Hopefully you’re through the worst of it. I found day 3 the most severe, then things started to improve.

Ever since Covid began, I’ve lost all sense of how long ago things happened. I DID have to correct someone at a hui yesterday who talked about “the 1-and-a-half years of Covid”. 😬

It's been there for quite a few years now. I've only been once since it changed, as we prefer Siam Spoon.

So many options! What food do you like? Siam Spoon or Sabaidee for excellent Thai. Buddha Stix for fusion. Soprano or La Bella Italia for Italian …

Hopefully Mister Wilfred's surgery does the trick and he's not in pain. Good luck giving him his medicine tonight. We gave up with Casey after she repeatedly frothed at the mouth and held it for more than a minute before spewing it back up each night - even with four clothes pegs on her scruff.

I spent most of the weekend mulling over a big decision that ended up making itself for me yesterday. Sometimes things work out as they're meant to.

Thank you! I'll try it this week and post pics if it works. Otherwise, we'll quietly dispose of the evidence and chalk it up to experience. 😋

Good point. I never thought of cooking them together. So wait until the cake is completely cooked, then pour marshmallow over the top to set?

So not separately? Do I keep the cake in the tin or put it back in once it's cooled?

I have half a pack of raspberry jelly crystals in the pantry. I see lots of people making the retro marshmallow shortcake we had as kids, but wonder if I can make a large round marshmallow disc using a cake tin and put it on top of a vanilla cake. Bakers, will this work? #baking #marshmallow #cake 🎂

I may need a nap before going tonight. Or just some (more) quiet time to psych myself up for a crowd. #introvert #HappierAtHome

My 16-year-old nephew is learning Sir Duke on bass for his next NCEA L2 performance music assessment. We spent an hour tonight listening to the bass lines of Stevie Wonder songs. So proud of this gorgeous young man. 🎶

Paid ~$600 to get my car released from 3 weeks of WOF purgatory. She's 16 years old and really needs to hang in there for another year or two. So glad to have her back. 🚗

A small bread-and-butter project done and dusted. Doesn't have the same satisfaction as delivering a major contract, but it got me through another quiet month. #ContractorLife

Well, we can certainly provide cooler weather. Today is actually shaping up to be cool and fine so will photograph better than yesterday's dreary rain.

Mine is a carousel, so difficult to photograph. Herbs: mixed herbs, rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, bay leaves, tarragon. Spices: cumin, coriander, mixed spice, allspice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, smoky paprika, cayenne pepper, white and black pepper, garlic powder, garam masala ...

I saw an ambulance go past my bus, followed by fire service and then more police. Amazing that both directions were jammed for so long.

Yikes! I never gave it a thought as I hopped on a bus after an onsite meeting, expecting to be back working from home within 15 mins. Scary how vulnerable out roading network is, even for isolated incidents.

Good description. I find English muffins dry and prefer making bagels. These crumpets are made similar to pancakes but include yeast and the bubbles are a major feature. I’ll definitely make them again for a weekend breakfast.

They were stuck to the couch until about 9pm. I was too tired to do the dishes after that so just went to bed. Oops, THEY were too tired. Or so I’m told. 😉
