Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Many years ago I grew and birthed a baby. Today I did it again. 😎 Feast your eyes on my loaf
Image of a loaf of breadUpdate will happen when I saw into the thing.
Image of loaf with two cut off piece. One buttered.Verdict: Lovely crust. Soft inside. Maybe a little under done but still edible. 4/5 yum yums.
Note to ones self: Do not eat the whole thing before the roomies come home.

Looks good enough to eat! Lovely.
Thank you.
oohh that’s nice looking. Would go really nice with some margarine or peanut butter right about now.
Oh yeah it’s gonna happen very soon.
baby sawer!
All good things must come to an end
That’s really nice 😊
Thank you. I’m looking forward to some of your bread recipes now that I’m a pro :)
I can’t seem able to make a good crunchy crust. ☹
Sometimes when I don’t get a good crunch on my baked goods it’s because I need to clean the oven. Hahahaha.Try this recipe. It might work for you
I must confess I’m impressed at the implied size of your … orifice. Congratulations.
Thank you. It was hard work but it was worth it.
I admit I didn’t get a chance to have lunch before my appointment and looking at that loaf made my tummy grumble in hunger. Butter that up!
That looks delicious!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, will definitely try it!

Apparently it’s International Cat Day. I’d say make sure to spoil your cat, but mine’s very spoilt already.

Ohhh, he bustin’ out!
I love him!
He loves you too!
The Herald Scum are at it again. According to them firefighters are being offered a “whopping pay increase”. 12% over four years - which means 3% a year. Wow, less than half the current inflation rate, how outrageous. 😡
Had a chat with my boss, and I apologised for listening to things. He said that it’s fine to listen to things, just not to have my phone out. So podcasts and music are back on the menu boys!
good news
Exercises for this morning were completed, and to my surprise the Elder Minipeeler asked shyly if he could join me! It was a good teaching moment about not going at it too hard when you’re beginning with exercises so you don’t hurt yourself and get disillusioned, and doing 10ish minutes a day is a good habit to get into no matter what age or ability you are. He also showed me some exercises he’s been taught at school!Let’s see if he joins me again tomorrow or starts his own thing!
This is so adorably wholesome!!
Shout out to daycare for being a pit of germs. He’s been in 1 bloody day and Im already fighting off some stupid cold thing.
Your immune system is about to see shit it hasn’t ever seen. Best of luck, stock up on hydralyte and panadol.
@Eagle @TinyBreak and if you don’t have it yet get a standing script for Ondasetron from your GP. Saved my ass 3 times in the first 12 months of my daughters many illnesses (yes, pretty much everything came from childcare, possibly one from swimming class) the one time I didn’t have it with me was miserable and the first time I had worshipped at the porcelain throne since pregnancy (which, fortunately, I only had to once… yes I was very lucky)…
Yeah thats the one bright side to this illness, at least its not vomiting or shitting myself.
In 12 to 18 months you’ll be invincible.
New fave baby age unlocked: he’s 9 months and when I put on a silly voice for a toy he thinks the toy is talking to him 🥲🥲🥲
3 months is pretty good when they start to smile at you though.
Very true 🥲 The spoiler alert is they are cuteness overload at every age hehe
Curse my stupid healthy sleep routine for making me miss the cool
alienspace junk. I’m feeling awake and refreshed, but at what cost?It’s okay guys. The prawns were NOT on the counter. They were defrosting in the fridge. The years are getting to me and I can’t remember shit and now I can’t find my glasses. God save me.
I’m always saying to myself, "If they’re not on your face they’re in the case" to get me to put them back in the case when not in use. Doesn’t work, I’m often leaving them in some random place!
Lol it’s definitely not how it works. I try to put them in the few usual spots but there’s always the exception where I feel adventurous and try something else 😂
Omg are you me?
Now you can have prawns to celebrate!! Isn’t it so good that it wasn’t the other way around? What will you be making? 🍽
Yes true. Probs just a simple garlic chilli prawno.
I’ve always thought of prawns as a finicky, difficult dish but since starting to use frozen prawns I’ve realised how they can actually be simple enough
Depends on what you want to make I guess but seafood in general is pretty quick to cook and can be a really simple meal if you’re not fussed.
Once mine fell on the floor next to my computer, and the arms camouflaged perfectly with black mouse / keyboard cables etc. It took me a long time to find them that time - if you haven’t found them yet, good luck!
Thanks lol I found them right on my desk but I actually don’t normally leave them there so that’s a new one but it was still a big duh.
If I killed 3 people and seriously wounded another accidently with my cooking my face would be puffy from crying and my body would be so incapacitated that I would not be able to move from the couch.
Just don’t go scrounging around for mushrooms to munch, and you should be safe lol
Do you know what I reckon she’s done? She’s grabbed a toadstool from the back yard and mixed it into the Coles packaged mushrooms, fried em up. Dig in. Bon appetit.
I wouldn’t be surprised tbh. What an idiot. Like, at least buy them from the dealer down the road and have a fun trip. Don’t grab the fatal ones from your yard. Some people 🙄
It’s quite possible it was completely accidental and she still doesn’t care because she hates them because they treated her like a servant.
It would not surprise me if they collected the mushrooms themselves and asked her to cook them.
That’s actually a good theory. She could’ve been hesitant to cook them and wouldn’t let the kids eat them.
if it were my relos they would never heed my warnings
I note the victims were in one of those baptist cults. They are pretty misogynistic , so I bet they wouldn’t listen to her if she said something.
Also possible they wouldn’t share the mushrooms because there weren’t enough
There was a legitimate big bang about 40 mins ago and I heard it hooray. Apparently something entering the atmosphere.
Videos people got are pretty impressive.
Is that what that was? Loll
Edit: i thought it was my sliding door rattling in the wind lol whoa the videos are insane!
The starchy spud too

