  • Came across a short on youtube of a customer asking a baker for grass-fed salmon on her bagel. Wtf?

  • Let her. Just don't get involved yourself. This gives you "I told you so" rights when she comes home exhaustipated and emotionally vulnerable. However, you may not wish to exercise those rights in the interests of family harmony.

    Best if she discovers for herself that you can only help those who want to be helped. Let this one slide past without getting yourself involved I think. Just have some comfort for her ready when she gets back. Maybe cook dinner and do all the kid things while she's busy elsewhere.

  • Lamb chops and lollipops please - with coffee, lots of coffee.

    Also, when is the food truck enterprise starting up? Do we know yet which locations?

  • Do that. Not spam if nice photos. Maybe spiced ham?

  • Fog or low cloud has rolled in over Richmond. Outside air temp has gone from f**king cold to biting cold. Hands are burning after going out to buy a coffee. Wasn't like that when I got to work this morning at 9 am.

  • In the short term, a graphite lubricant like for locks will help a lot. Cheaper than a new bed. I would not use WD40 due to smell and greasy residue.

  • Thank you. The cats shared the leftover cream and licked the porridge bowl clean. Win/win.

  • Doesn't have to be geotextile - an old towel or a sheet folded double will do perfectly well to protect them. Sheets are lighter and don't squash the plants as much as towels.

  • Wait until you get a rose thorn stabbing, and end up going to the doc for a penicillin injection. Which they administer with a sharpened hose pipe into your gluteus maximus. Rose thorns do gangrene really really well apparently. Learned my lesson from that experience and now wear gloves when I'm anywhere near roses. Never knew that lemons were particularly hazardous - thanks for the info!

  • Hot water bottle just woke me up cos sprang a leak. Only by now it's a slightly warm water bottle which is a relief. And it's only on its third year of use. Damn. TGF mattress protector. Would not be fun drying a mattress this time of year.

  • Does seem that they're setting themselves up to fail - and each to have enough material to put the blame on the other. Shit show coming up, so I would suggest distancing yourself - you have enough to cope with with your own responsibilities. They need professional help (and sounds like both need a good kick up the backside too).

    There's a reason why airlines stress that you should put on your own oxygen mask BEFORE putting them on your kids.

    Not news. Not if you use this station. Published in the very early morning, not prime time. Something has to be done about this.

    New dish - salmon stuffed hash browns

    Just came back from brunch with a friend - she'd cooked a very nice variation on hashbrowns. Thinnish layer of mashed spud in a lined lamington tray, layer of smoked salmon, another layer of mashed spud. Then chilled, cut in sections, breaded and fried. End result was a hash brown with a distinct layer of fish in the middle. She served these with a poached egg on top and a side of avocado salsa. Very nice indeed and a good brunch dish.
