Good night everyone. Sweet dreams. 😘
yay, I went to the beach with my new gum boots. The tide was out and I was adventurous and walked right out across the sand flats to the far rocks that are usually well underwater.
here’s a pic looking back at the shore 😊
ok, lets get more stuff done 👍

omg, I think I had a dream/nightmare about edna eveage
I have so many questions, but am afraid to ask any
all I remember is the glasses and I don’t think there was more to it, just saw weird glasses on a table and thought edna everage
Cuddling with my warm fuzzy baby. Her bunny soft fur, her warm comforting bulk, her sweet good natured face. I love my cat so much and kiss her little head.
Well it’s official.
Hambam is now confidently an off leash walker.
I have waited for this moment for a long time.
Trick was to take him to the same park several times a day so he got over being hyper stimulated / fixated. It worked. Now he doesn’t give two shits about anything… other dogs / kids. So I have upgraded his braincell count to 3, from 2.
Nice. My tip, still keep eyes open for skateboards and electric scooters…took my doggo an extra year after graduating to off lead status before he could see those and not be bothered…
Blended the 1st chilli ferment last night. 13 day ferment. The one w/ homegrown apricots, raspberries. Surprisingly it’s actually very good. Can taste them through the heat. Never had a hawt sauce like that. Raspberries made it a nice deep red. Was going to turn the last of chillies into powder but instead going to start anothery of that today.
I think taking the chilli seeds out before the ferment (usually don’t bother) really made a difference and let the sweetness cut through. Bit time consuming but worth it.
I think I’ll get a big fast SSD for the computer to put Linux on. I might as well find things to claim in the EOFY sales because I’ve been getting tax bills the last couple of years. Might as well spend and claim
Is anyone else still having to harvest their backyard / balcony chilli plants too frequently at this wrong time of year?
Not chillis but my little tomatoes are still going
As are mine? Strawberries are making a comeback too.
I made hash browns. It just ain’t the same. Maybe brushed potatoes aren’t the best for it.
What was up with them?
I had a look and apparently brushed potatoes are often Sebago which are floury. They would get crispier than a waxy potato but maybe not hold together as well.
There’s also other stuff people do like rinsing the starch off the shreds, squeezing them bone dry with a tea towel or a ricer, and pre-heating the oil before frying.
Using enough oil also makes potatoes crunchier, as well as using a type of fat that can be heated higher. (Not butter, more something like tallow or ghee. Edit: Canola or coconut would also work.)
I’m not an expert and haven’t really made hash browns so there’s no criticism here. Just curious about the science of the process and see people talking about different methods.
Yeah did all that, I used butter and a medium heat setting on cast iron. They really didn’t turn out like I expected. My imagination has got the best of me haha.
They should be ideal. What recipie did you use?
Guys, my newly adult daughter is on an overnight bus with her friend on the way to Adelaide for a few days. I am sad but I’ll be ok.
