    Every year people put their hard rubbish out early & a big blowy day hits. Shit gets scattered everywhere. Every year.

    I just remembered I dropped a piece of chicken last night while I was cooking. Today it is no where to be seen. 😲

    Yesterday I posted my spag ‘n’ ease dinner so thought I’d share this story wif yous. Spaghetti bolognese is my husband’s favourite of all time. If I swap the spaghetti for another pasta, there’s disappointment.

    So one day I made the bolognese and I burnt the fucker. I was so angry with myself. Told him that I was sorry and promised him I’d make another one the next day. He’s like “nah I’ll still eat it”. I explained that it’s horrible, unedible, burnt throughout. I left it on the stove to deal with it in the morning.

    I woke up and looked in the pot and it’s gone. Like all gone. So I questioned him when he got home. He told me that he had taken it, added a shitload of chilli paste to it and that it was delicious. It had sat overnight and he ate it cold. I had no words.

    The Age newspaper comes with the Good Food supplement on a Tuesday. This week they had an article on different types of yoghurt and Mrs_Owl was horrified to learn that all this time (for years) she thought she’d been buying Greek yoghurt, but instead it’s Greek-style which is much more heavily processed and padded out with thickeners and gums.

      Most Korean grocers will stock this. It’s usually in the frozen section. If you’re in the CBD or close to Carlton, I’d recommend checking out KT Mart.

    How goods a random panic attack outta nowhere?! Had a relatively good day I thought, but all of a sudden I’m struggling to breath and my heart feels like it’s skipping beats. Bit of slow breathing and I’m good again, but like, wtf brain!? We’re good. There’s no threats here. Chill out.

      Ugh, you poor bugger. I can relate as I had that happen to me for a number of years. The ones I hated most were the ones I got during the night. I’d go to bed: fine. Go to sleep: fine. Wake up at 1:30 or 2ish in the morning having a full blown panic attack as I awoke. 0/10 recommend.

        Oh no! That sounds horrific! I’ve never woken up to one thankfully. But when I was in my late teens/early 20s I’d sometimes wake up with amnesia. Not know who I was or where I was for a good 5 minutes and that was scary enough.

          Woah, that’s frightening as. Glad you don’t have to deal with that anymore!

    Sky sort of pretty, but I don’t like the forecast. Laundry might have to be Sunday unless I run out of socks.

    In other news, I have been informed that my bike is now ready to pick up from bicycle hospital. It sprang a leak in the back wheel on Wednesday which has now been fixed. For the princely sum of $40 or thereabouts. Love livin’ in the inner north.

    Housemate is home late so I said I’d do kitty medicine. Bad idea that was, the little bugger screamed like a banshee before bitting my thumb, and for all that we only managed one pill.

      Check with vet just in case, but you can totally soak thyroid meds and antibiotics in a little sour cream or churo or dine paste and the cat will maul you for the spoon.
