But if you turn it over, what is on the other side?

Good staffwork! All shall be well, all shall be very well.

Are Gibson & The Strays sorted for the duration of your absence?

Actually, that’s quite a cute band name …

I think so. I often get a tub of it from Colesworth for lunch, heat it up in the microwave at work, stir in a small tin of tuna and dribble on the dressing. It’s a nice veg-rich lunch that is cheap, quick and tasty.

Yes, tomorrow is a new day, and maybe a better one. Our thoughts are with you. Vent here as much as you like.

Quite a bit of rain according to the windy.com radar.

Clearly not a happy soul. Reminds me of too many Monday mornings.

She can hear miso being added???

Could be that too. High altitude dust is still high altitude dust.

It’s taken a couple of weeks for the dust from that volcano in Indonesia to reach us I reckon. I remember how pretty the sunsets were after the Mt Pinatubo eruption.

Thanks chef! Having some difficulty making decisions rn.

Happy Solstice for lunchtime today!

Trying to decide if I want a Continental breakfast or a Modified American breakfast or a Full English breakfast. Chef, could you please roll the dice and provide accordingly? Not if it’s too much trouble of course.

Arrange some enemies into a henge!

I think you’ve got most of it right. Grog is helpful as chestnuts can be a bit dry and floury. Not that this is a problem, just a glass or three of the old nasty helps the medicine go down.
Skyclad is strickly for summer imo. Also if doing skyclad, then watch out for impertinent echidnas. They’re a bit of a menace. I think they’re in league with the fundamentalist christians.
Lots of singing helps the sun return too. So bring out your favorite playlist and have at it!!

Yep. Used to do them for putting round the sides of birthday cakes for the boys. In football team colours. And to satisfy my bloke’s toffee addiction. Very fun and very pretty. They look lovely as christmas tree decorations.

Try Preston Market. The out of date/out of stock re-sellers sometimes have bags of boiled lollies that are perfect for stained glass bikkies.

EDIT: or make your own. Boiled lollies are just sugar and water boiled to hard crack stage, then coloured and set. I cup of sugar+1/4 cup of water is a good base mix. Boil up to hard crack stage, then dip out a half ladleful, add food colouring to suit, stir with fork and pour onto a tray lined with baking paper to set. Dip out some more, colour etc until you have all the colours you need. I recommend banishing all pets, kids and spouses from the kitchen until you’ve finished. Hot sugar is nasty when juggling priorities.

And the final result is easily storable in airtight jars/bags for future use. And you’re going to smash it up anyway so if bits stick to each other that’s fine.

Just got home from work. EOFY sucks the big one. Kill me now. (after I’ve had this glass of wine that magically leapt out of the fridge and into my hand) Really should eat something. Later.

Popcorn is good. Popcorn is life.

saladas with a thin smear of vegemite, and weak black tea is very good at settling a grumbly tummy.
