Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
My dinner tonight was fabulous

Image of a plate with Mediterranean chicken drumsticks, lebanese rice, hummus, toum,spicy roast pumpkin and a piece of lebanese bread. 5/5 yum yums.
Oh you did the food seperation thing and now I must have a cold shower.
It wasn't deliberate. I don't mind if my food make love on the plate.
This is probably the closest to what I make.

I just use 1/2 cup of noodles, 1 cup of rice, 2 cups of water.
Whoa, cool! Noodles AND rice together! I must read more about this...
It's a very forgiving dish because the noodles soak up residual moisture leaving the rice fluffy.
I have a throat infection or a cold or flu and man it is fucking me up baaaaadly. Tomorrow is eofy work dinner at a really nice place. I just want to be able to go.
It is brutal. I was even 100% recovered and I'm back in it again. You should hear some of the kids coughing and spluttering in daycare.
I had that or not dissimilar from when I went OS 3m ago. Rude upper respiratory it lingered.
Yuppp I'm on the arse end of one. It's going around. 3 days of torture.
Yup I'm definitely in middle-America...

I have and could have taken so many more photos of stuff like this
Imagine spending your hard-earned money on merch that features people you despise.
The political merch grift is something I can never understand.
My ex-stepdad would be one of those people.
I mean hey a grifts a grift.
The people making those shirts have a very good hustle though, make a shirt with trump on it and now all the MAGA types are basically throwing their money at you to get their hands on it, and then make one mocking trump,and the people really against trump will do the same
Oh man...
I was there during the 2016 elections and couldn't believe the amount of "political merchandising":

So my wife just told me that shortly after I went to the office, one of the cats parked herself on top of her.
With her butt right up her face.
Apparently she also just took a shit moments before.
And then she just stared at my wife like there she didn't do anything wrong.
Been to pub. Mildly inebriated (this word took me three attempts on the phone keyboard)
Tried to convince my manager that we should shut the office for the afternoon and go for a trip to one of the chocolatier places as a team bonding experience. It didn't work today... but I'm sure I'll try again tomorrow.
Because you were let down I think you need a basket of office support kittens and/or puppies.
behold Casey in all his fluffy glory

Floofmeister.
I'd be extremely tempted to give that tum a pat. I have all my shots and I'm okay with Bartonella if it's that fluffy.
Din dins tonight - pork shoulder chop marinated in nostimini, mashed spud and brussells sprouts dressed in dijon mustard and butter.

And a knob of butter in the crater of the mash. Yes I know that little trick. I know it well.
more floofiness , Oscar ( blue himalayan ) with totoro

I'm gonna put my money on the cat if things escalated between those two.
Apparently she'll be put in immigration detention and then deported as soon as she's done the minimum sentence of 11 1/2 years. abc article
Oh it's breakfast time so I can show you all my breakfast from this morning. Humungous breakfast burrito from that same diner I went to last night. Fork for scale. That's their home made "green chilli" on the side, which was not green but was delicious.

Breakfast burritos are actually the best burritos. I hope it was excellent!
It really was. It had egg, sausage, cheese, onion, hash brown and peppers in it I think. Only thing was it was so chonky I had to use a fork'n knife!
I must admit I'm quite jealous of you Bull... How have you found the portion size to price ratio? The food there does look gigantic, but is it actually as good value as it seems once you convert the freedom eagles over into dollarydoos?
It hurts the wallet. It's not a good time to be an AUD wielder in USD land at the moment. They are having their own cost of living crisis and a lot of places food items look like our prices, making them mega expensive when you convert to AUD. Plus you have to add tax and tip.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Even before recent times when prices there were like half of ours, once you convert nd add tax + a tip I always thought it'd probably end up being the same or more expensive
The last time I was here our dollar was worth more than theirs and their prices still low (2012), so with conversion tax and tip things were CHEAP. Not now that our dollar is only worth 65c to theirs and the price hikes of everything. Those cheap days are gone.
Hi mum, we are hungry and we gratefully wait for you to put bread on the table.
Hoping today will be the last day I need off due to sore throat. Can't work with no voice. Can't risk making throat worse until it's healed. Feeling better today but still sore and swollen lymph nodes. This week has sucked
Everyone's got that one co-worker who doesn't bloody listen, right?
TWICE today I've tagged something as "need to discuss with team lead, leave this alone and I'll come back to it when I have an answer"
Twice today he's ignored that tag. He's done the work as though I hadn't said anything...and his answers have proven to be the wrong ones.
Twice today I've had to go back and fix his mistakes, on work he shouldn't have been doing because I specifically said I was investigating something about it and needed to confirm I was right.
DAMN IT, DUDE, STOP TOUCHING MY STUFF
I understand this is bad timing but the hammer was right all those years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo
Chicken and cashew tonight.
With that magical bull's eye carolina reapr hawt sauce. only a few mls left which makes me sad.
Now you're scaring me. This better not be another sriracha type sitch.
