Risotto. Tomatoes and cheesy with olives. Simple and filling.

Also I ordered a busy people's box from Fairfeed and it's arriving tomorrow. 50 bucks for two serves each of soup, 2 mains and a side. Hoping I can use that in place of takeaway for late work nights

I do something similar just in a normal pot. Kidney or red beans soaked. You can pop the in boiling water and let sit for an hour if you weren't organised enough to do it 8 hours before.

Boil beans for about 30 mins until half cooked. Then strain.

In that same saucepan add a Bit of oil, onions, tomato (or half a tin of tomatoes) brown rice, paprika and some stock powder and black pepper. Chili if you want

Budget 1:1 rice to beans and 2:1 water to rice mix. Add more at the end if you need.

Other then the veg all things you can buy in bulk and store. Really filling. Good mix of protein and carbs. Add some frozen veg through or cook and have some on the side. I find broccoli is the best at filling you up.

+1 for Fira Code

This is the way.

Welcome aboard the good ship Tux 🐧

Yeah sounds like it was something similar. CloudFlare showed spikes in BGP announcements (the Border Gateway Protocol - basically how each network node knows it's neighbours and the route through that neighbourhood) when the system went down. So Optus stopped telling the world it existed and everything updated around it, shutting it out from the internet.

Mushroom risotto...onion garlic mushies, half a cup of rice, splash of wine, water and stock. With a good handful of parmesan at the end.

Added a dollop of creme fraiche toward the end because I happened to get some from the market last weekend. Extra creamy.

No pics cause it's in may belly.

I miss my mum. She's been dead a few years now, and was elderly and in poor health. And I am a grown up. But sometimes I just want to be able to lay down next to her again and feel safe. I really miss her.

I will be ok. Just needed to tell someone. And if I tell anyone here in my real world they will want to make it better or something and it can't be. It just is.

it is slow social media

Yeah good point. Which is good. It just takes some getting used to.

A little thing. I had a rest day today. Read my book. Watched some old tv. Felt sad but managed to get myself out for a walk. I am so terrified of slipping back into depression I struggle to rest. But I stopped and looked at my to-do list I made for the weekend and I did it all. And I rested.

Just wanted to write that down so I remember it's ok

Beautiful summary. One of my favourite classics.Theres so much depth and the conversation about faith between Ivan and Alexie has stayed with me for years

Big hugs. Dogs are the best people. It sounds like you did right by him and gave him a gentle send off. That's nice

You got this. I have committed to myself to go and get a proper checkup and bloods in a couple of months (life is HECTIC at the moment)..and I am kinda dreading the cholesterol readings. Got heart disease in the fam and I am getting to that age. See ya back here for boot camp in November?
