Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Took the lil market lasagne out of its plastic vacuum sealed bag, covered it in foil and chucked it in the oven for 30 minutes @ 180. Took off the foil at the 30 minutes, topped it with some grated cheese I had in the fridge and put it in for a further 10 minutes. Looking good.
I get it out of the oven and try to do a knife test to make sure it's cooked and the top layer of pasta seems to be uncooked! Nope.. there was a clear thickish piece of plastic on top of the lasagne which was not at all obvious. I'm pretty sure this means I shouldn't eat the lasagne even though it doesn't smell like plastic and the oven only seemed to warp it a bit rather than melt it. God damn it.
Is there an event in the city today? The 250 is hilariously packed
A bit late/early to be canvassing opinions, but has anyone been to Frankston Brewhouse? We've done all the local breweries around Mordi and Braeside so thinking of checking it out tomorrow. Cheers.
E: Great place, they've put a lot of effort into the decor and general vibe. It's clean, it's bright, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers and food. The music volume level was perfect, both in-house and when the solo and his guitar came on at 2pm. Rec.
Had a lovely birthday - walked up to the local vegan cafe for a triple cheese toastie and a chai latte, then got a small loaf of sourdough bread from the little bakery. Then did some more tidying and vacuuming before my aunt and cousin came by with birthday presents consisting of a cat themed tote bag and several bags of wood, then took me to the local Vietnamese restaurant they loved last time where we proceeded to stuff our faces. They're already making plans to come down soonish (from Rezza mind you) so they can go again... 🤣
Well done Bot! 👏
I'm only 60kms south of Melbs and it's been dark and gloomy all day I'm jealous :(
The man doesn't sound good tonight. Sounds like a cold. Anyway I'm not taking any chances I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.
