Good thing I had some left over egg sandwich, because the microwave at work is filled with ants, I don't particularly want to try ants.
It's not even just the odd ant, it's like a whole bunch of them. I can't see any food in there. But I'm just so disgusted and frustrated.
Did you know that there's nearly 40g of sugar in 100g of sticky date pudding? You're welcome.
Looks like I'll be switching back to my Aussie zone account as shitjustworks, ironically, has been having some issues and not working at various points throughout the day. So yeah, I'm not a fake Baku, just an alternate one
I'm going to start a new series of depressing collapse worthy news posts. The idea is to bring attention to why we're all fucked in the short, med. and long term.
Today's news is the cocoa price:
Technical analysis:
As you can see cocoa prices are on the rise and it's time to stock up on chocolate and not break up with anyone unless it's a double / triple choc top then dump them and short cocoa.
Imma let you finish but Proud Mary's Humbler is the best coffee blend of all time. OF ALL TIME!!! Managed to get some to use on the espresso machine for the first time and gawd it was like heaven.
I've been really stuck on dinner ideas lately, need to watch some cooking shows to get my creativity game up
Pretty much whatever leftovers you have - make pizza dough and dump said leftovers on the pizza 👌
Pick a vegetable or meat. Google selected item + recipe. Eg Potato recipes. Choose a meal. Shop for that meal.
Dinner is easy.. first you make some toast, or toast some english muffins if you're fancy, then you heat up the baked beans in the microwave. Then you simply pour the baked beans over the toast/muffins. Done! Make your meal international by adding a dab of hot sauce to take your tastebuds on a spicy Mexican adventure.
Not sure why you'd ever need any other ideas.
this has to be the funniest reddit update I've read in ages 😂https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1529wr4/oop_wants_to_find_a_club_in_washington_dc_with_no/
Anyone else wake up with random Simpson quotes in their head on the regular? Todays the Love-Matic Grandpa.
Just got a full refund on something I disputed via PayPal, with no request for the return of the item in question. I guess it's mine to deal with now? Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Slight increase in hassle, but also the chance to sell and get some benefit from the hassle. So I guess that counts as a win.
The last D in DRSABCD now stands for deadly bleeding apparently. Might be time for a refresher if you remember it differently.
Went to sleep to the sounds of my neighbour’s barking dog and it was my alarm clock this morning. I’m over hearing it. The barking has happened during the day for a little while but this week it’s extended into sleep hours. It also sets off other dogs in the area, creating a bark fest.
