Yarrabyte is taking a self care day

Interesting watch. I’m too young to have got the bread and dripping and didn’t have chokos but some of these are definitely familiar and weren’t bad.

Edit: They forgot the bread and butter pudding and the golden syrup dumplings.

If you have a surplus of lemons

This is a cheap way to have a big jug of cold drink that isn’t just plain water. It can be black or green tea and you can add lemon slices

Ok, it looks like a heatwave is coming this week from Tuesday to Friday?

Different sources (my UV warning app and search engine preview sourced from Apple Weather) especially put Wednesday at 40C and Friday at 35C.

Is that what you guys are seeing? BOM site doesn’t seem to work properly on my phone to check this reliably but be warned I guess.

Make sure to have icy poles and drink enough, get your ice cubes started. Check on the elderly, make sure your cooling is working if you have it, keep pets inside and make sure they don’t get heat stress or burn paws on asphalt when they go on a walk.

I used to love this one, a very mild fruity curry. Fine for kids.

Don’t worry about getting hold of apricot nectar or couscous as substitutions are very easily made. I used to use orange juice instead and serve it over rice. I think I’ve seen generic brand tinned mango.

Chicken thighs could also be used instead of breast (if you’re willing to skin and cut them into strips or pieces) to make this dish cheaper.

Edit: If meat is still too expensive you could also just add browned cubes of pressed tofu or a handful of cashew or peanuts, or pad it out with broccoli

It’s soup weather. I can’t have tomato or cheese anymore but am randomly craving minestrone.
