Risotto. Tomatoes and cheesy with olives. Simple and filling.

Also I ordered a busy people’s box from Fairfeed and it’s arriving tomorrow. 50 bucks for two serves each of soup, 2 mains and a side. Hoping I can use that in place of takeaway for late work nights

Ohh two days of 30 degrees coming up after all this rain. It’s gonna be STEAMY

I made the black beans from this https://youtu.be/bnO7xZeUYvI?feature=shared with roasted sweet potato and avocado and a bit of cheese. With a beer…

Ohh there’s some good stuff in there.

I am hoping for a big fat pub steak (treat night)

Roasted pan full of tomatoes onion and garlic. Salt and pepper and paprika. Olive oil and vinegar. Bake until yummy.

Will half blitz and put through some pasta.

My eyelids were so itchy all day. Stayed inside. Have been eating low allergy stuff all week. Aargh. Is this just a hell hayfever season or what?

chana masala from here https://www.leannebrown.com/chana-masala/

Lots of great ideas for cheap easy meals

I made the chana masala tonight. Was great

I do something similar just in a normal pot. Kidney or red beans soaked. You can pop the in boiling water and let sit for an hour if you weren’t organised enough to do it 8 hours before.

Boil beans for about 30 mins until half cooked. Then strain.

In that same saucepan add a Bit of oil, onions, tomato (or half a tin of tomatoes) brown rice, paprika and some stock powder and black pepper. Chili if you want

Budget 1:1 rice to beans and 2:1 water to rice mix. Add more at the end if you need.

Other then the veg all things you can buy in bulk and store. Really filling. Good mix of protein and carbs. Add some frozen veg through or cook and have some on the side. I find broccoli is the best at filling you up.

Pizza. Usually make the bases but picked up some at the shop today because I was not feeling it.

Topped with tomato pasta sauce, onion, capsicum, mushies, salami and an obscene amount of mozzarella. Nomnomnom.

The lamb version yesterday reminded me I had beef osso bucco in the freezer - here 'tis with broccoli and hidden cheesy polenta

+1 for Fira Code

This is the way.

Welcome aboard the good ship Tux 🐧

Old veggie sghetti…

Basically roasted a bag of cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic and some zucchini that was getting past prime. Lots of salt and pepper. Mixed through pasta with fetta. Added a tin of tuna because my brain has been foggy and I think I might need to up my protein game.

And because I can’t estimate I have heaps for lunch tomorrow.

Yeah sounds like it was something similar. CloudFlare showed spikes in BGP announcements (the Border Gateway Protocol - basically how each network node knows it’s neighbours and the route through that neighbourhood) when the system went down. So Optus stopped telling the world it existed and everything updated around it, shutting it out from the internet.

Mushroom risotto…onion garlic mushies, half a cup of rice, splash of wine, water and stock. With a good handful of parmesan at the end.

Added a dollop of creme fraiche toward the end because I happened to get some from the market last weekend. Extra creamy.

No pics cause it’s in may belly.

I miss my mum. She’s been dead a few years now, and was elderly and in poor health. And I am a grown up. But sometimes I just want to be able to lay down next to her again and feel safe. I really miss her.

I will be ok. Just needed to tell someone. And if I tell anyone here in my real world they will want to make it better or something and it can’t be. It just is.

it is slow social media

Yeah good point. Which is good. It just takes some getting used to.

Thanks! Will do.
