    Gave in and ordered Colesworty delivery today because I am run down and trying to have a rest day. They managed to …just…not give me 3/4 of the order… I have some pantry items delivered but none of the fresh or refrigerated stuff I actually needed. Delivery says bag 1 of 1 so it’s not a problem with the delivery dude.

    I have put in for a refund but 😤

      Ugh. That blows. And how’s their app‽ They always ask for feedback and I always say the same thing: Your app is slower than a blind one armed pensioner loading a musket.

        Oh yeah terrible all round. Lucky I have a good pantry/freezer as backup. Fresh stuff will just have to wait

        The Coles app sucks, and so do the apps of all their other brands. Woolworths is better but someone needs to optimise their queries because search is slow as hell

    A batch of mayonnaise has now been made, ready to go on my fish burger for dinner.

    When I was a kid we used to make this horrible concoction based on condensed milk that we called mayonnaise, I am very grateful that is no longer a thing in my life. I don’t really like the standard purchased mayonnaise these days either. There was one brand of whole egg mayonnaise that I liked, but they changed from glass jars to plastic recently so I decided it is time to stop being lazy and start making my own. Last time I made it I pasturised the egg first, this time I decided to live on the edge and use it raw. If I die of salmonella poisoning in the next couple of weeks you will know where it came from.

        It’s one of those things that when you read about what is involved they make it sound really hard - lots of warnings about carefully adding oil drop by drop or you will ruin it, the recipes all seem to make it sound like a really labour intense effort with a high risk of failure. So a lot of people won’t even get to the point of trying to do it and finding out how easy it actually is.

        I think if you are used to bought mayonnaise you are also expecting a different flavour profile, so when you make it what you get tastes “wrong” because it is not what you are expecting.

    Cleaned up and threw out all the vape shit. Chest still sore from that disposable one I bought today.

    Hopefully everything’s back to normal tomorrow 🤞🏾

        yes, all habits are sets of behaviours, keep some of the behaviours and it will be easier

        like having decaf or milo instead of coffee after 1 pm 🫠

    I had two really vivid dreams bathed in nostalgia and lovely warm vibes… The first I barely remember, except it had a very Harry Potter vibe and an incredibly rich and complex world with all kinds of back stories and secrets. Something about monsters and mazes. I briefly woke up wanting to go back to that world but ran out of plot. The second started out stressful because it was about middle school exams, but turned into this beautiful celebration with classmates with the school all lit up at night and people being lovely to each other. Ahh… 😌

    …and now to GET UP AND FACE THE DAY!!! I am going to WALK to the other side of the suburb for a coffee and come back and then start looking at uni things!!!

    Was my night for the weird dreams - can’t remember the details of the first but there was some sort of seminar or similar being run or at least facilitated by the estate agent who sold the house. Mum was in it as well and I think surprised herself and everyone else by how well she was doing.
    Second one I do remember was there was some sort of queue at what looked like the op shop where I donated a lot of the excess when I was cleaning out the place, and it was for a type of ice cream made in this really weird way that I doubt is possible, and a Karen type at the head of the line was having a rant because she didn’t think it should be available so no-one else should have it. You know the type.

    A question for those who filter and re-use their cooking oil. I use a filter or paper towel over a pyrex jug to catch the floaties then use a funnel into the empty oil bottle. Is there an easier way? Should I be double filtering? I just use the second hand oil in the frying pan. It’s rice bran oil.

      I just use paper towel (2-3 layers) in a colander over a bowl. Slowly drips through. Seems to work and not much mess.

      My mum had a fine grade steel mesh filter as well, that sat on top of a metal jug. She’d put a layer of paper towel on top too (she used it to drain freshly fried items). Once it all filtered through she’d reuse the oil in curries. Nowadays she doesn’t fry enough stuff to do this any more. Neither do I.

      Though one time I used too much oil when roasting some fennel so I poured the excess oil (infused with dry thyme) off the baking sheet into a glass jar and used it later to fry up onions and garlic and veg for a pasta dish. That was delish.

      I used to have a a very fine grade steel mesh filter funnel for oil and then use coffee filters to get out the tiny particles like flour

      I don’t use enough oil to reuse anymore

    Super deep sleep last night.

    Also didn’t get any afterdrop after the swim last night. Puts monocle on… One theory is that afterdrop happens when your core tries to continue to warm up peripherals (due to peripheral vasoconstriction from the cold).

    So the experiment is what happens if you dilate them blood tubes with chilli before jumping in. Body wants to restrict blood to limbs but can’t, so core temp drops more quickly, but that activates the trusty brown fat (BAT). The idea is to see if chilli can reduce the symptoms of mild hypothermia (mainly shivering and lethargy) by inducing it before jumping in.

    Seems counter-intuitive af BUT not the first person to think of it

    “Capsaicinoids have another advantage in that they could be administered to patients in the field as an initial response or could even be used in combination with physical cooling methods to reduce the need for sedatives and muscle relaxants and create a stable, more controllable hypothermia in people.”

    Thank you for reading my pseudo probably incorrect scientific report.
