Finally got an inbox with the new Mlem app update. Yay! Looking profesh now.
Why, yes, I do believe I will add some zip to my curry
Yum! This sauce is on my kitchen counter - use it all the time 🤤
I ate chicken crimpys together with actual chicken. I’m right in the zone now.
Good morning Australia. Yesterday's sourdough turned into a rock on the outside but at least it's still soft on the inside. Spent half an hour painstakingly sawing off the crust. At least I have a cake for backup breakfast.
Is the crust too tough to make crumbs from? Makes a nice home made coating for chicken.
I can't see any reason why the bot did not post last night. There was no error, it just didn't do it. The only thing I can think of is that midnight is causing a problem, I will change the time to a couple of minutes after midnight and see if that works. Every test post I have done has worked as scheduled with no problems. Fingers crossed for third time lucky I guess.
When I was growing up my parents always said "there's no such thing as a stupid question" or "you don't learn if you don't ask questions". So now I feel bad when I see questions being posted on reddit and I think "that's a stupid question. Im not even going to reply to that". Like I get that some people were given the unfortunate parents stick and weren't taught stuff but we have internet now guys. We can research. We can ask questions before we ask strangers.
Oooooh I hear you on this. Like hello there’s google. Try searching yourself and if you’re still confused, maybe ask in a DT instead of a whole melbourne post 😒
Yes, yes, yes. I was trying hard not to sound like a smart-arse. Personal opinion is different to seeking facts. Just pick up the phone and get a confirmation from a professional because on here we are all plumbers/gynaecologists/police officers/tax agents etc we can be anything we want to be.
Glad it's finally (pretty much) dinner time. I've gone through a third of a pack of vitaweats again.
I pastuerized some mead last night for the first time to kill off the yeast so that i could add things for secondary flavour/aging without trigging further fermentation. The base mead is strawberry/raspberry and it is split into two 5L vessels. In one i have added some wine tannin and 0.5L of strawberry juice from berries we picked recently and in the other i have added 0.5kg of dried sour cherries. They both look amazing colour wise now and they smelt great. Will give them a taste later today before they go away for storage. The cherry one is so dark at the moment you cant even see a torch light through the liquid
Thanks Witchy-poo for conjuring up this thread.
Our little avatar thingos turned into square shape. ? I didn’t receive memo.
Yikes. Went to the shop and forgot about the whole hyperosmia things after a headcold which hit today. Walked past someone on the street and that perfume was way intense for at least 50m after walking past them.
On the plus side you do get nice nature / tree / plant smells. Would be nice to have that sort of upper respiratory stuff in spring. Would smell delicious.
Interesting weekly report on the fediverse
Interesting! Thanks for posting.
