Ughh. Had a long hot shower to try and manage pain. It’s a huge waste of water and the least environmentally friendly habit I have but unfortunately it’s not going anywhere.
Not a waste, needed for your wellbeing. Besides, Melbourne water storage is at 92% and Summer’s over, rainy autum and winter ahead. There’s no need to ration water right now. Any excess just gets released out of the dams.
Told the wife to play the “blue eyes white dragon” in her game of queens blood in ff7. Anyone else draw intense joy from annoying their spouse with dumb jokes? I LIVE for the disappointed grunt noise I got.
Complete submersion in almost scalding water, and (as soon as it cooled enough to get my hands in the sink) a knife gently levered between the two bowls to break the seal all the way around.
Three is probably the best of the films. At least in the sense of a self-contained, coherent story that doesn’t rely on you knowing anything about the books.
You may have to sacrifice one to save the other. Put a groove in the bottom edge of the lower one with a nail file, then tap FIRMLY on the bench to shatter it. If you are holding the top one, it should be unharmed. A teatowel on the bench may help corral the shards for disposal. Rubber gloves as per StudSpud’s comment are a very good idea.
Staff at personal devices shop: Welcome! How can I help you?
AJ: I’d like a massage device that vibrates.
Staff: Any preference for size and shape?
AJ: Something gentle. It’s for my bowls who love each other too much.
Put them on the bench with a towel underneath and put a bag of frozen peas (still in the bag) in the top bowl, wait until the top bowl is cold on the outside, then turn them on the side and give them a firm but gentle tap on top of the towel.
Edit: just saw Seagoon already mentioned this. Oh well, guess you now own a double walled bowl, or two less bowls, depending on what you decide to do. Welcome to a fork in the road of your life.
The magnetic laundry shelves stick well but the baskets are teeny tiny. They won’t hold a few of the items I wanted to put in there. Photo mildly misleading. Still it’s better than the suction cup hook I had holding the hand towel. The art supplies look good.
Edit: Oh and the resin platter I bought for wildlife water is nice and heavy but also teeny tiny. I need to actually check the measurements on these things. The amount of water in that would be drunk or evaporate fast.
Can you use a heavier bowl for the water? I have an old shallow ceramic serving bowl which has been given a new life as the garden birdbath. Maybe you have something lurking in the back of a cupboard you don’t use anymore?
Today’s project completed: one large tote bag to carry my meals to work. The fabric is designed for outdoor furniture, with a lining of the type of fabric used for packs and sportsbags. This should mean it will last well - the old bag got quite manky because of the condensation formed by ice bricks. It did make it hard to sew though, both because of how thick it is and because the lining fabric was slippery. Miss Meow did her best to assist. Spoiler: it didn’t help.
The only solution I’ve got is variations on the hot/cold theme, generally heat the bottom bowl and cool the top bowl. Are they ceramic and could have absorbed a tiny amount of water? Maybe try some dry heat, like in the oven on low for a while.
Today I was going to buy a bag that is very similar, same shape and size, heavy tapestry in the same colour palette. I just wanted it for the fabric, to repurpose as chair upholstery, so declined at the price .
This is called kafta bil khebez (meat in bread). It’s basically kebab meat inbetween lebanese bread.
Now why I was laughing was instead of waiting for the meat to reach room temperature so it’s easier to spread my man was standing at the table giving CPR compressions to the meat with both hands.
Over the first six movies, it’s pretty-much a who’s who of British actors. It’s fun to spot them all. I don’t recall any new members added to the ensemble for the final two films.
Yay, managed to get one overdue garden produce/kitchen task done - basil pesto (the damn things were flowering desperately and might not have lasted another week without harvesting. I had to chuck out about 20g of spotty/yellowed leaves…).
I have no parmesan or nutritional yeast, so I peeled extra garlic and quickly shallow fried the cloves in oil, added that with toasted sunflower seeds and a bit of extra salt - verdict: it’s delicious! I don’t miss the cheese at all. Cheap and easy. Just put most of it in an ice cube tray for future re-use. Somehow it’s ended up a lot darker green this time, but I don’t mind!
The other overdue job I really need to do tomorrow, before it warms up again, is give the curry leaf plants a big haircut (timing is really pushing it). Gonna make a big batch of South Indian-style curry leaf sambol/chutney with coconut and fresh green chillies also from the balcony, then freeze most of it. Might hunt down some frozen coconut since I think my dessicated stuff is getting kind of old, and I want this to be a smashing sambol
