How come there is no good aussie budget cooking folks on youtube? are our grocery prices just making that stuff redundant. I know americans eat like shit, but there is some real bargains in their grocery stores.
Is “Nat’s what I Reckon” not budget enough?
He puts milk in his bolognese which makes me cry.
Milk in bolognaise? Ewww sacrilege!
I do that too. Light milk though so it’s basically water.
No. Use the pasta water instead 😠
when I’m busy I’ll just chuck a spoon of powdered milk in.
😠
I think everytime I do something italian, half of italy would faint and all the nonnas would be sharpening their wooden spoons.
Mama Mia!
Havnt seen much of their stuff, but unless they are legit robbing a coles or aldi I dont see how it can be much cheaper than what i’m already doing.
I don’t know about his food, but you need to get past Nat talking like a kid who just learnt what swear words are
Yeah that’s probs a deal breaker. There’s an Aussie drain guy I’d love to watch but just can’t get past the forced Aussie accent. I grew up in the country, I hate the fake shit haha.
Nat is a lot like that. It’s like he’s playing up the Australian trope of swearing a lot. I’m fine with swearing, even as much as he does, but you take it out and there are no other jokes there
Americans eat really well, some Americans, but not everyone cooks because not everyone has the ability or the time and energy.
Home brands are very cheap there and good quality. The basics are so cheap too. It’s all about choice.
What we hear in Australia is the American middle class looking down on the good basics. ( it’s so classist there ) And there is a tendency to diss America in the press here too.
I ate like a king in America.
that pink grapefruit juice is so yum, I totes miss half and half, jalapeno jack and Wholefoods homebrands. omg, and the peaches from down south 😭 avocados from mexico really do taste better.
The food here is expensive. I don’t know why.
Jalapeño Jack can be found at Colonial fruit and veg, if you are so inclined. It’s one of my favourite cheese.
Cool. It’s the best for with mexican food and to make nachos 🙂😋
Home brands are very cheap there and good quality. The basics are so cheap too. It’s all about choice.
I think thats it, their pantry stuffers are so much cheaper, more varied and give a lot more basic meal options.
The One Pot Chef does cheap and easy meals.
Ah Gibson. Thank you for hocking up on my doona. What a great welcome home lol

Dunno how long this will last.
I wonder how they’ll generate profits if they already had such a massive debt.
Reading my journal from a year ago and I was upset because I had sent my ex a reel that my friend had sent to me saying, “Have some virtual flowers, you deserve it.”
He had replied back saying to send some good quality memes instead. Dude didn’t like the tiniest hint of sap. I am very glad I’m not with someone I’m incompatible with anymore and that I’m not upset over such a stupid thing. Peace ✌️ :)
He sounds like he has the maturity of freshly vinificated grapes.
There’s someone out there for you, and this dude was so not it lol
The house over the road is having it’s roof cleaned. Maybe I’m being too picky, but I don’t think I’d have gone with a company called “Bad Roof Restorations”.
I’m watching a doco series about a con man called Conn. I kid you not.
There’s a mob near me call A&L doors. Not sure if it’s intentional or not…
Just had two toddlers sleeping on me the way pets do when you can’t move
would KILL to have a toddler sleep on me again. About the only time I’ll get a cuddle I suspect.
I thought it would mean an easy nap put down but they’re both awake again and have not slept yet
Miss Meow has now been successfully taken to the vet. I managed to get her into the carrier with only one scratch. She was so terrified about the whole thing the vet has prescribed sedatives for next time. She has also been declared overweight and in need of a diet, so of course the first thing she did when we got home was make a beeline for her dry food bowl and stuff her face with comfort kibble.
On the way home I beeped at a pedestrian for the first time ever. Seriously Miss Pedestrian, you have right of way to cross the road, not to stop half way contemplating life or admiring the view or whatever it was she was up to. Then, to add to the excitement of the trip, when I got home there was a police crime scene unit parked next door. I am guessing someone robbed the new townhouses over the road, empty houses filled with brand new appliances tend to be a bit of a target.
Action filled morning!
I love when pedestrians cross the road, but do so at an angle or diagonally or whatever, then wave as is we are ok with it. no you muppet! Cross is a straight line, quick as you can. Dont stuff around talking on the phone or whatever.
I just had that happen this morning when I went out for a quick chemist trip.
Blocked me as I was turning into a lane, blocked me from reverse parking and initiating it and blocked me when I need to go back forwards to angle myself correctly.
Also got in my way as I was walking into the shopping centre.
It’s amazing how non attentive pedestrians can really get in your way.
Miss Meow is missing chompers and is still overweight. What are you feeding her? Maybe she’s raiding the pantry while you’re asleep.
Too much dry food I think. She also raids Mr Woof’s dry food, so I need to be more attentive at pickup up his leftovers!
😂
It’s always funny when a pet runs in, goes for the neighbour’s bowl, then eats their own.
Looked at ndis as I need help with disability. The sheer amount of doctors letters, assessments etc required is going to be insane, stressful and probably costly into the thousands. Then there’s the long wait times (over 6 months to get a response) Hardly accessible. Im struggling so hard to stay employed - wfh was so great for disabled people and now the return to office mandates has my job being threatened. It has no actual physical requirement (tech) but they insist that going into the office for “connection” with the internal team (who is across multiple states anyway ) is a “mandatory business requirement”.
