It’s going to rain. Take a brolly.

some howling wind there
The BoMs are saying that rains due around 4 in my area. I hope it’s not lying because I lost my umbrella and don’t want to buy a new one
I made a dentist appointment.
Now run in circles and flibbertygibbert to un panic.
My cooking attempts with chicken drumsticks for the last few days have sort of failed.
I don’t know if I can be bothered getting flour today as this would make it my 3rd trip down to the shops.
Was going to attempt a batter using only cornstarch and egg with some heavy seasoning tonight and see how that goes.
This is for an air fryer as well.
If you can’t get flour, or want a crispier drumstick, panko bread crumbs are also good to use. Your batter sounds like it would be sticky enough to make sure the bread crumbs stick. Least, that’s the result of my partner’s experiments to make fried chicken at home :D
If you want crispy chicken use cornflakes. Put them in a bag and crush them then add all your flavours with the crumbs. Lather your drumsticks up with yogurt, mayo or egg and roll the drumsticks in it. Airfry
following Thorn’s tips next time buy tempura batter mix.
I make a popcorn chicken type thing with a bunch of spices in cornflower and it tastes pretty good. I go really heavy on the salt because I find it nicer super salty, but that’s just me being weird. Mix some cayenne pepper in if you have it, adds a nice taste and a bit of kick!
Would recommend mixing the batter with ICE cold water or even shaved ice for extra crispy finish. This is essentially a tempura batter that you are planning. Drumsticks tempura! The batter may well burn in the airfryer even on lowish heat, as the drumsticks will take MUCH longer to cook than the batter. Would recommend par-cooking the chooklegs in the microwave in moist heat, then battering them for the airfryer.
My kid: I think I’m gonna wear green to the sports carnival tomorrow.
Me: But that’s not your house colour.
Her: I don’t care. I look good in green.
Me: True.
Beef stew (with lots of wine) has been cooked and is currently in jars in the pressure canner. Seven serves, so one tonight and six for later.
I was supposed to go to a funeral today but when I got up this morning I just didn’t have it in me to go. Mr P was going so I said he could represent our family. I seem to be reaching some kind of depressing events threshold. They were all going out drinking afterwards at one of the shittier local hotels 😬 definitely count me out, would rather stay home than deal with drunken people today. Especially people who had already started squabbling about money barely a day after she died. I felt a bit guilty though, especially seeing as I’d taken the day off work to go, so I had a go at repairing the dishwasher and succeeded! Am kind of enjoying having a day off that’s not a public holiday.
I’m so sorry, so many hugs.
Thanks Seagoon, I appreciate your kind thoughts 🥹
You do whatever you need to do in your own way to get through it.
Everyone has different ways of handling and getting through things, you just do what best works for you.
That’s what’s most important.
Thanks Duenan, I appreciate your understanding words 🥹
On a cross-town trip to prahan. Love it when the trains all line up so well
I had to catch 2 buses then a tram a couple of weeks ago and it lined up so well going to my destination (max 5 min wait time for each) but sucked on the way back because it would’ve been a 10 min wait for the tram and 25ish for each bus so I ended up doing bus then tram then walk
On my way back now, and yeah, it doesn’t line up that great on the way back. But I think I’m a bit luckier where I am, just because I’m going from the Inner North to the Inner South, so I’m not really in a place where busses are required. Just trains, or if I really wanted to extend the trip, I could take two trams.
Busses are, by far, my least favourite type of public transport lol
Crumpets have been made, now to rest the rest of day watching telly.
Look at it go!
But why…? What’s the benefit of having a wifi connected washer? So you can put the load through again from bed when you realise you forgot to hang it out?.. Wouldn’t you still have to add detergent…I don’t understand
Load it in the morning. Start it an hour before you get home so it’s ready to hang when you arrive? That way, it isn’t going mankey all day.
That’s all I got.
The only reasons I can come up with are if the laundry is on a different floor it might be handy to check if it has finished before you go downstairs to unload it. It might also remind you if you don’t unload it which could definitely be handy. Or it could give you a bit more control over programming if it has a decent app - it’s easier/cheaper to build in more variables into an app than it is to have hard buttons. My rice cooker has an app which gives you access to a lot more detailed programming than you can do on the panel, like setting the exact finish time for the times, adjusting default times to your preferences, programs for yoghurt etc. Plus it allows multilingual settings - the cooker has chinese on all the buttons but the app is in English.
I braved the elements and brought my bins in. It’s quite warm out there.
Is it? I know it was quite warm overnight last night, 15 was the low I think.
This morning wasn’t too bad but the chill from the wind got to me eventually.
About to go outside for a little bit, it’s all grey and overcast, I’m not sure what to wear.
Well it wasn’t cold but I was only out there for one minute. When I came back in I asked Google the temperature and she said 18°c.
Just came back from outside, wasn’t too bad though I still wrapped a scarf for bizarre reasons around my neck.
Won’t last for too much longer I suspect, I see rain on the radar coming.
does anyone know where I put the corkscrew?
The cat is sitting on it of course
with the screwdriver
I have checked both the cupboard which collects random tools that should mostly be outside and the pegboard storage areas where screwdrivers are and there is no corkscrew ☹️
it’s in the cutlery drawer
Second drawer down.
not in any of the drawers. I checked each one about 4 times.
Don’t worry it’ll turn up when you buy another one.
I will be moving in with my mother and consolidating households in the near future, so at this stage I am not buying anything I can do without for a short period. So I’ll be pushing in corks for a few months then either find it in the move or just use mum’s. I’ll add it with the broken beaters to the list I need to make sure mum doesn’t declutter!
It’s stuck with its magnet half way down the garbage chute
If you understand this, we’re cool… cool cool cool.
Dad: Into the wine bottle… got a swiss army knife in a drawer somewhere?
Cork was pushed into the bottle. Alas I have no swiss army knife. I have a suspicion I may have overzealously decluttered it thinking it was a spare.
Do you guys think this a good idea or bad idea? I sprinkle bird seed and then she sits and watches them through the door.
I think it’s lovely, it’s like Cat TV. 😸📺
It says here that it’s enrichment for cats so I think it’s a good idea. https://www.thevetshed.com.au/blog/enrichment-for-cats/4266
I made the mistake of putting Cat TV on last week. One of the cats is now so transfixed that the child cannot play roblox without his character being attacked. It’s funny, but I am slightly concerned that she might harm the TV… your method seems safer and involves less screen time which is bad for our younguns.
Cat TV! A staple of this household. Even without birdie nom noms
I think she be a fine tiger loaf
Thank you Thorn😘
Sleep well everyone
