I made it for a new year party and it was a hit! So going to impress different friends with it.

Here’s the recipe I use. I don’t bother with the cream topping for a pie I need to transport and want to make the day before eating, and it’s still very nice without it. But I’d do it for a home pie.

And there’s usually some leftover chocolate filling you can eat on its own.

Last time I did a biscoff base instead of Oreo like the recipe calls for, this time I’ll try the Oreo.

I love making sweet pies haha

What a shitty week. Work finally done, going to go for a walk to soak up the last of the warmth. Then I need to make my chocolate pie for a friends dinner tomorrow, will have a beer during to make the process more fun. THEN I can relax.

Those are very valid reasons, benefiting others and most importantly your health. I’m lucky that I never took up smoking even though I was surrounded by friends / family who smoked. So I don’t have any advice to share except you got this!

Yesterday was a terrible anxiety ridden day that I wish to forget so going for a morning walk before getting stuck into work. It’s perfect out.

The rain has stopped and best sky pretty I’ve seen in a while

I just picked up $2 that I found on the floor. Would you do this or did I stoop to a new low?

I got bitten by a spider in my sleep a couple nights ago. I haven’t turned into Spiderman (yet) but the itching is crazy. I tried applying vinegar on the bite, which is what happened to me growing up when I got bitten by mozzies. It worked a bit but doesn’t last long enough, have just purchased something stronger from the pharmacy.

I’m in a t-shirt and pants this morning, and to my surprise I noticed a lot of jumpers / coats being worn on my way to the office. The only change I’ve made so far is from shorts to pants, and it’ll be shorts weather again by this arvo.

At least you give some details, that would have been enough for me. This person gave me absolutely nothing except her name and company, and it’s not someone I had ever dealt with.

I receive a call from a random QLD landline number.

Person: I’m [name] from [company]

Me: What’s the purpose of this call?

Person: I can’t tell you, first I need to confirm your identity.

You call ME and can’t tell me why you’re calling until I divulge my personal information? I told this person you can say something very generic about the call reason just so I can confirm you are who you say you are before I hand over my PI, but she refused citing their stupid policies. So I ended the call.

Motivation was 0 today but I vacuumed and mopped everywhere, dusted, cleaned surfaces & sofa, cleaned bathroom, changed the sheets and washed the old sheets. My house really needed the reset.

No way I’m cooking after all that so out for a souvo & beer.

Was thinking another beach day to round out summer but the current temp in Geelong is 23.9 whereas it’s 34.7 at Essendon Airport. That’s a wild difference.

I suppose I should clean my place today, but I don’t wanna.

I usually snooze a couple of times before getting up. Some days I have a phone scrolling session in bed which is a terrible way to start a day, but I’ve been working on doing that a lot less.

I had no idea what the movie was about or even the genre going into it, thought it was a thriller, it was not. Made me squirm in parts but overall I enjoyed it and Demi was awesome in it.

Haha not really, perhaps someone in this demographic installed the system and set the office temp to Antarctica thinking we’d all like it.

I came prepared with a jacket today! Me - 1, freezing office AC - 0. Feels ridiculous wearing a jacket when it’s so warm out.

Yep, one or two days of warm weather is fine but however many days in a row it’s been now, too much. Also, it’s a constant battle to keep my place cool.

Nice outdoor searing area! With that lovely garden bed to look over. I see a fire pit too.

Electric, better clean

Sandwiches, especially with toasted bread.
