Hmm, needs more noodle lol
So…apparently there are four missing people in a Defence chopper crash. Their families have woken up to something fucking horrible.
Well, as I was telling @landsharkkidd it only takes me like 4 hours to cook two dishes, but I present a shitty photograph of tonight's dinner.
dins
Dal with watercress, a make-it-up-as-you-go-along prawn curry (frozen prawns) with snake beans and discount tomatoes, and white basmati rice cooked in the rice cooker with a couple cloves and a pod of cardamom. Top tip doing the latter will make your rice smell NEXT LEVEL delicious.
I haven't made curry in a while so the dal was a bit too watery, and the prawn curry is spicier than I thought because I just chucked in random bits of unidentified curry powder(s) from the bottom of empty jars to tidy up the spice cupboard a bit. And I'm never using Coles brand coconut milk again. But otherwise, delicious and satisfying!
Now to actually eat it.

Day 3 completed. I was nearly going to swap tomorrow's rest day with today, but I knew I'd regret it. Had to dig deeper than usual! Today I took the mini peelers to see Across the Spiderverse and then to Timezone. Timezone is getting a bit shitty; a lot of the games we like were broken or not working properly. We had some late lunch and then went to Games World and EB Games. We bought some board games (The Chameleon, Block Party and some new UNO cards to replace our very worn out ones) and I also bought the Minecraft cookbook, looks interesting and I'm looking forward to making some of the things in there. We wandered all around the place and I think we all stayed out a bit too long and we were all a bit tired! When they were little I used to have a 2 to 3 hour limit for going out. Partly I was managing my anxiety disorder and partly the kids would kind of hit the wall around that time and start to get tired and shitty of mood. I got home and the old "what's for dinner" thing started. So I made a simple dinner and just ate some veggies myself. I quite often do that, meat and veg for everyone else and veg for me. Then I exercised.
Hey, does anyone know anything about Golden Berry/Peruvian Ground cherry? Mr Peeler's cousin has a plant she wants to give me, and I don't know much about them.

Alright, time to remove myself from the nest! I've got a market to attend, a dinner party to cook and prep for, a floor to vacuum, and sheets that need changing.
