So I just found out my grandma is heading to the hospital. She got gastro, but is deteriorating somehow. I think someone gave her electrolytes with a bunch of sugar in them, and she has T2D. Hopefully will be updated soon, because my dad looks terribly worried.
Hope she's okay. Big hugs for gran from me.
It's very easy for older people to suffer fluid imbalances, especially adding in the hot weather and illness. Some IV rehydration and she'll be a new woman.
sending lots of best wishes to your grandma 💐
Hope your grandma is OK. Gastro is no joke if you've got T2D, what with dehydration and all that. Keep calm and hope for the best.
Fireworks are going OFF in my hood. It's NYE all over again (Lunar New Year is tomorrow, so makes sense).
Goodnight everyone, and thanks for tolerating my endless chatter about work ❤️
Good night
I said I was gonna make my greasy mee goreng craving yesterday; I didn't - but I did make it today 😋
Was missing eggs/tofu but still not too bad. Can't beat real market fresh yellow noodles though vs the ones from the supahmahket
heck yeah
Looks like it might be another day of fieldwork tomz but I have a psych sesh at 5pm so I'm gonna have to haul myself out of bed quite early 🥱
Yummmm. #NoodleGang
ooh looks good!
Love those types of noodles!
I love Mee Goreng. Nutritionally it's poor, but dam is it tasty.
Yeah this is winning absolutely no health points but I've been having plenty of that the last few days, today I get to indulge!
Late work shifts suck. On 1130 to 730 this week. What it means though is that I can go get this for breakfast before work:

and that makes it kinda bearable
Our work is so late we return to base after midnight.
Is that bowltiful?
Sure is :)
Yum!
Toot toot, If anyone would like to contribute to the noble pursuit of science, you can contribute your observations to this gassy project Chart your fart
I've started implementing supervised open window time (with flyscreen)
Because someone can't help hanging from the fly screen and destroying them so I have to observe to make sure she doesn't fall through it.
Almost looks like a Croquembouche from a distance.
Cat pyramid.
She's dorito shaped
Delicious regular mince. Exquisite pre-diced frozen vegetables. Sensuous baked beans.
Luxurious instant pudding to follow.
Opinions needed! Eggplant parmigiana (well vege Parma because I also have some zucchini to use up).. usually I just slice and chuck it all in the baking dish raw but I understand this makes me a heathen.
Should I pre-fry? or pre-bake? or just go for it like I have before?
Edit: I had to cook up a bit more tomato sauce anyway so I fried (in minimal olive oil) the eggplant - just enough to brown it a little. I think the idea of precooking is to get the liquid out but I don't find modern eggplants overly liquidy or bitter 🤷🏻♀️. Anyway there now enough cheese on that beeatch that it probably doesn't matter 😎
To hell with pre-baking. If the aubergines are particularly liquidy, then scatter breadcrumbs between the layers. This does not prevent putting some breadcrumbs on top to soak up any fat that renders out of the cheese and turns deliciously brown and crunchy.
good idea. My verdict is that pre-cooking probably did help with the sogginess and if I am trying to make "good" eggplant parma I will do that again. But considering as its mostly a cheese delivery system that's faster than lasangne, I feel ok that the world won't end if I can't be arsed.
I like to give then a quick bake first. I don't know why. It's just how I've always done it.
i lightly brush thick slices with olive oil then grill them
Yeah that's basically what I do but oven because I've got it on anyway.
