I’m so sorry. I hope things go as well as they possibly can for your mum and that she’s well supported

Maybe a nightlight and a heated kitty bed are in order 🥺

Edit: This one from Pawz is down to $40 from 80-ish, Temple and Webster has one on clearance at $35. This one is $46-50 at Harvey Norman, Big W, and Bunnings.

Melbcat’s was $40 at Kmart but they don’t seem to sell electric ones anymore

Man I miss cooking and eating. I wasn’t “good” but enjoyed doing it and my health has ruined all that

Damn. Maybe trial and error will help, or higher heat, or a different recipe.

There’s also r/askculinary on the other place?

Cuddling with my warm fuzzy baby. Her bunny soft fur, her warm comforting bulk, her sweet good natured face. I love my cat so much and kiss her little head.

Gorgeous photo. Spin is right, the reflection fits perfectly into the right third of the picture

Happy birthday! 🎂

Not chillis but my little tomatoes are still going

I just want somewhere safe and stable to live.

What was up with them?

I had a look and apparently brushed potatoes are often Sebago which are floury. They would get crispier than a waxy potato but maybe not hold together as well.

There’s also other stuff people do like rinsing the starch off the shreds, squeezing them bone dry with a tea towel or a ricer, and pre-heating the oil before frying.

Using enough oil also makes potatoes crunchier, as well as using a type of fat that can be heated higher. (Not butter, more something like tallow or ghee. Edit: Canola or coconut would also work.)

I’m not an expert and haven’t really made hash browns so there’s no criticism here. Just curious about the science of the process and see people talking about different methods.

Melbcat has put her tail in my coffee 🥺

Melbcat’s test results are good so I’m not sure why she’s still sooky and eating like a horse? She’s definitely off about something.

Her kidneys are a little bit worse though 😞 Makes sense. During the uti I’ve been prioritising wet food consumption for hydration, so have been leaving out the chalky phosphate binder that puts her off it. Maybe I’ll start trying to reintroduce it.

I’m glad she’s eating well though. She’s cuddled up with me and very cute.

I have no idea. Could be because you turned away or the movement attracted notice, or you were just directly in sight of the single brain cell.

That’s concerning. Fingers crossed that it’s all okay 🤞It’s also really poor that the assault wasn’t recorded. I’m hoping he gets a kick in the arse and winds up with a headache of his own.

Mine got stolen

No :( I’ve had that happen to a lovely mug (hairline crack) and it’s now serving as a pen holder

Another good trick is to stand a front loading carrier on the back end and lower them in. It’s a bit harder for them to get straight out if you’re quick

It just sounds like a warm version of (usually chilled) hwachae

It’s over Raven! I have the high ground!

Ah yes. Melbcat loves shredding cardboard

I’m really lucky that she’s pretty docile. She does go and hide in an awkward spot when she sees it come out and try to back out of the carrier when being put in, but it’s thankfully not the ordeal it is with other cats. (For those cats I use trickery.)
