As far as strawberry cheesecake goes, I’m pretty impressed by my efforts. Candles and singing later, I just made sure it survived the trip out of the tin.
wow
So when is afternoon tea?
That looks so good, I would be digging into that right away if I saw it at a bday event.
Oh my God.
Amazing!
Yummmmm!
Gimmie!
That looks amazing, well done!!!
Looks great!
That looks amazing! And I don’t even like cheesecake
Looks professional 👌
Thankyou all for the uplifting! Birthday song has been sung, cake has been cut and it is delicious and will feed us for a few days if we’re not piggies. Who am I kidding,…
yaay tomorrow is my birthday and I’ll be damend if I’m gonna have another shit one.
last year was a disaster, year before was just…fucked and the one before that I literally got evicted.
This one better be nice or I’m gonna bite its head off
Happy happy birthday 🎂
It. had. Better. Be.
IT WILL BE positive vibes yeah.
oh I’m past vibing and deep into threat territory at this point. My FIL already tried to fuck it
I’ll send an evil eye his way. Go ahead and enjoy your weekend.
Have put in a word to the Universe on your behalf.
cheers
Happy Birthday. 🎂🍾🥂💐💰🎁😽👄
It should be easier to have a comparatively better birthday but I hope you have a great one!
Comparatively is a very dangerous word to use here. We’re talking an event that does include my grandfather literally dying in the middle of my 18th birthday party and (another year) ME almost dying (not hyperbole. I spent my 33rd birthday in the ICU with a 10% chance of survival.)
hugs, happy you survived
life is good 😽
Shit, I’m sorry to hear that. I didn’t realise things were so bad. I hope this one’s a good one at least
Honesty at this point I just don’t want another hot water tank explosion.
Yes, that has happened. At this point I just fucking laugh

Happy birthday eve! 🎂🐈
Rehearsal at my place was awesome!!!
Was nice having people over which doesn’t happen a lot because of where I live.
Awesome night!
yay 😊😊😊
We got new disco lights. It’s hard to take a pic cos it’s going fast. They are wicked.
not quite disco but it’s got a great beat 😊
Seemed to go ok! I’ve made it to the next round!!!
Which is case study (nice way of saying roleplay) with 2 senior staff acting like clients.
Odd but will be interesting.
YAY!!! Good luck with that!

Alrighty.
On my way now. Will be almost an hour early but that’s my standard MO. Can sit around and have a coffee and mess around on my iPad before hand.
Fingers crossed!
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Toes crossed too!
pics or it didn’t happen
🤣
They’re crossed, but i don’t want to steal CEOs enterprise.
😹
Good luck 🤞🤞🤞
You’ve got this dude!!!
Good luckkkk to your interviewers that their company is appealing to you 🙏
Just went outside on this glorious day for a break - and met a bloke walking his new golden retriever puppy. 16 weeks old and all paws and ears and goodwill to all mankind. Made my day.
Your day is made, it can’t get any better!
Mr Woof seems to be recovering from the trauma of his bath today.
aw, he looks very sad
He’s so damn cute!!!
How could you?!
Good job Mr Byte, you’ve been doing great with the posting lately. Keep this up and your next performance review will be very positive.
“Attendance - Above average” ✅

If not, we’ll have to organise a performance management plan…
Half the band are coming over to practice because the drummer hurt his hand. Be nice to have people over!
And of course,
Cheers🍻
Mickey has been way more cuddly and needy than usual, somehow. I think he knows something is happening soon (out trip and his stay in the cattery).
I don’t want to leave my big baby 😭😭
aw, you’ll be back, and it will be like a holiday for him too, he’ll make new cat friends and have new servants 😊

Wedges w/ sour cream and sweet chilli would be # 1 for me.
Jacket potato with butter, cheese, sour cream, bacon and spring onion, chilli, pepper & salt would be mine.
Oh and you forgot baked and croquettes and…
I have the family circle one, and the potato covered scotch egg meatloaf is a regular feature on our menu.
Do you recall when it was a magazine and kids cuckoo club?
Nope, I think i inherited the cookbook from my mums then partners kitchen (after his wife moved out… complicated times!)
I have this one from across the ditch
There maybe more.

Where is microwave’d potato? This is a farce
Travesty
Impossible. I’d give a different answer depending on my hunger level, hormones, companion, or it just being a Tuesday.
I’m with you - it’s impossible to rank
Roast potato. The crispy edges are delicious.
Mashed potatoes. Nothing nicer with home made gravy.
Chips with mayo from the fritkot off Grande Place.
Roasted potato has to be on top, but hot chips (not shoestring, proper hot chips deep fried) and potato chips are close behind. I like a good wedge with sour cream too, and mashed potato has its place.
Now I really want potato.
Shoestring fries are probably my favourite. But they’re unhealthy so need to be eaten in moderation, same for crisps.
Wedges can be risky. I’ve had a bunch that haven’t been cooked well. They’re easy to prepare at home but isn’t that just kinda a rustic style roast?
Mashed, serves a purpose as a side, base or pie crust. You can zhoosh it up with things like cheese, garlic and bacon then feed it to your GF while she’s having a hard time.
Roast - Classic.
Boiled - Intermediary state. Reminds me of of culinary devoid Irish grandma.
Scollop potato Like a cheese and potato bake, makes me think of celebratory meals, eg. xmas.
Potato Gratin. Tried the aldi one once and it was okay but one of my favourite things about potato is that it’s cheap.
I raise you on culinary devoid gran – pressure cooked broccoli = grey mush
Baked potato is best.
However the potato variety in Australia is pretty bad.
Proper baking potatoes (Russett?) and Yukon Gold potatoes for mashing are top tier.
Y’all can argue, but you’d be wrong.
I won’t argue. I reckon potato quality has been declining for years. I’ve tried all the supermarket ones and ones from green grocers and I just can’t replicate the fluffiness and flavour of baked or roast potatoes I remember from decades ago. Where. Are. The. GOOD. Potatoes.
S’cuse me teacher, I do not understand your question. Can you please explain your question in more detail regarding ranking?

Hey, I’m having all the feels about this. Things like Myers–Briggs I get different results on different days. Stupid questions like the library/party one. I work in a bloody library this question does not work.

I have a house of mash potato loving fiends, so most days I cook mash. Myself I am partial to roast potatoes and who doesn’t love a shoestring fry. Wedges as a side to a robust manly meal like brisket, and I will admit to loving a boiled or even microwaved spud with salt, butter and chives. I make a beautiful potato scallop bake, never got on the gratin train but love a potato rosti. My favourite crisps are original salted crinkle cut. There is no bad potato in my book. The perfect addition to any meal in any form.
I took a photo of a green sea anemone in a rock pool , it was about 10 cm big. Pretty sure the anemones in this pool are normally a light gold colour, I think it was green from eating all the chlorophyl from the sea lettuce washed up in the storm.
I’m not sure this post reproduces how beautifully translucent green this creature was.

They’re not my anemone. They’re my friend
They are. 😊 also, I think the photo I took is pretty good. It’s just an old iPhone 7
the water is so clear and there is practically no reflection off the surface
Oh that’s a great find. Beautiful. And so nice to be a regular visitor to a spot so that you start to see little treasures 😊

I am upset at the question because I have run out of potatoes. Reminding me of this terrible turn of events is cruel and unusual punishment.

they will be back after second dinner
Feels like -3.2o outside. I am informed all cars in the carpark are covered in ice. Which means I have to sit in my car defrosting for a while before I can go home 😭
