Zucchini slice in da oven..

First time making it.

Suffice it to say I'm hoping I don't fuck it up.

After reading some pointers a few said to strain the zucc after grating so it's not mushy and I have to say the raw juice was delicious.

Zucchini slice has been my go to for kids lunches for a while. I never strain the zucchini. Has never come out bad.

Background checks went through, got the official job offer call, nego'd a slight bump, contract should be through tomorrow and with any luck I'll be starting next Tuesday! And how good is this: they said after a few weeks I can change my specified working days to suit my needs, so I'm not fixed to the two days I pick at the start. How good is that?? Ultra flexibility!! Feeling very good about the job πŸ˜„

I got the job!!!!!! General manager rang to congratulate me. I'll feel better once I have the contract, but still.

The search is finally fucking over. I was down to emergency levels of funding as this makes a huge difference.

It's the day for good news hey? Congrats to us both!! Hope that contract comes through soon, I can't imagine they'd dick you around. Definitely feel you on starting to scratch around a bit for funds, you'll sleep well when those paychecks come through :)

Pi day pide dough has been made and is now rising. I'm going to do a mix of eggplant and tomato with a bit of roast lamb with moroccan seasoning and top with some slices of bocconcini.

There was a block of chocolate in my letterbox, no note. Has the Easter Bunny come early?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’ve been left biscuits by a demented Christian cult before. Did not eat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's white chocolate so the chances of me gobbling it up aren't high.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh, that’s not choc then. Like carob, it’s fine as it’s own thing, but it is not chocolate

Thanks to you guys I've got an in on today's NYT crossword - usually Fridays (e: also Thursdays!) are too hard for me but I might still have a chance having figured out the theme early.

"An irrational reason to celebrate?" (5)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

there was a theme? 😬

and today is thursday

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yes, I'm doing the Thursday 14 March crossword set by Jeffrey Martinovic... I can read dates...

E: oops I realise you meant the reference to Friday. My bad. I am also bad at Friday xwords

Have an interview with a different place this afternoon. If they move me to the 2nd stage then I'll probably send an email to the other guys and see if they can give me an answer soon.
