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.

yaay tomorrow is my birthday and I'll be damend if I'm gonna have another shit one.
last year was a disaster, year before was just...fucked and the one before that I literally got evicted.
This one better be nice or I'm gonna bite its head off
Happy happy birthday π
It. had. Better. Be.
IT WILL BE positive vibes yeah.
Have put in a word to the Universe on your behalf.
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.)
Shit, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't realise things were so bad. I hope this one's a good one at least
Rehearsal at my place was awesome!!!
Was nice having people over which doesn't happen a lot because of where I live.
Awesome night!
We got new disco lights. It's hard to take a pic cos it's going fast. They are wicked.

Seemed to go ok! Iβve made it to the next round!!!!
Which is case study (nice way of saying roleplay) with 2 senior staff acting like clients.
Odd but will be interesting.
Mr Woof seems to be recovering from the trauma of his bath today.
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 thatβs 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 ππ
Half the band are coming over to practice because the drummer hurt his hand. Be nice to have people over!
And of course,
Cheersπ»
Wedges w/ sour cream and sweet chilli would be # 1 for me.
Oh and you forgot baked and croquettes and...

I have the family circle one, and the potato covered scotch egg meatloaf is a regular feature on our menu.
Where is microwave'd potato? This is a farce
Impossible. I'd give a different answer depending on my hunger level, hormones, companion, or it just being a Tuesday.
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.
S'cuse me teacher, I do not understand your question. Can you please explain your question in more detail regarding ranking?
Hey, I'm having all the feels about this. Things like MyersβBriggs I get different results on different days. Stupid questions like the library/party one. I work in a bloody library this question does not work.
Roast potato. The crispy edges are delicious.
Mashed potatoes. Nothing nicer with home made gravy.
Chips with mayo from the fritkot off Grande Place.
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 wonβt argue. I reckon potato quality has been declining for years. Iβve tried all the supermarket ones and ones from green grocers and I just canβt 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.

They're not my anemone. They're my friend
Oh that's a great find. Beautiful. And so nice to be a regular visitor to a spot so that you start to see little treasures π
Thereβs an Imgur blackout protesting the banning of nsfw and also they were removing political content?
Also theyβre going to be purging old unused content not associated with an account so please go grab anything youβd miss if it hasnβt already happened. (It began at least a week ago maybe.)
There are some old pics of Melbcat on there that will goβ¦ I do have the originals and donβt remember where I wrote the links to the post but itβs 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 aloneβ¦
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.
fatherβs 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.
That's why I made the effort to get into work early to go. They may be too young to remember but they're old enough to know if something's off on the day so I need to turn up.
I am upset at the question because I have run out of potatoes. Reminding me of this terrible turn of events is cruel and unusual punishment.
Attempting to make possum cages for my plants out of chook wire. They look shit and I look like I've been dragged through a blackberry farm
I once had a calendar of cats who like dancing with their humans That would be so fun
Broadly indifferent, but TheVoid hates when I'm in a Rammstein mood. Too much bass or just too loud???
I think he doesn't mind it because he has options to leave the room and he chooses not to.
He does love my singing.
Casey was the big music lover. He loved Fat Boy Slim and even rocked to a live concert we could hear in the park. He did not like Neutral Milk hotel.
