Looks like something from a fancy restaurant, you missed your calling
yum, that looks incredible
what temp is your oven, it looks very hot
and the base looks delicious an fairly thin. How long does it take to cook?
Out damn. That looks amazing!
I have the new Ted Cat photos. :) he has a slow eating bowl otherwise he inhales his food
spoiler
here he is in his mullet glory , it's just growing back like that, a big dark stripe growing down his back 🤭
spoiler
Now I'm thinking of him and Bill Cat looking like the human Bill and Ted. Bill Cat with long shaggy metalhead hair and Ted Cat with a mullet
I'm trying to get some pics of Bill and Ted together. They are excellent to each other now. 🤗😸😸
Last night we went to Ravenna Gorge Christmas market, not too far from Freiburg. It. Was. AWESOME. It’s under a train viaduct thing that gets lit up in various colours. It was so atmospheric and fun, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you’re in Germany at Christmas market time.
Germany at Christmas is magic. I spent an amazing Christmas in Nuremberg about 20 years ago. Snow, Christmas lights, Tannenbaum's, glühwine.... So so nice. Enjoy
This really does highlight just how underwhelming Christmas is Australia. Here the local councils and shopping centers throw up some cheap plastic decorations and say yeah that'll do.
Sitting here contemplating flipping a coin as to whether I'll go for an overnight road trip border adventure but realised I need to get out of this apartment so the answer is already Go.
I'm in trouble for daring to use a laptop on my lap. Don't I know laps are for cats?
Gah! Just found out something I purchased 3 days ago went on sale literally hours after I bought it.
Can’t do much since it’s a digital product but it has left me a bit sour.
On the bright side it was worth it for full price so it takes the edge off at least.
Curiosity Expo! Will I come home with a taxidermied warthog or a steampunk muppet hat?
Yeah, after repeated soaking and washing these blankets still smell. They really let that shit get baked in there. I may also be looking at a new pet pram.
Feeling understimulated but lazy and my hand hurts from scrolling. I don't want to practice real art stuff. I just want to shitpost and trace memes. Bored.
What are these Hot Take days?
Never underestimate how a simple meal of toast and peanut butter.
Feels heavy in my tummy.
Ted Cat has good days and bad days. He still bites sometimes. ( and not nips either 😬) but generally he's a lot calmer and I think a bit happy His fur is growing back nicely, into a cat mullet . I'll try to get some pics :)
I need twenty pics ASAP. The presidents life depends on it
Spent the day in the sun, and despite taking precautions I've made myself sun sick... Smothering myself in aloe and climbing into bed with an ungodly amount of water.
Carol and the end of the world on netflix is a such a sweet and life-affirming show. Highly recommend!
I'm making mini cheesecakes because why not?
I bought a really nice mud cake to bring along to the neighborhood Christmas party tonight. I just stare at it occasionally and think about keeping it all to myself now.😭
Stubbed my big toe yesterday on a door while closing it. Can't walk on it and it fucking hurts. Been icing it and resting all day. Hopefully it's not broken, but I'm still gonna be stuck home resting because of it either way.
Wishing today won't get any worse...
Omg Aldi duck fat potatoes are back and they are divine. They need to sell these all year round.
Anyone else find Xmas stressful
And tiring as well. I've definitely lost sleep, yes.
I splurged on Valhalla Old English Toffee ice cream from Leo's. Truly excellent decision, spectacular ice cream.
I think I made a mistake with my pie. I had a tart dish where you can remove the bottom, but I thought it was too small so I went and bought a glass pie dish. I put the biscuit base direct on the glass and now I’m worried it’s going to be stuck. I should have put down baking paper first. Worst comes to worst, dessert will be a deconstructed pie.
Coffee has a tendency to go right through me sometimes.
I've been on decaf for three weeks now and I gotta say my gut has never been better. Sads.
It’s pretty common. Definitely can make me want to relieve myself way more often.
Over the last couple of hours I've applied butter (salted cow butter) to my face and forearms as something of an experiment. I've got a couple of excma spots in of each of my elbows, which is rare for me. I'll update in near future!
Spotify has decided I need a mix of Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, Rodriguez and Fantastic Negrito as a salve for the week. This is excellent
Oh hey bot good to see. I have a little hack for you. Next time you're at a Christmas party and everyone is enjoying karaoke using Spotify through the the telly (I don't know how it happens. I go out for a smoke and magic happens) and the lyrics aren't synced, open it on your phone and tap on the lyrics a couple of times and the music then syncs to the lyrics and you'll be an accidental hero like Steven Bradbury. You are welcome.
Warner out for a duck :/

Marnus copped a nasty one on the pinky.
Ya and is now out too :(

Have too many celebrations to attend this weekend. So could I please have 2 extra days and a potful of coffee please.
Apologies. Time is not available for purchase at this hour. We have substituted your order with coffee 🫖🫖🫖
Hungry. Want foodz.
Edit: have now had foodz. Crisis averted.