Fucking joke at the expense of my health declining even further.
Would it be possible to get a dr’s letter to say you should work from home, do you think? It might be at least a temporary solution while getting the ndis sorted.
Did that to reduce to 1 day a week. But it doesn’t help during flare ups, at which point they want detailed medical info each time and end dates /durations/return to work plans . It doesn’t work like that unfortunately.
I just want to be productive and work - but at home so I can deal with my symptoms as needed and not be on public display. Plus the exertion of travel and being in an office all day. Sigh.
This is a good idea, to talk to your dr and get a med cert for reasonable adjustments. The reasonable adjustments being WFH full time due to an underlying disability. If you’re part of a union, give them a call and talk to a rep for advice :)
yeah our return to office mandate was only for those who didnt have a medical reason or whos contract doesnt state full time remote.
NDIS is unrelated to workplace disability laws. If you need accomodations at work due to disability, you can approach HR at your workplace to discuss your needs. Maybe have a look at fairwork Australia website to see what the rules are and how to make a request.
Some info here
I know that- they created a business requirement so now wfh doesn’t meet their job role requirements, so now you’re fired or going into work unwell.
Adjustment means they can make exceptions if your disability requires it. The job requirement part depends on the reasons, eg if being present is an inherent part of the job, (it would be impossible to be a hairdresser via zoom), then the adjustment can be refused. But if it’s only for social reasons, there may be some flexibility. You don’t know until you ask! It’s also possible that the employer can make the adjustment at the workplace. For example if a person can’t use stairs, and building doesn’t have a lift, then make sure they are situated only on ground floor and all meetings are held in accessible rooms etc. I know it’s not always easy to approach employer and some of them might be dismissive of requests. But… if it’s a choice between suffer and maybe have to quit work, or ask and possibly get some accomodations there’s no harm at all in asking.
Have asked and this is where im at - go to work unwell or find another job. They changed the rules after I started working there.
So sorry to hear. Hopefully you can find something that suits you better.
I’m so sorry to hear this is happening to you, especially them changing the requirements after you started there. It’s not fair at all, and I hope they come to their senses or that you can find something better.
Butter chicken or chicken korma for tomorrow nights tea?
I’d ask the roomies but one will say Butter chicken and the other will say I don’t care.
Ps. The Spice Tailor is half price at Coles.
butter chicken, no doubt.
I’ll eat whatever, Im just happy you’re cooking.
Make butter chicken but with extra spices so it’s more like korma flavour, but retains the buttery gluttony of the butter chicken
My vote goes to Butter Chicken.
The Mystery Of The Missing Tram.
The absence of ding ding is deafening.
I posted a little one but it’s not the same.
I have the tram, but not the map anymore. I don’t know where I am to catch the tram.
Perth also appear to be missing an icon. I have no idea why, maybe the icons got drunk and ran off together somewhere and will be back after they sober up?
18% rent increase for the piece of shit I live in. Not unexpected, but still sucks. I wouldn’t wish anyone live here let alone pay for the privilege. Going to start demanding the agent to get awnings installed as it’s been about eight months since last asking and nothing has happened. Figured that the worst they can do is evict me as they can’t increase the rent again.
There is a desperately anxious part of my brain that is just waiting for a notice like this to come rolling in any day now. I feel like I’m on a decent wicket but I absolutely don’t want to be slugged with a rent increase this year, next year I can handle it, just not this year pls…
Didn’t help that the real estate agent (that my landlord no longer uses - we transact directly) called ME by mistake last week asking if I wanted a new valuation of the property. Fuck off, I hope my landlord told them to take a hike too because inevitably it’ll come back saying “look how much more rent you could be getting!” … and my rental provider, I should say, is probably only going to maintain prices up to a point.
Anyway. Sorry you had to get slugged this, it’s an awful stomach-pit feeling and just generally shit given the quality we put up with for the prices. I hope you get some traction with the awnings…
Mine went up 400 last time. That’s 25%.
I’m out when the lease runs out.

Wtf is this title ABC? Also the new design sucks
They brought back the classic ABC News theme, which tbh is the only highlight of the new changes.
Ignoring the post itself I agree that it’s ugly as fuck
extremist language and using words that have no relation to the actual subject matter
iow, it’s post modern where words mean what ever they want !!
derail and collateral are mixed metaphors, it sounds really illiterate
ta da, first big chair is finished . I think it looks pretty good ( I was worried for a while it would look odd ) and when it has the matching chair and some cushions it will hopefully be awesome and comfortable too :)
spoiler
I’d put my butt on that in a heartbeat
it’s really well sprung!! 🙂
as in, it has real springs just like old fashioned furniture !!!
Oh I thought you meant my butt and we’re giving me a compliment
oh, that is well sprung too I’m sure 🙂
That is a very tidy thing.
thank you :)
That’s a very nice looking chair!
Thank you. 🙂 It’s very plain but it’s solid.
Nice work!
Far out. Look at you go. Fantastic work.!
💖
Oh that’s absolutely gorgeous!!! I would love to have that in my home. The patterns bring me so much joy. Looking forward to more updates
I love it!
