday night)
- a beef stir-fry (X 2 serves) made wed night
- quick ramen noodles + stock and frozen veg in between
Ideally I would prep veg today but I have been away and am tired and can't be bothered so will prep as I go.
What other things are people doing?
Agriculture Victoria says it is investigating a number of poultry deaths at an egg farm near Meredith, south of Ballarat.
Fingers crossed its not H5N1.
My old xps13 is old in the tooth and the new ones have some things I don't like. So I am after recommendations. My preferences
- Linux (Ubuntu/Debian friendly). Happy to wipe and install and will check compatibility beforehand but if anyone has a Linux daily driver they love let me know
- good CPU and decent RAM (32gb would be nice)
- Lightweight - smaller preferred (currently on a 13" and happy)
- Touchscreen would be nice
- Usb-c
- Decent battery life
I have access to other machines for heavy GPU stuff that's not as important as CPU and RAM.
Uses:
- Programming/terminal use
- Reading docs and papers
- Watching movies etc
- No gaming
That's my wishlist. What do you suggest, Aussie tech friends?
Anyone have an instant pot? Any foolproof recipes? I just got one (thanks Santa) and wondering where to start.
