Ahhh, nice.

Ahhh, nice.
Hi beeeeach
I made a dinky little baby damper in the air fryer, just as an experiment.
Holy shit, this is brilliant
The man has bought himself a present. He has waited 6 months for this. He is so excited.

That thing scares me
Lube flavours are getting weirder by the day.
is that like a gallon of sambal oelek?
Sambal olek has around 500 - 1000 scoville rating. This has 1.2 million scoville rating. It does however have the same texture if that's what you mean.
why? Why even eat it?
I... I...
I'm sorry, what?! Is that rating system broken? Would he chow through the Hot Ones without missing a step?
What are the Hot Ones?
YouTube talk show where the host and his guest eat 10 wings thay get hotter as you got. Quite funny to watch the reactions.
Approved!I'd go the Scorpion Strike over the plain, but yay ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ
I just looked it up and told him how hot it was and his eyeballs got very wide with interest. You are one sick puppy catfish.
Thank you! I'm a bit confused how he found the industrial size bottle without seeing their whole range, but arse burn on babe.
Because he's bought this size before and when he ran out he went to order it again but it was out of stock. So he patiently waited. He buys it from blonde chilli not the chilli factory because it's cheaper and no delivery fee.
He generally doesn't look at sauces only pastes because he says they're weak. He knows differently now.
Ps. He no longer gets ring sting.
He doesn't drink milk
Ol' boy rocked up w/ a $600 grass tree. Haven't planted it yet but looking at the price and care instructions... fuck that. I mean it looks nice but who the f pays that for single tree.

It should have a tag attached, showing the date and place of gathering and who did the gathering. Also a licence number for the gatherer. That tag needs to stay attached to the tree to prove that it wasn't illegally gathered. There's a HUGE black market for illegally gathered grass trees, both here in Aus and overseas. If it's illegal, then the seller needs to be called out and made to pay the fine. Or the purchaser pays it when discovered. Check state requirements. Also grass trees gathered in maybe QLD can end up here in Vic, where they really don't belong and struggle to survive. It's a poor soil and dry conditions specialist, so overwatering is a real problem for the plant in a suburban setting with automatic watering nearby.
Yes, it won't grow much unless it gets a 'cool burn' around the base every few years - don't burn the topknot cos that kills the tree. It does need some fire in the right place and at the right time to reduce competition around it's very small root zone and so to thrive.
Are these the ones you need to set fire to sometimes?
when logging companies go into old growth forests to cut them down this is what they are really after.
They get more money for the grass trees and tree ferns than they do for the trees.
( we used to call them Black Boys, in open forest and grasslands they get tall and stand alone. )
I've got PT in the morning and an old mate is coming over so we can geek out over guitars lol
Goodnight all โค๏ธ
Good morning ๐ด
This is the raw dogging version of gratitude lol

Uhhhโฆ you guys arenโt gonna guess what happened.
TL;DR surprise pumpkins
spoiler
After I rushed my little out of season pumpkins through and finished ripening them on the windowsill I left them there to cure and as ornaments. I had plans to pile them into a bowl and paint them as a still life.
But I saw one was rotting. I opened it up to save any viable mature seeds because as an heirloom variety they would be true to the parent plant. And some of the seeds were sprouting inside. ๐ฑ
Opening up a second pumpkin that was rotting more sneakily, I found more. A lot in both were flat and hollow but so far I have about 32 normal seeds that might be usable and 15 already sprouted ones.
One might not come up because I accidentally buried it too deep in the potting mix and lost itโฆ but one hasty late night potting session later these sprouts at least have a chance.
The least ripe fruit is also rotting but Iโll open it tomorrow. Itโs unlikely the seeds in that will be developed enough to grow.
There are still 3 pumpkins that havenโt spoiled.
Unfortunately I already filled the big pots with flowers and what little ground soil I have is invaded by creeping grass and tree roots from shithead neighbours. I might see if my friendโs kid wants the seedlings and if I can beg a lift to donate the seeds to a seed library
I need to leave the house again because I do NOT have any chocolate and I can already sense my disappointed realisation later tonight when I need some.
Edit: I am replete. I knew you folks would understand.
Annnd already the snails got all the larger sprouts. I had watered them in after planting and intended to bring the pots inside after the excess water had drained but it seems snails are faster than you think.
More are on the way but that was really shitty. I saw the large fellow crawling away that probably did it and yeeted him as high and far as I could over the fence.
i do not like snails
i go out most evenings on rainy days, winter and summer, and yeet every single snail I see
just keep yeeting, you'll get them all eventually
Hello again, why did you do that? ๐
I move them over to the long grass near the compost and just make the garden unattractive to them
Unforch the long grass is right next to the tiny area I have for my pots so theyโd be back to munching in five. I donโt use poisons so chalk, eggshells, beer and the like would frequently be rained away and require constant replenishment
This is why I didnโt deliberately plant veg again
Edit: fwiw I generally aim for them to land on grass in the neighbours yard (the ones whose invasive creeping grass took over my meagre portion). I donโt deliberately hurt them
Copper tape.
Seriously, copper tape. It forms a tiiiny little electric fence. You can also cut rings out of old pots, line them and make mobile fences
Hello there, I am an snail. Please don't yeet me. It is painful and disorientating. ๐๐
They make good eating with garlic butter. In Europe I used to buy frozen dozens of them with the garlic butter already added. In a funky aluminium tray with 12 dints in it ready for the oven.
To celebrate World Menopause Day I'm reading Kaz Cooke's It's The Menopause book. YarraByte's bomb seems appropriate today.
I think its a yo-yo no? Still applicable i should think?
Open offer to join me tonight for Indian (flora, thx _pilk) and a fringe dance show "Odd to be beings" in the cbd this evening, or not. Xo e: The show is $20-$25 and I'm expecting Indian to be a bit less, so ~$50 all up.
Once you see the crowd there you'll realise you're in the right place for curry.
It's getting hot outside in the sun, but the planting is progressing well. I have 8 holes dug for the next lot of plants, then have 12 groundcovers to plant and I'll have them all in. It's around 60 plants all up, into unimproved soil with grass cover that needs to be removed so it's a lot of work, but I should have it done by the end of the day. Then I get to start on planting the vegies and improving the lawn. Garden boot camp, some people would pay good money to be forced to do this much exercise!
Weird day, i started in a parka and long pants, finished in shorts and a singlet
How long do you wait outside someone's house when you organised to meet them but they're out running errands and are notoriously bad with times?
Iโm just chilling today. Itโs great
I wouldn't take a tour. I'd probably do one of the walking pilgrimages or bicycle touring on a cheap local bike. Japan is pretty cheap and I'd be keen to try the sleep pods and net cafe accommodation. Then see as many botanical gardens as possible.
They're always cool.
Why can't you go in an onsen with tattoos?
Tattoo friendly.
Iโve been matching fluffballs nap cadence.
Man being a cat must be awesome lol
I successfully got all the planting done. I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow!
It's amazing how much bigger all the tubestock looks once its actually in the ground and spread out. Hopefully it will soon be much bigger in reality and starting to look like a proper garden.
I have to try and get together enough energy to make some dinner now (for me, the pets are already done) and sort out some lunch for work tomorrow. I'd really rather just stay on the couch.
Boyo is outside, both to be a stenchful smoker and hiss at possums. The latter is approved.
