Depression is driving me crazy ๐ญ
I think being bed bound for 2 months did not help.

I could really go a good hot Shepard's Pie right now.
Aldi have individual ones in the freezer. They are divine.
My homemade ones consist of beef mince with flavours and mash potato on top. No base. Just slapped in a pie dish and baked.

Hey guys
I just wanted to let you know I will no longer be making the new thread at midnight. If I'm awake at that time I'll do it otherwise I'll be asleep like a normal person.
I have enjoyed steering this ship the last few months and I hope you laughed at least once at my stupidity. I guess this is my resignation letter. I look forward to going back to my regular bedtime.
Many thanks @[email protected] โฅ
Thanks mate ๐ค maybe the bot can be resurrected one day.
You're welcome ๐ค
I miss him/her/them ๐ค
I wondered when you would.
The rest was very welcome, thank you.
I did it because I'm a team player and I honestly got a kick out of sharing what popped into my head at midnight.
I was starting to get unexplained headaches and I've put it down to staying up way past my bedtime. I appreciate your thank you. โฅ
I was just too sick with sciatica for the last few months. I'm only just now nearly better. I can do it most evenings now.
Sciatica's a bitch.
If you can do the thread then do it but if you can't don't stress. The people here are very forgiving.

I made a chocolate cherry cake this morning and have already eaten far too much of it.
I just ate an avocado that wasnโt unripe or overripe. That never happens !!! I should buy a lottery ticket right ?
Haas? Then yes! For Shepard, I feel those are good for longer but I don't like them as much.
my wife's super power is the ability always to pick perfectly ripe avocados
Package arrived! And turned out to be only one of two items I ordered (and the half that is only useful if I have the other half). โน๏ธ I found another tracking number for the other item, it is at least also in the country. It looks like they split up so this one could spend some more time in Chicago for some reason.
Gonna have another crack at paramount food court. Any suggestions? Dumplings would be great!
I went there for the first time recently, that place is such a time warp
Thai or Korean....can't remember their names, are solid. The sri lankan joint absolutely slaps.
I was feeling adventurous today so I purchased a flat white instead of my usual cappuccino and I'm disappointed. I'm not sure if coffee even went in there.
So my question is: Is a flat white just another name for a deflated latte because I'm struggling to taste any coffee in there?
Disclaimer: I got it from Coles express
My experience, cappucinos taste more like coffee because there's more air in the froth AND the chocolate powders adds a dimension.
I prefer flat whites as I hate milk foam.
Also...Coles express might the actual culprit.
So is a flat white as strong as a cappuccino but without so much milk? I understand that a flat white is a bit of steamed milk but I want to know which one is a stronger tasting coffee all round.
Unless you ask for a strong or double shot, you'll get a single shot in a coffee. For a strong tasting one, you can ask for a long black with a dash of milk.
Got it. Thank you.
STRONG advocate for a flat white here. I just want a slightly more mellow coffee. A cap or a latte have so much milk that sort of becomes the star of the show and thats not what I'm here for. I want a coffee.
Interesting. I felt like I drank a lot of liquid without the oomph of caffeine. Maybe I need to try it from a human next time.
I thought a flat white was stronger than a latte. 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk, 1/3 froth vs a latte of 1/3 espresso and 2/3 milk. Happy to be corrected though. Probably just nasty servo coffee!
I hate flat whites, because of this. It never tastes like a coffee, it's just coffee-flavoured milk.
Love me a big fat cappuccino though, my go-to order always. I use it as an indication on whether the cafe is good: if the capp tastes like a flat white = bad cafe, if it tastes like coffee (and isn't burnt) = good cafe.
My thinking behind it is that a strong coffee + warm milk = strong smooth coffee. Apparently not.
I do go and see an actual human coffee maker on occasions but she's on the other side of town. That lady makes the best cappuccinos I've ever had.

This week has been a lot more cruisey at work after getting through the backlog. Thank heavens for the school holidays. Go away everyone!
It's always fun when the street view car gets pulled in for RBT.
Hahahaha I love this! So random. Their crimes immortalized on GMaps forever (or until they send the car out again to take updated photos lol)

I just brushed Ted Cat. He is less fluffy than thought, he is a hefty chonker, which is why he's on a diet.
This sewing thing would go considerably faster if I could do any while the cats are awake. Pin thieving varmints!
