Thank god the work week is over.

Been a rough week with everything and being cash strapped. Decided to hold back on cheapie sort drinks and junk food this time.

Treated myself to a couple of cheap tons of sardines just to get a feel for what they’re like. I think. I’ll be combing them into pasta or on bread.

They were basic 90cent tins from woolworths.

If they’re good I’ll get more in the future but herring has definitely changed how I think about them and I may need to stock up on them since I love them way better than tuna.

No plans this weekend. I want to do something, but I also can't be bothered.

I don't mind if this roast silverside crumbles, I'll still eat it. Photos will be taken (if I remember).

Night time cold and flu meds have been taken, time to sleep like I've taken a frypan to the head in a slapstick comedy.

I bought a slab of silverside as it was on special, and I truly cannot be fucked boiling it. So I am roasting it. Scored, oiled, and salted, with some quartered/sixthed potates and onions. Tomatoes will go in a little bit later.

Set and forget, baby!

Morning everyone. I got me some flamin lips this morning. Better load up on that lysine in case it's something stupid 🫠

Really struggling today to work out the reason why 'steak cut fries' are called that.

I just listed something free on Marketplace I wasn't sure anyone would be interested in. 15 replies in 5 minutes. I guess there's interest🤣

I'm feeling uninspired about dinner tonight. I've got some chicken curry, I might do that. A bit of rice, perhaps some radish raita, a bit of the zucchini pickle I made recently, and a potato & green leaf curry side dish. Hmm, I guess I found that inspiration after all.

Bit of a weird question for a Friday night:

Can anyone recommend an app for budgeting/saving? I know there's quite a few around I'm just wondering if there's one that people would recommend?

yum, I just made a dessert of fresh mixed berry sauce to go with fruit, yoghurt or icecream. I had it with 2 big spoons of no fat no sugar yoghurt.

Here is the recipe. 500 g frozen mixed berries. 2 tbsps sugar, juice of one orange. Half defrost the berries then blend it all together. Eat. Keep remainder in fridge.

They're baaaack

Man, Friday.... Weight has lifted, MrsCalhoon is feeling better, kidcalhoon1 got through the week with all her medical appointments, and kidcalhoon2 said it was awesome skating to school pa can we do it everyday?....

I know I promoted this guy over at the other place, but for you new acquaintances....

Have a listen to this guy Leif Vollebekk....an incredible musician, with a not-unique-but-very-fresh style

this coffee is just right, nice and hot too :) after this I'll reheat some pizza from last night

I love the smell of an early Spring, but fuck me is it setting off my hayfever.

Fuck you Nose. You have betrayed me for the last time.

My train carriage smells like bad pickles.

Pizza for dinner tonight cos I'm worth it. Plain Jane's put their prices for 2 mediums on special up to $25. Will be in the poorhouse soon at this rate. Fortunately their on special range includes marinara with extra garlic and capricciosa with anchovies.

Oh cool... my Ritalin prescription is out of date by like a month or so, and my next appointment is 23rd of September.

Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool
