As far as strawberry cheesecake goes, I'm pretty impressed by my efforts. Candles and singing later, I just made sure it survived the trip out of the tin.

    It should be easier to have a comparatively better birthday but I hope you have a great one!

    Comparatively is a very dangerous word to use here. We're talking an event that does include my grandfather literally dying in the middle of my 18th birthday party and (another year) ME almost dying (not hyperbole. I spent my 33rd birthday in the ICU with a 10% chance of survival.)

    Rehearsal at my place was awesome!!!

    Was nice having people over which doesn't happen a lot because of where I live.

    Awesome night!

    Which is case study (nice way of saying roleplay) with 2 senior staff acting like clients.

    Odd but will be interesting.

    Just went outside on this glorious day for a break - and met a bloke walking his new golden retriever puppy. 16 weeks old and all paws and ears and goodwill to all mankind. Made my day.

    Alrighty.

    On my way now. Will be almost an hour early but that’s my standard MO. Can sit around and have a coffee and mess around on my iPad before hand.

    Fingers crossed!

    Good job Mr Byte, you've been doing great with the posting lately. Keep this up and your next performance review will be very positive.

    Mickey has been way more cuddly and needy than usual, somehow. I think he knows something is happening soon (out trip and his stay in the cattery).

    I don't want to leave my big baby 😭😭

    I have the family circle one, and the potato covered scotch egg meatloaf is a regular feature on our menu.

    Roasted potato has to be on top, but hot chips (not shoestring, proper hot chips deep fried) and potato chips are close behind. I like a good wedge with sour cream too, and mashed potato has its place.

    Now I really want potato.

    Shoestring fries are probably my favourite. But they're unhealthy so need to be eaten in moderation, same for crisps.

    Wedges can be risky. I've had a bunch that haven't been cooked well. They're easy to prepare at home but isn't that just kinda a rustic style roast?

    Mashed, serves a purpose as a side, base or pie crust. You can zhoosh it up with things like cheese, garlic and bacon then feed it to your GF while she's having a hard time.

    Roast - Classic.

    Boiled - Intermediary state. Reminds me of of culinary devoid Irish grandma.

    Scollop potato Like a cheese and potato bake, makes me think of celebratory meals, eg. xmas.

    Potato Gratin. Tried the aldi one once and it was okay but one of my favourite things about potato is that it's cheap.

    Baked potato is best.

    However the potato variety in Australia is pretty bad.

    Proper baking potatoes (Russett?) and Yukon Gold potatoes for mashing are top tier.

    Y'all can argue, but you'd be wrong.

    I won’t argue. I reckon potato quality has been declining for years. I’ve tried all the supermarket ones and ones from green grocers and I just can’t replicate the fluffiness and flavour of baked or roast potatoes I remember from decades ago. Where. Are. The. GOOD. Potatoes.

    I have a house of mash potato loving fiends, so most days I cook mash. Myself I am partial to roast potatoes and who doesn't love a shoestring fry. Wedges as a side to a robust manly meal like brisket, and I will admit to loving a boiled or even microwaved spud with salt, butter and chives. I make a beautiful potato scallop bake, never got on the gratin train but love a potato rosti. My favourite crisps are original salted crinkle cut. There is no bad potato in my book. The perfect addition to any meal in any form.

    I took a photo of a green sea anemone in a rock pool , it was about 10 cm big. Pretty sure the anemones in this pool are normally a light gold colour, I think it was green from eating all the chlorophyl from the sea lettuce washed up in the storm.

    I'm not sure this post reproduces how beautifully translucent green this creature was.

    There’s an Imgur blackout protesting the banning of nsfw and also they were removing political content?

    Also they’re going to be purging old unused content not associated with an account so please go grab anything you’d miss if it hasn’t already happened. (It began at least a week ago maybe.)

    There are some old pics of Melbcat on there that will go… I do have the originals and don’t remember where I wrote the links to the post but it’s still sad to think about.

    I refused to make an account because they were demanding a phone number. I guess if I ever do Drawabox I have to find an alternative for that reason alone…

    Get to work early, a bit of work, long training session, bit of work, Balatro toilet time, lunch, more training.

    Then a bit of work, finish early, father's day time at the childcare centre. A nice write-off of a day productivity-wise.

    father’s day time at the childcare centre.

    The father's day morning teas I attended when my kids were in primary school, are some of the fondest memories I have from that time.

    I also felt bad at the kids who's parents couldn't attend. My kids's reactions to me just being there, still brings a smile to my face.
