Got out all my art stuff today. Finished fixing up the trolley/organiser. Sorted my books. I have a new set of chinese water colours and a dinosaur colouring book I’m going to use to practice brush skills. I have a book on calligraphy page layout ordered and soon to be “pakige”. 🤗 So excite.
At long last after weeks of procrastination I took my haul of manzano chillos from the fridge (and washed off some fuzzy growth…) and a head of good garlic and made this forbidden smoothie
Chucked it into an ice cube tray to make little cubes for wintertime pasta/stir fry.
Also took the uselessly spicy Thai chillis and blitzed it with ginga, garleck and little red shallots plus some lime joos, and dried shrimp, fried it all in oil. THIS thing is almost unusably spicy. I hope it mellows out over the next few weeks. attention @Bottom_racer
Home from pub. Those margaritas are fully dangerous, even without the coriander. House was 28 deg inside on entry, have opened all the windows and watched the thermometer drop 5 degrees in as many minutes. I may yet be able to sleep tonight. Tho I suspect the margaritas will help.
Yellowjackets on paramount, am enjoying. Plane of girls soccer team crashes in Canada wilderness 30y ago. It’s like 50/50 between then, and present time. Girls go nuts in wilderness, girls in present time deal with consequences.
I read those books as a teen. I think a few of the political subtleties in Tai Pan and Noble House went over my head due to my age but they were all very good
Prime minister on the radio basically admitting he would never force Coles or Woolworths to divest, but said oh we’ve got an inquiry, oh we are looking at mandatory code of conduct with penalties.
Cut the shit that is fiddling around the edges. And breaking up large companies is not a Soviet policy. If anything it’s a pro capitalist policy by returning to a more balanced market with greater competition.
Unlikely the inquiry will change much. Best thing to do is vote with your wallet if you can. (I know not everyone has access depending on where you live). Shop at Aldi, green grocer, butcher, markets, Costco.
I wish I could. If physical inability to shop (and particular needs around kitty’s litter/wet food) weren’t a factor I’d possibly be happy buying exclusively at Aldi
Couple suburbs east of you and it was spitting down, just now getting hit by a small cell of rain. Looks like little pimples emerging over the bay and city on the radar.
I gotta say that buildup before the rain, after a dry heat, is really… arousing.
