Wait until you get a rose thorn stabbing, and end up going to the doc for a penicillin injection. Which they administer with a sharpened hose pipe into your gluteus maximus. Rose thorns do gangrene really really well apparently. Learned my lesson from that experience and now wear gloves when I’m anywhere near roses. Never knew that lemons were particularly hazardous - thanks for the info!
Operative phrase there is ‘american media’.
Mattress is OK, thank the gods. Just sheets, pjs and me and this is all easy to fix. Time for a new hwb I guess.
Hot water bottle just woke me up cos sprang a leak. Only by now it’s a slightly warm water bottle which is a relief. And it’s only on its third year of use. Damn. TGF mattress protector. Would not be fun drying a mattress this time of year.
Does seem that they’re setting themselves up to fail - and each to have enough material to put the blame on the other. Shit show coming up, so I would suggest distancing yourself - you have enough to cope with with your own responsibilities. They need professional help (and sounds like both need a good kick up the backside too).
There’s a reason why airlines stress that you should put on your own oxygen mask BEFORE putting them on your kids.
Happy New Year everyone!
Damfino why anyone actually buys mayonnaise. It’s so damn easy to make and soooo much nicer.
There is a homemade monte carlo shaped hole in my life. Please send help (and monte carlos).
Whew! Bullet dodged I guess.
Gas, electric or induction? Eeek for a Sunday morning.
Chip butty with tomato sauce and tea please.
Fire extinguishers - who knew? 30/50 - quite pleased with myself.
Keep one empty one to use as something to do with your hands when the need strikes. Helps a lot.
Just had a look at the AFL ladder after tonight’s games. There are 6 teams on 32 points. If Hawthorn wins over West Coast tomorrow, they’ll join them for 7 teams. Even though they’ll have a crappy percentage. Next few rounds will be interesting.
Ah, understood. Cherish them.
You need TWO ball peen hammers? Or are they display copies only???
You can’t go wrong with Julia Childs’ recipie - many heaps of vijos on youtoob. This is the old school classic, and takes a fair bit of work and time. The good side is that the raw pastry freezes well, so making a large batch and only using the portion you need for one use, and then for the next use 90% of the work is already done - at least until the stash is used up. Recommend using unsalted cultured butter for the authentic flavor. The original and best.
For quick pastry, I like using the Womens Weekly Rough Puff for savory recipies - so quick and easy and the results taste just fine though the texture is not quite as flaky. Again, one zillion recipies on youtoob. You can play a bit fast and loose with the proportions for this recipie depending on what you have available, so it’s a very user friendly method. The only real secret is using chilled water to mix and resting the dough before rolling out and using. This weather is perfect for pastry - it’s a pain to make in hot weather.
Doesn’t have to be geotextile - an old towel or a sheet folded double will do perfectly well to protect them. Sheets are lighter and don’t squash the plants as much as towels.
