Going to try to change our grocery habits so we use the small local stores more than the corporate stores.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

It's saturday here and I'm working from home. Got me a russian roll and chippies (or french fries). Yum.

I just made the Saturday post! It's 5:30 here. What is a Russian roll?

A Russian Sausage is a South African imitation of the Polish Kielbasa that was adapted by early European immigrants in South Africa. So a Russian Roll is pretty much a Hot Dog Roll but with a Russian Sausage instead

Happy Friday! Today I'm having fun making mixtapes with the reel to reel deck I found at the thrift shop recently. Amazing how good it sounds for a 50+ year old machine and tapes. I just love how mechanical and analogue it is.

I got pasta :3. And cake. The cake is made from biscuits which is cool ^^

I had to watch a documentary last night. It was a bit slow, so I started playing with the play-doh kit. I particularly like the second one.
