Stunning rose, but caused by the bane of all our existences: the slacklustre tradie.

Lol same, I lived with people who spent their entire food budget in a few days π€¦πΌββοΈI was living on about $25 per week but it was easier then. I'd get a bag of spuds, bag of onions, garlic, big bag of red or brown lentils, some budget cans of tomatoes, dried pasta, rice, a bag of apples, a couple of key vegetables that were cheap and in season and a couple of packets of herbs/spices (thus building a supply of herbs and spices over time available to enhance my cooking). I would combine these ingredients in different ways over the week to try to make it interesting. When it was someone's birthday I'd lash out on a King Island Brie and red wine. I've probably never eaten so well lol.
That's tragic but also understandable. Working in elite food environments and having a partner who was a chef opened my eyes to a lot of things. If the integrity of the ingredients is paramount to you then it's so hard to compromise for the sake of $.
My plan today: go to the market. My strategy is to give every member of the household a limit, say $40. The ones who want to spend more will negotiate with those who don't spend that much and it's great to see the kids in action making deals with their father and each other over who's getting what.
Out of curiosity I googled "Melbourne pie shop closing down" and.. wow, so many! Too many in the past few years π’(My local is hanging on, but business rental prices in my area have skyrocketed and a lot of shops that have been there for years have closed. Including my beloved computer repair guy who'd been there since 1986 or something.)
The sheer audacity!
Good morning everyone. Wonder how long I can get away with laying here pretending to be asleep..
Mine started like a ringworm looking thing, so I treated it accordingly and it flared up massively and popped up in a couple of other places on my biceps and thighs. Then I went to the Dr and he thought it was Impetigo so prescribed me antibiotics for a week. It did nothing and during that week spread even worse. Now I have open ulcerating wounds on my thighs and biceps, with other spots like the original ones popping up on my calves and lower arms π³π³π³
Something that's not getting as much publicity as it probably should. This got put up in the Coburg library, a friend of mine alerted me to it last night.
I'm so glad it worked out for you, sounded like you all had a blast! π€π»π€π»
Is this their new digs at the Werribee zoo? πGlad they've got more room now.
