i have a few regrets putting a heap of the old chilli crop from the freezer in the spring roll mix. It's still cooling I haven't rolled them up yet but when someone tells you "oh they lose heat'.. well I don't believe that anymore. Hawt.

Ducked out early and picked up some chicken drumsticks. Not pleased that they went up on price amoungst other things.

Now I have to think about how to cook them and if I should combine them into a pasta sauce and eat it with pasta.

In other news the sun is glorious and nice and warm and I’m about to get some toast and make a real coffee

Roast then use the bones to make stock.

Low carb day today. Which is code for "oops, I forgot to pack the bread".

Had to do the old fasting blood test before, swung by the hot bread shop on the way home and there wasn't anything in the pie warmer. :(

I settled for a pizza roll and am having a chai latte at home.

I'm treating my family to some tipsy karaoke.

My kids are impressed with the lyrical delivery but not so much the execution.

Couldn't sleep so I watched Babylon.

I fell asleep happy thereafter.

I have no idea why middle america got offended, it's what they want, it's what they vote for, it's who they are. Exploitation and amorality with no judgement . Reality is not pretty.

A mirror, a modern picture of dorian grey.

The dwarf on a cock pogo stick was inspired.

I give it 4.5 hobbitses.

Sorry I know it feels like I've talked about nothing but the same thing all day but I just came back from dinner and I will need a BIG sleep.

It is star struck at meeting a real god and wants your autograph?

Quite often it prompts me to do the same, but it seems to remember I'm already logged in after 5 seconds or so

I'm up dancing and drinking wine
I don't care, care, I'm feelin' fine
This is me and if you don't like it
I don't know what to tell ya
This is all that I am, this is it

The world is ending, we have front row seats
I'm dancin' dancin' and this is it
Sing with me
Love you

I present to you Dinner tonight.

Pasta with chicken from drumsticks in bolognaise sauce.

Will freeze the drumstick bones and then make stock out of them after I’ve cooked them all.

So…apparently there are four missing people in a Defence chopper crash. Their families have woken up to something fucking horrible.
