Thank you for the reminder, I was going to do some washing too but somehow got distracted enroute to the washing machine. I somehow ended up vacuuming the house and putting on a batch of yoghurt and completely forgot the washing!

I've managed to resolve some payment issues I was having with the meal kit services and have been able to sign up for another couple of free boxes ๐ This means another few weeks of minimal meal planning.
How have you found the quality of the ingredients?
I've found the quality is generally pretty good. The biggest issue I've had is with the cheaper ones (Dinnerly & EveryPlate) expecting you to have more ingredients to add in yourself, like mayonnaise or bbq sauce. You also need to make sure you do the recipes with more perishable ingredients first, especially if you are spreading it out over time. The last box I got had salad with everything, and by the time I got to the last recipe it was starting to get a bit wilted.
If you haven't tried them before you can get free boxes (you still have to pay around $12 postage). They give out the codes to people who buy boxes to give to their friends etc, and there is a regular post in the aussie frugal reddit for people to post codes, which is what I've been doing. I got a box from each of the companies before I moved, and now that I'm at a different address I'm doing it again.
Thanks for the heads up. I tried one ages and ages ago and it wasn't great.
Will give them another go :)

Morning chef, hope things are good in your dimension.
Can I have a simple bowl of warm porridge with lashings of honey? It's cold in this universe

The sun here continues to make its presence known at all times. I put it to work warming your porridge.
A bowl of hot porridge with cream and honey please.
I'd also like to pre-order a slow-cooked balrog stew, with mashed potato and glazed carrots.
๐ฅ๐พ๐ฅฃ๐ฅ๐ฏ
Balrog's testicles nigiri please
And what is bacon going to do with the rest of the balrog, pray tell!
Not my problem, chef will figure it out

Insomnia gang sup.
Trainer just sent me the new 3 day program. Looks interesting. Haven't done a few of the exercises before.
I was expecting 5 days, so I'll use the other 2 days for lower and core.
Pretty excited. When I'm in that world, I'm fully in. Great diet, consistent work outs, lots of water etc. I think it's the old adhd super focus.
Woo! Keep us updated on how your shoulder is and your gym journey :)
I just got absolutely worked lol
It was great having someone there to correct some movements if been doing wrong and to push me harder than normal.
Now I've earned my zonk lol
