Here's hoping the weekend will help me recharge a bit after feeling sick last weekend. I had the last few days at work to myself but I've felt so flat and out of it, I just need a longer rest I think

The pizza:
They're not quite at the stage of the one down the beach (who just does whatever it wants). It's a start.
Which calls for a rave choon
I'd be your friend for that pizza too.
It def looks good ๐คค
4kg onions = 31 serves of caramelised onion. That should last me a while.

I wanna let youse know YarraByte is with me and we are getting pissed together. They may not turn up for work tonight because my parties can get pretty wild.
Cheers everyone ๐บ
Did they have an excuse for not turning up last night?
Mental health break. Too much responsibility.
And the night before?
Possible gastro.

I have successfully revived the robovac! Of course we now have the same cat based problem as before, the LittleOne just cannot leave it alone to charge. Off to internet ways to disable the too tempting Ding!
Here Ted won't stop fighting the robovac, I have to close doors to keep him out
I need to grab one of those for fluffball to ride around on when Iโm at work lol
I assume all the booms are Diwali bit late guys, so many upset animals in my range
@Catfish
Nah, its the hitting horses with whips festival. Mooney valley racecourse. They care about other animals as much as they care about the horses.
@TheWitchofThornbury2
Ah. Had't realised that had started yet. Poor horses.
Pizza is here, music apps installed, all my shit from band rehearsal last night is plugged back in.
Fuck yeah Friday night. Cheers โค๏ธ
Cheers ๐น

WHEN WILL THERE BE A FOOD QUIZ?
UNDER NEPOLIAN III WHAT WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE DINING UTENSIL MADE OF / ELEMENT.
*Napaleon oopsies.
aluminium?
!
That's always a surprise to me.
It's bloody difficult stuff to refine without electricity, which wasn't available until relatively recently. Kaiser Wilhelm III had a special helmet made of gold and aluminium and the gold was the cheap bit.
It was used to make crowns even
It was very hard to refine and smelt, that's why, takes very very high temps
WHEN YOU SET ONE UP
Alright. I may have a quiz game or ten. When I can be fuck typing, I'll entertain youse.

Urgh my microwave died. Do I get a fancy one or a cheap simple one. Convection and airfry seem to be things in microwaves now. e: hmm 3v3. Imma see if the next Aldi has the convection on sale else I'll get a $50 700W baby microwave, babies are less than 20Litres yeah?
Cheap. The expensive ones die twice as fast in my experience. Currently have a Westinghouse, after a Samsung died 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Have always paid $$ for Sharp, but the cheap Westinghouse is doing a great job.
I have a Samsung. It's small. 2 things it doesn't do is large popcorn bags and microwave rice standing up (I lay it on It's side. It does the job). Go with one that microwaves, grills and bakes.
Those flatbed ones where your food stays still seem interesting. They're a bit more than a traditional microwave but it could be worth it for the extra space
It's 99% re-heating meal prep or cooking poppadums so I don't need a heap of space.

I lost the containers I put my caramelised onions into to freeze. I searched everywhere without any success and decided to go to the backup plan of ice cube trays. Then I remembered where the containers are - in the pantry, right next to where I have been working all day and very visible. Fortunately I remembered before actually packaging the onions.

good night everyone, sweet dreams
I am about to make a really big batch of caramalised onions. There will be tears. ๐ง ๐ญ
Edit: 4kg of onions sucessfully cut and in the saucepan to caramelise. There were tears, but not as many as I feared. Now I can start dealing with some less defensive vegetables.

Finally home after day in office + shopping and dinner afterwards. There are few greater pleasures than putting on comfortable clothes after a long day and pouring a drink.
updating printer drivers ...waiting
oh ffs
processing .....
and went to print out my PT exercises, my PT did not do what I asked, which was to send pictures and text. She sent me an app to subscribe to, which I will not do.
That's really annoying.
