Can I please get two hardboiled eggs -- but make it so instead of egg inside the shell it's actually a surprise food that somehow ended up in there
I've actually made this! Two colours of marzipan to make a fake egg. Medieval thing, fun but a serious pain to do.

Probably time to go to bed
same ,
just need a few more hours
I've been up since 4.30
Awake since about 12. Gave up at 3, it will be a day
Compulsory date based post for wrong hemisphere
Pinch punch first day of the month! Slip slap can't do it back!
Sky pretty, and I'm pretty annoyed that I'm awake to see it.
Very pretty. I was not annoyed because I and awake but it's a holiday!!! Wootwoot no work til Tuesday ๐๐ป
Went for a small walk around the block, and passed the tradies building new apartments around the corner. Got a "good day miss" and hard hats being tipped in my direction :3 no cat calls or sexual remarks, just good wholesome flirts lol. Lovely bunch of men, feeling quite chuffed lol
Chuffed my partner too, he's just like "hehehe I'm dating a hottie" ๐
Kinda needed the mood boost, I've been so desperately depressed lately
Better than what I get. Just coinslots, yelling, eye of the tiger on repeat and angle grinding rebar at 7am.
Soz but your partner is dating such a hottie, I mean, have you seen yourself?!
As soon as little dog opened his peepers I ripped his blankets away for a wash. Poor thing is outside sunbaking, doesn't realise he will also get a wash. Stinky little bastard.
Heading down the beach for another breather.
Got ol' girl from 42kg to 45 after that silly japan trip hunger strike. Moving away (at least slowly) from intervention for now. That was close though. Still one emergency away from a serious problem.
I've had to lie about what I'm putting in to food (basically doubling down on protein / ensure). When you say what you've done down the sink... Don't say anything.. "oh this is the best one yet". Mind boggles.
I've given up with gentle suggestion doesn't work too frustrating.
Was blamed last night for that weight loss, half a world away. That can get in the fkn bin.
So heading down, gonna start the chilli ferment which I'll bring some to the next DT gathering (if I'm invited, that vodka doesn't drink itself).
one time when my MIL complained about my cooking saying she couldn't eat it I got up, made a quick omelette then took her dinner away out of her hands, gave her the omelette
she was shocked and annoyed, annoyed I took her fun away
The more i learn about MILs the more I'm happy about not having one lol.
the MIL is not the problem ๐คจ it's the people who never stand up to her and stand up for others
and bad ones are rare , most people are good and kind
Youโre doing so well dude. Itโs a shame the Kalteen bars from Mean Girls arenโt real.
I just thought of finding soft easy to chew protein bars (if they exist) and giving them to her as if they were biscuits or mini slices. Caloriemate biscuits are kind of hard and were very similar to normal shortbread but maybe if she dunked them. Adding peanut butter and mayonnaise to things are game changers. Maybe a dollop of cream to garnish the soup, a squirt of whipped cream or spray cheese on top of whatever else.
Also an antidepressant might stimulate her appetite and help her hold onto her weight without it being so hard on you. If she can be convinced to take it or it can go in her coffee drink. (Unethical I know)
Take care of yourself too and take breaks. The effort must be monumental.

I'm sorry what by who and where are we throwing hands?!

My fruit and veg box this month has pomegranites! Now I just have to figure out what to do with them...
I make loaded hummus with them. She doesn't include them here but in her book she does. Absolutely delicious.

Salad toppers, dessert toppers, or preserve the juice with citric acid and sugar to make your own grenadine. Use juice to flavour fish or chicken after cooking. Add juice to cake icing for pink colour and nice tangy taste. Juice makes VERY nice turkish delight. 1001 household uses. See YT for how to peel. I use the hexagon method and it works very well with little wastage.
delicious as part of a marinade for roast chicken
keep a few aside to sprinkle on top of the rice
Try some on a pizza
just listening to some Hamlet while I do some hand sewing
those poor children ๐
I need this weekend so, so much

Who else is drinking beer in the nude?
Cheers ๐บ
Well I won't be in the nude... But you know what, in your honor I'll strip for my first sip ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ฆต๐ช๐คณ
Thankfully no toilet or gym equipment in that selfie
I've heard they get a tad upset on a cruise ship if you wander up to the bar nude, so I'm playing it safe. Cheersin' you all the same!
That would be one way to get sent home from work.
I'm hungry. Do I get something out of the freezer or do I fish n chups? Or possibly pizza. Am all out of fux rn.
pizza, enough for brekkie and lunch too
curry laksa for dinner
I'm pretty tired tho so it better do for the next two nights
I'm a little bit of the world away but still want you all to know that I adore you for exactly who you are and what you bring to not just the world but also this lovely space. Yay!!
Love you too and all the DTers. ๐
I've made some plans to deal with my oversupply of tomatoes. I'll make some bruchetta mix with the ripe tomatoes and a salsa verde with the green tomatoes. I've made the bruchetta mix before, it's basically tomatoes pickled in wine & vinegar, it also works well with toast & eggs for breakfast, and mixes nicely with mushrooms too.
good night everyone, sweet dreams ๐
