The eldest daughter is staying at her boyfriend’s parents house this weekend, which just left 1, who got invited to a sleepover last night. So we got naughty with 2 generous slabs of Tassie salmon in a honey mustard glaze, cooked to crispy on the outside, with potatoes and green beans and a simple spinach/rocket, tomato, onion, avocado salad. Chased it down with a couple of chocolate lava cakes out of the Woolies freezer. Having the house to ourselves is incredibly rare, so when it happens we play up like second hand whipper snippers!

Not solely, but it’s certainly helping.

I used to do a ton of cast iron over the fire cooking, but it’s honestly such a pain to try to control the fire and cook at the same time that I got lazy and now I just use the gas burner. Unless I’m doing something slow, like a stew. Dangit, why didn’t I do a stew??? Going to have to go back!

Just back from 3 nights in the bush with the main squeeze at our all time favourite spot, and this is our traditional “last night of camping” dinner. Blistered cherry tomatoes, butter seared mushrooms and asparagus, steak and blue cheese (this time she found a nice beef tenderloin and cut it into steaks), served on a bed of rosti (though powdered mashed potatoes does ok too!). Since we always have more steak than we need, the leftovers get sliced up and turned into steak and egg sandwiches the next morning before packing up, but I failed to snap any of that.

If you know where we are, consider yourself blessed and keep it to yourself! 😉

Only got one action shot:

I believe ted cruz has the most punchable face in politics. I don’t even think you’d hurt your hand. It just looks soft and squishy.

masculine examples are Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Joe Rogan…

Donald Trump…

I’d argue that none of these people are men. Just as stupid people often try to pretend to be what they think a smart person is, these spineless cowards pretend to be what they think a strong man is, but actually have no idea.

Medicare used to be a point of pride for us as a nation, now it’s more of an embarrassment. We’re making fantastic progress on our path to becoming America Junior.

No, trump is the fire. And everyone who normalises and excuses him are the dog.

And then they convince themselves it was their perseverence and gumption that resulted in all their success, which enables them to look down on anyone who isn’t successful, because clearly they just lack perseverence and gumption.

Not as stupid as the people who continue to support and vote for him.

When somebody says the 2A crowd I think it’s pretty unambiguous who they’re talking about, it’s certainly not anyone on the left.

I won’t be physically participating in any resistance because I left the US almost 10 years ago and I’m never going back. But if I can help remotely, even if it’s just adding to the chorus of voices begging Americans to wake the fuck up, then I will. What’s your excuse for being a keyboard warrior?

In a shocking turnaround that nobody could have predicted, the 2A crowd are the tyrants! 🤯

Love some good fish and chips. Eldest daughter and her boyfriend both just started working at an old school fish and chip joint near here and they make some seriously good potato scallops. Their life choices are terrible for me 😕.

Can you believe, my poor dumb friend doesn’t even know what’s up with all the moth/silence of the lambs posts? 🤣

Just for fun, how would you explain it to them? 🤔

A public bitchfight between the two least credible dipshits in the world? I’m here for it!

I remember one time I ran out of deodorant and had to use my wife’s. The whole day at work every now and again I’d catch a whiff of myself and my lizard brain would shriek WOMAN!!! until I realised it was just me.

Yup. All these reports acting like musk stepping away means the crisis is over but the damage is already done. Could take years or decades to figure out what he’s done while he had unrestricted access to all those systems, and what’s still in his possession and what access he still has now.

That’s a bit unfair. trump is the world’s worst enemy.

Trump realising that doge was trump-level bullshit is my favourite leopards eating faces story ever.

Never really thought about it this way, but my wife’s little piggies do have a lot of personality!
