Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Found a hedgehog snuffling around the bushes at work during lunchtime. Very weird as I could have sworn they’re nocturnal.

Hate to say it, but they are considered pests here and should be trapped and humanely killed :(

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Damn, just read the Forest & Bird article about them. They really are predatory.

Well this one was in the middle of a carpark on Great South Road so it probably has a low life expectancy.

Another day, another successful trip, this time to the southern Cavalli islands.

Next will be either a walk on the big island, or a drive to whangaroa harbour for a paddle.

I believe it's pancake Tuesday today, though I didn't remember until after it was too late for breakfast. Is it acceptable to have pancakes for tea?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It is acceptable to eat pancakes at any time as long as they are covered in brown sugar with lots of cinnamon. This is what separates us from the savages.

Any other form of pancake eating is just plain wrong, which means you shouldn't be allowed to eat them.

I will not discuss this further unless you agree with me.

Gonna eat pancakes with marmite just to prove you wrong!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wholly shit, man. No need to fly off the handle or anything!

Luckily I didn't have the ingredients to make pancakes at home, so I haven't sullied their good name to prove a point

I reckon you're just too proud to admit mistakes...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have never made a mistake and I never will!

Still would be better with Vegemite - it's not slimy like Marmite is.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

I’m not particular to either so I’m ok with that

What about lemon juice and icing sugar?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

This is my favourite topping for pancakes + butter, but I wonder if its just folks of a certain generation, because nowadays people are going with blueberries, maple syrups, nutella, whipped cream etc instead.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Now I want pancakes..

Apple compote and cream is pretty good too.

we are having pancakes for dinner tonight

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

With sugar or maple syrup, or is it a special dinner topping?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ended up at lunchtime, white sugar and lemon juice or lime juice for the big people and the 2 kids had maple syrup

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm trying to decide if pancakes with sugar/maple syrup is dinner or desert, or if we make pancake lasagne or something 😆

That's the beauty of Pancake Day - you can have pancakes at any time!
