home made or take out? dreary weather meant take out pizza last night for me. tonight - cocktails.
Maryland chicken coated in oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme is roasted in a cast iron skillet on a bed of rice alongside charred Brussels sprouts.
I picked up the chicken this morning and have been salivating at the thought of it for dinner all day.
Loving the cost-of-living price "hack" with bone-in chicken. At Woolies –
- Boneless, skinless, thigh - $13.5/kg
- Bone-in, skin-on, thigh - $7.50/kg
- Maryland - $7/kg
- Whole chicken - $6-7/kg (last I checked)
Last week was all about the thigh, but they're out and only have Maryland so I'll make do!
Smoothie with fruit, protein, honey and oats most days.
Have been craving home made McMuffins lately though. English muffin, fried egg, bacon and cheese. Think I’ll have that this morning!

Start by hanging from a pull-up bar, then raise your feet so your toes tap the bar inside your hands. You can do it strict - with no swing - or "kipping" like in the example.
For existing installation’s I can understand why oracle is still in use. For any new build I really can’t fathom why anyone would reach for oracle over Postgres other than ignorance.
I tend to make my own sauces. My staple bases are soy (dark and light), oyster, fish and sesame oil.
Leftover chicken "korma" and rice.
I got an Ooni Karu 16 pizza oven. Tried it out and absolutely love it.
I’ve always wanted to have a go making pumpkin gnocchi. I make regular potato gnocchi fairly often.