Link?
@StudChud @calhoon2005 I’m going to bet it was a Starlink satellite, based on this:
Might be able to verify if people using Starlink lost internet…
A comment on the r/ thread suggests it’s a stage from a Russian launch.
@calhoon2005
my conjecture is based also on the fact that’s been a peak in solar activity, a, G1-G2 level event:https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Geophysical/2/1
which has potential to knock out satellites unintentionally, as opposed to expected launch stages, though the path for that seems to make potential sense too.
Most unintended re-entries of Starlink seem to be more dramatic with disintegration, so a different kind of item eg Russian, might well make sense, but here’s a confirmed Starlink satellite entering over Puerto Rico, for comparison:
Anyone else here old enough to remember Skylab??
I’m jealous I missed out, that looks GORGEOUS!
Expert reckons space junk, which could definitely include a Starlink. Jelly & wish I had seen it too, not like I wasn’t getting woken up almost hourly last night by either cat or toddler. Hmph.
That was neat. Thanks
I don’t have anywhere/anyone else to show this to, but I caught a shiny Magikarp in Magikarp Jump. I named her Audrey.
So cute!!
She truly is! She didn’t win a jump league, but seeing her swim by in my pond, on her well earned retirement, is reward enough.
Imagine golden gyrados 🤤
Excuse me, shiny Gyrados is red tyvm
Get on my level, I’m a pokemon master, son
Okay, but now I’m picturing a Goldy Gary anyway and it’s kind of amazing. I mean, the red is great, but still!!
Ugh, mornings. Should be illegal
Current pet peeve: Repeated doorbell ringers.
I’m not talking the “press button, wait , try again” kind, I’m talking about the utter bastards who will press the button, then if you have the temerity to not IMMEDIATELY open the door to their vaunted presence will hit the button again. And again. And again. And again.
My desk is less than 6m (EDIT: I just measured with my rolling tape for shits and it’s actually 4.785m from my desk, to the office door, out the door and then back down the hall) from the front door. If you ring the doorbell more than once in the time it takes me to get from my desk to said door I should be legally permitted to beat you with a chair.
Similar problem at work. IT, but we are -not- helpdesk/support.
Have a few frequent flyers who will continually just keep knocking on our (locked) door, constantly, no pauses, until someone turns up. Don’t even have the decency to knock and wait at least 3 seconds.
Inevitably it’s something they should be calling the helpdesk for (no we cannot reset your password or create a shared calendar for you) or they want to ‘just borrow’ some random cable that we’ll never see again. They get all huffy when sent away, but it keeps happening.
So thankful we won the fight with management to be allowed to lock our door, it was even worse in the before times…
Sorry that triggered a rant… :|
if they’re frequent flyers flag it with their managers. Make sure to couch it as friendly concern for the poor poor

I had a little nap. Woke up 2 hours later. We ate bread for dinner. No more bread left.
be prepared 💨💨💨
Oh it’s already started. There’s a war on.
next time leave the bread in the oven another ten minutes , turn the heat down a little if it’s getting too brown
