Toddler woke up screaming, woke the cat. While im settling the toddler cats giving me this look of death. I said sorry. He replied by going to claw the shit out of the armchair
The recipie called for chicken thighs, browned before going in the oven. Tbh the flavours just didnโt work together at all. You could individually taste the apricot, the French onion and the chicken but they didnโt fuse together. Iโd deffo cook chicken like that again, but yeahโฆ not with those flavours.
Yeah I guess itโs just one of those โthis is your thing or itโs absolutely notโ kind of flavours. Mrs said I did a great job with it, but the taste was just aweful.
Everyone keeps saying this, but Iโm yet to find a decent Asian grocer like this. We donโt have Asian grocers in my suburb, just Indian grocers and they are very different.
Anyone here got both a manual and auto in the house? Does it ever get easier? Weโre about 2-3 months in of having both and I gotta be honest, 2 seems to be 1 more than I can count. Iโm fine after a day or 2 in 1, but each time I jump in the other after a little while it is ROUGH.
Agreed. Love a manual, but the auto has its uses. Stop start traffic along the monash in a manual isnt a ton of fun. And sadly the wait time on the SUV with a manaul was over 2 years, where as I could get the auto straight awayโฆ sadly a no brainer. At least its a REAL auto none of this CVT BS.
Until someone can demonstrate benefits of manual over auto for daily driving, my stance will remain unchanged.
Daily? Nope. but on a drive for fun? All day. If I go for a drive to relax (pretty rare these days) doing it in the manual makes me part of the experience. Iโm working with the machine. Each corner I hit at the right rpm is a small victory or achievement, and the feeling of the momentum carrying through the corners is all the more special because I DID it. Jesus I sound like a Subaru driver.
lmao! So its not just me? I go for the clutch in the auto, then forget it when starting the manual when its left in gear. Youโd think โBrand new modern SUVโ and โDated 2000โs Hatchโ would be enough for my brain to register, but no.
Patsa, Pasata, Beans, Rice, Canned Fish, Frozen Veg, eggs, herbs/seasoning. You can make a ton of stuff from just those items. Get as MUCH as you can from Aldi too. The aldi pasta is god tier when compared to Woolies home brand. Iโd probably just skip aldiโs tuna.
Another good option is NEVER cook a meal for 1 meal. Batch cook. Make some soup or bolognese and freeze multiple serves from it, a big batch of chicken stroganoff reheats super well. Our Freezer has got like 10-20 meals ready to go at any point.
I think I like metal nowโฆ I mean, soft metalโฆ but I keep listening to all these Electric Callboy songs. I prefer the non-screaming bits, but appreciate value the screaming gives to the overall experience.
Tried to mellow the extra spicy ramen I accidentally brought a 4 pack off cause Iโm trying to waste less food. I managed to get 3/4 of the way through the bowl before losing it. My lips are on fire!
This feels like a real obvious one, but Iโll share for those who donโt know: petrolspy.com.au/mapAlways check this or any of the hundreds of sites like it before filling up. if petrol prices are high thereโs no shame in chucking in 20 bucks and waiting for a better price.
