I made a delicious soup yesterday. I roasted a butternut pumpkin, two sweet potatoes, some garlic, and half a dozen carrots for half an hour at 200C - all chopped up with some oil, salt and ground cumin. Then in a big pot, soften a diced onion in some oil, add a litre of stock, and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add the vegies to the pot and blitz with a blender until smooth. Add a bit of cream if you fancy.

Makes about 12 serves at around $1.50 per serve, and freezes well if you don't want to eat it for every meal. And you could swap out whatever roast vegies you fancy.

I sleep with the blinds open and a good sleeping mask on. I get the good deep sleep from being in the dark, and the natural light as soon as I wake up. It works for me.

I dreamt I was attacked by flying prawns. They bit me on the thigh.

My small win is apple strudel.

Hooray! Congratulations 🎊 🎉🍾

The covid vaccine comes with a free pass to sit on the couch for a while with no guilt. The cleaning can happen tomorrow. Or the next day.

Hooray!! Congrats 🍾 👏 🍾

I only wash strawberries. There's no logic involved, it's just what happens. Haven't died yet.

Probs chilling in the deli fridge with the rest of the bacon.

Nice!

They might do better with diamonds. They're meant to like shiny things, it's just convincing them to share nicely.

It's warmed up to a barmy 8C here, beating the forecast high of 7C. Luckily I have a roaring fire and I am toasty.

I resigned from a job yonks ago and the whole senior leadership team of the not-particularly-big org gave me the silent treatment for my whole notice period. I was pretty junior and they'd been treating me like shit, it can't have been surprising that I was leaving. Such strange people. It was very primary school.

Good luck with the meeting! And with the job hunting!

I mean I could but it's cold and rainy. I'll complain on the internet instead, that'll help.

Excuse me this is RUDE when I have no strudel available to me and am forced to live a strudel-less existence (until I can get to Aldi).

I don't have one but it seems worth a try.

It could be something else. But apparently the tests are less accurate with the newer strains. You might’ve been covided.

I reckon if any route is safe it's Aus-NZ. There're benefits from being at the arse-end of the earth. Nobody really cares about us, and they forget the Kiwis even exist.

I'm not a scented candle person but if there's one out there that smells like a good shiraz I would burn the shit out of that.
