Over 40 degrees again yesterday!! It has been scorching hot here in Melbourne. But I still made a beautiful duck breast dinner late in the evening. Love using our home grown vegetables.

Lunch time. Bangers and three vegetable mash with babies peas and a red wine jus.

Consider: What can you offer as resistance? Be creative! Then offer it. This is a great example.

Look at this right here. When I see people on here complaining that there is nothing Dem pols can do to stop this, they can fking stop helping this shit to continue. Please stop giving the bad guys money, is that too much to ask?

Am I the only one that thinks this cartoon by Charles Addams (the guy who created the Addams family) is legitimately creepy?

a friend recently shared this with me and i'm obsessed — it's an MTV/VH1 simulator with almost 30,000 videos (organized by decade) along with special sections for things like 120 Minutes, Unplugged, Yo! MTV Raps, and Pop-Up Video (!!!) wantmymtv.vercel.app

Taco Tuesday edition: Smash or Pass?

Ostrich!! Dinner tonight (a nod to the old homeland) was ostrich steak. Served with boiled potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, sauteed mushrooms and spiced red cabbage (with herbs, seeds and cashews). And a creamy peppercorn sauce. Delicious. #hobbybaker #homemade #foodie #Whatscooking #ostrich 🍜🍽️

I awoke to a temperature of 22℉ ( aka -5℃), & my mind went immediately to soup. Specifically, this Lobster/Crab Bisque from Fannie Farmer's Cookbook (1965). While it's a bit of a splurge, it's simple and warming. What do you think? Would you like a cup or a bowl today?🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #RecipeOfTheDay
