Yarrabyte’s gone missing again. Last seen behind the tapestry wool in Spotlight. No way of knowing if still there. Should we send out a search party?
You must log in or # to comment.
I wanna let youse know YarraByte is with me and we are getting pissed together. They may not turn up for work tonight because my parties can get pretty wild.
Cheers everyone 🍺
Did they have an excuse for not turning up last night?
Mental health break. Too much responsibility.
And the night before?
Possible gastro.
Cheers!

The pizza:
They’re not quite at the stage of the one down the beach (who just does whatever it wants). It’s a start.
Which calls for a rave choon
I’d be your friend for that pizza too.
It def looks good 🤤
Perils of living with the colourblind, he keeps stealing my toothbrush
elastic band round the handle of his only
Both his now, I got a blue one out of the spare stash
I’m sorry this made me laugh. What colour is it and what colour does he think it is?
Red and green
Oh classic. You should put a little sticker on his.
stickers
you can have a rude word in red-green for his
Yeah last I saw Yarrabyte was cracking into the sewing machine oil and chatting up the computerised Singers. Probably still hungover
Here’s hoping the weekend will help me recharge a bit after feeling sick last weekend. I had the last few days at work to myself but I’ve felt so flat and out of it, I just need a longer rest I think

I have successfully revived the robovac! Of course we now have the same cat based problem as before, the LittleOne just cannot leave it alone to charge. Off to internet ways to disable the too tempting Ding!
Here Ted won’t stop fighting the robovac, I have to close doors to keep him out
I need to grab one of those for fluffball to ride around on when I’m at work lol
Mine never rode it, but he sure wants to bapp it
That is fucking adorable lol
Just cracked a chinotto
GOAT soft drink
Pizza is here, music apps installed, all my shit from band rehearsal last night is plugged back in.
Fuck yeah Friday night. Cheers ❤️

WHEN WILL THERE BE A FOOD QUIZ?
UNDER NEPOLIAN III WHAT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE DINING UTENSIL MADE OF / ELEMENT.
*Napaleon oopsies.
**Nupolion… fuck we’re getting there.
Neapolitan?
Nipplelion
Correct
aluminium?
!
That’s always a surprise to me.
It’s bloody difficult stuff to refine without electricity, which wasn’t available until relatively recently. Kaiser Wilhelm III had a special helmet made of gold and aluminium and the gold was the cheap bit.
It was used to make crowns even
It was very hard to refine and smelt, that’s why, takes very very high temps
WHEN YOU SET ONE UP
Alright. I may have a quiz game or ten. When I can be fuck typing, I’ll entertain youse.
Deal.
4kg onions = 31 serves of caramelised onion. That should last me a while.
sounds delicious :)
Mr Woof’s really not doing his guard dog duties well today. There is someone at the front door dropping off the groceries and he’s just nonchalantly wandering around the back yard.
Edit: I just left him unattended with some of the shopping bags for a moment. Instead of getting into the lamb roast that was in one of the bags he thoroughly investigated the box of long life milk. He’s just not dogging properly at all today 🤣 Maybe he just needs a good walk.
Needs a reset
The shopping has all been put away. When you do a major shop monthly that takes quite a while. Sadly they didn’t have the bag of potatoes I ordered and for some reason they decided they couldn’t substitute them. Is there a major potato shortage I am unaware of? Fortunately I am not completely out, but I will have to go low potato for a while.
Other substitutions today include giving me red curry paste instead of yellow and a different cut of beef which won’t work well for what I planned. So I’m making red curry beef instead of yellow curry chicken, and will make a different style of chicken curry from ingredients I already have.
This afternoon I will be doing some packaging of meat for the freezer and a few other food preps, and hopefully get a bit of gardening done too.
Yes there is a potato shortage. Something to do with a drought in South Australia.
This explains why my local had no potatoes last time I was there, sweet potato was the only option. Love sweet potato but it is not a substitute!
I quite like sweet potatoes in rich dishes such as stews and curries.
Here’s my flex. I have 10 medium sized spuds ready for mash with my lamb chops for Sunday feast day.
How very rude of the universe to do this to me. This is one of the downsides to moving house, I would have had some from the garden if I hadn’t done that.
I haven’t been able to find seed potatoes , I was looking for 2 months
Given that Ballarat is right in the middle of Victoria’s Big Potato district, you should be able to find some in specialty shops. Try the local shop in Trentham or Ballan. Cost per kilo will be astronomical (at least $3 per kilo), but the spuds should be nice & fresh and mega delicious. Yes, seed potatoes are grown all around Buninyong and Ballan and Trentham for most of Vic & SA. Ditto horseradish and parsnips. Something to do with the height above sea level preventing some diseases from getting into the seed potatoes. Plus fairly reliable rainfall at zigacktly the right times of the year and a very reliable cold season.
Another quiz 6/10

6/10 really lucky guesses
- That was hard
I think Seagoon is gonna do really well with this one. No pressure.
I think Seagoon does well at everything
Very true.
aw, thanks
I only got 8 :(
I’m disappointed for you 😔
7/10
8/10 got lucky with one, and unlucky with another. Also paid the smartypants price for the other wrong one.
I am about to make a really big batch of caramalised onions. There will be tears. 🧅😭
Edit: 4kg of onions sucessfully cut and in the saucepan to caramelise. There were tears, but not as many as I feared. Now I can start dealing with some less defensive vegetables.
wear swimming goggles
also a good hint for at protests where you might expect some action
Breathe through your mouth while cutting them up.
I wish that was all it took. I am very sensitive to onion and end up in tears cutting them as a regular occurance. With large batches like this tears are guaranteed.
Sharpened your knife?
Knife was sharpened. Onions had the ends cut off and then straight into water to be peeled. They were then sliced in the food processor, which was opened under the exhaust fan to put into the pan. I managed to get away with only needing to wash my face to end excessive teariness once, which is pretty good for me as I seem to be very sensitive to onion.
Do you freeze them or is this for a specific recipe?
I freeze them. Most of them end up in toasted sandwiches.
