Popcorn has 94kcal per serving.
Each bag has 10 servings.
I did not eat 1 serving.
Calories are to maintain your body and allow you to live life. Youโre doing a good job at living
snack a whole meal's worth of calories
Popcorn is good. Popcorn is life.
Yehhh once that bags open they're all getting eaten. No question.
Consider an air popper if you want lower calorie popcorn. Plus you can make it from a small scoop of popcorn, rather than committing to a whole bag.
Don't even need an air popper, paper bag and plain kernels in a microwave works fine
Even better. I saw three air poppers in the opshop yesterday.
I got one of those silicon thingies 'cos i was sick of paper bag use, it's awesome. Kernels in de bowl, bowl in de microwave, pop pop pop, bowl in my lap, popcorn in my mouth. Herfdenerf.
You have such an amazing way with words! ๐

How good is leftover pizza in the air fryer for breakfast?
So good.
I do mine in the sandwich press l, but air fryer is a great option.
Doesn't the cheese stick to the sandwich press? Teach me your ways. I wouldn't mind having the rest of the pizza for lunch tomorrow and there is a sandwich press available at uni...
Generally don't have the issue with sticking honestly.
A dab of oil on the top plate could reduce sticking and crisp up the top.
Wrap it in baking paper then foil. Nobody's leftovers don't touch your pizza then.
I make a pizza sandwich if I'm using a sandwich press.
Left over pizza is the bomb
Unpopular Opinion: I prefer cold pizza the next day to fresh or reheated pizza. It's one of my main motivators to only eat half a pizza so the other half goes in the fridge.
Cold pizza is the best munchie food.
Great for hangovers too.
Yeh nah. I used to feel that way but then I realised it was just my lazy self trying to get out of making an effort to warm it up
Unpopular opinion indeed ๐ญ Cold, chewy pizza just makes my stomach turn. It is the food of desperation. I'd rather have a cheese toastie. Even a microwaved slice that's eaten in 30 seconds before the texture goes all funny
I normally just buy one pizza and eat it that night, or maybe eat 70% and put the rest in the fridge for breakfast or lunch. I can't really eat pizza too many days in a week. But on Monday there was a great deal - either one large pizza for $15 or two for $25, and I went for two precisely because then a few extra meals would be sorted during the week. I wouldn't do this regularly though.
Happy International Sushi Day
Oooh, thanks for the heads up, know what I'm getting for lunch now!
I asked for an extension from the real estate agent
On the twice-yearly inspection, ridiculously invasive
They graciously gave me another week to prepare
Though I think the concept is entirely unfair.
the REA charge the landlords
it's a complete rip off

Im craving Friday so I can assemble my new drum kit.
I feel a little bit drained today, I hope I'm not coming down with something.
I've been constantly thinking about those autobiographies by Helen Forrest ( that were recommended here ๐).
They are so interestingly written. She presents many facts. She presents how she lived and what her mother told her and the family.
What her mother told her and the family does not match the facts.
I have come to believe that control of others and sadism was the point of the mother's abuse.
Another good thing about reading these books is that they can help put your own feelings and knowledge into plain words.
I'm glad you liked them. They do stir up a lot of emotions. If I can recommend any other books they would be The Nella Last diaries. Nella wrote for Mass Observation and later on someone compiled them into books.
She writes about everything from what they ate, her charity work, her adult children, domestic life during the war. Simply written and detailed. For me they are up there with Helen's books.
I cried a few times hearing Helen's story. Those poor children ( and I don't mean materially ).
Before these authors lived what they lived and the books they went on to write Aldous Huxley observed in the 1930s the personal and social effect that compulsory education was having on the English working class. Not only were they becoming empowered by the ability to understand the economic and legal world , they could read newspapers and contracts and such, but they could self educate on issues that helped their lives, like hygiene and nutrition. But most importantly education gave them the ability to structure and analyse what they observed and learnt about the world and the people around them.
I think these books and books like them are a product of that. ( Tho of course Helen came from a middle class family. )
It's sad that she had to fight for the most tiniest little things that we take for granted. Books were definitely her lifeline. Don't worry, I cried for every step forward and knock backs she took.
Forgot my wireless keyboard at home argghh. Have this weird setup now when I'm typing using my laptop keyboard looking at a monitor. It feels very off.
I'm working with a laptop due to my desktop needing to be fixed at the moment.
I had the option of connecting to the monitor via hdmi but I opted just to work from the laptop screen as I didn't want to go through typing on the laptop but looking at a monitor as well.

I tried one of the trails near my place on the way home yesterday. I don't think I'll incorporate it into the commute. It was very steep on both ends and a lot of work, even on the ebike at full assist. I'll keep looking at the trails though, there may be a shortcut that's a decent balance between hills and cutting out intersections.
Got any rivers? They're usually nice without intersections.
There are a couple of creeks around I could follow but none line up with the commute I'm aware of
Even if they add ten minutes I used to prefer taking the creek for the peaceful cycling.

Beach. It's cold, I'll rug up.
and visiting the other side of the creek today, there are few rocks there and not many sea birds
haven't really explored that area yet , I'll take pics โ๏ธโ๏ธ
Dog farted twice when he was walking up some stairs. I died.
Whew that was a super hectic talk-through of whatever shonky slides I already have but it looks like I am mostly there. The power of just slapping up one image with notes on another screen so you can talk as little or as much as needed depending on time!
Looks like my supervisor is pretty flat out marking other stuff next week so it really is hyper-compressed crunch time rest of this week to get the slides to a usable place, then get a 90% draft of the thesis across by latest Tuesday next week.
Ah well, I operate best under pressure and maybe it's a good target for me to try and get this wrapped up by my RL cake day around that due date as a bonus motivator... time to clear the weekend and get more food ordered! ๐ฆพ

Loong beach walk, went to where the mangroves start. Saw two pelicans out of the water and close up, they are BIG, much bigger than I thought.
I'm loving this beach/sea side life, it's just what I needed to destress. ๐
