WORLD SLEEP DAY 🛌
Stayed at home today. Feeling run down and sniffly. I slept in for quite awhile and decided to make chicken bullion soup with egg and veggies in it and boiling pasta with it.
Me thinks this weekend will be mostly soups for meals.
The crow remake looks like a piece of shit.
Time to torrent the old one and watch it tonight in 4k.
I’m shocked at how oddly nondescript it looks. It looks like a boring revenge flick. What’s up with all these revenge flicks anyway? Someone needs to make a cinematic universe revenge crossover spoof series. Where’s Leslie Nielsen when we needed him most. Oh, right. Yeah.
I’m fed up with remakes in general. Yes, there are purportedly only X number of plots, but you could at least try to make something new.
My bird :(
oh poor little duolinggo bird!

Hot cross bunsWorld Sleep Day?
Blessed I have nothing to get up for tomorrow morning. ✨
Wot she said ⬆️ 3am. Gah.
I’ve never been the type of person who plays online games. But this helldivers game is pretty fun.
my rig just arrived today. DEFFO giving this a go.
Is it because it’s coop instead of competitive? Or because spreading managed democracy is just that fun?
I generally stick to single player story driven stuff. But this is really, really cool.
Shit 2 weeks at work and I’m OK? It’s my job to look after my people even if they have fucked up and they have
But I’m not doing great generally. I’m feeling worn down. I will literally expend my all my energy to provide support for my team, but I’m flagging.
I’m thinking about the milky caffeinated dumplings (edit) @Force_majeure123 was dreaming of.
I have zero energy, lactose intolerance and my stomach is being a massive jerk so I can also only dream. But I found a coffee pastry cream recipe. You could probably stir some condensed milk in there too for a Vietnamese coffee sort of taste.
I was thinking the thin slippery unleavened dumpling skins might not go well unless you wanted to fake it with mochi or use one intended for sweet buns. I wondered about sweetening a pork bun dough recipe and making it like bao.
Then I found out Cantonese custard buns exist. Perhaps if you cooked the pastry cream down thick enough or added coffee to the intended custard filling it might work. It doesn’t look quite creamy though. These are more complicated but look runnier.
Actually… the supermarket used to sell tubes of coffee flavoured condensed milk. You could put the flat dough skins in muffin trays to hold up the edges against spillage, squeeze it into the centre and quickly wrap it inside. I can’t see the coffee tubes at Woolies or Coles but there are still tins you can spoon it out of… unfortunately the brand is Nestle.
Or chocolate steamed buns with white chocolate for the ganache.
I love that you have put so much thought into this!! I think the ‘more complicated’ Cantonese custard buns look like the closest to my dream - but it was even runnier. I feel like you could just add some caffeine powder to that and it would be the one. Strangely enough - in my dream the dumplings were caffeinated for sure, but were not coffee flavoured, just milk flavour. Maybe I need to think about it it patenting this idea… 🤔
Yeah I love weird food science. It’s interesting to think about. There was this Wonka book when I was a kid that let you make edible marshmallow pillows.
Sounds like a great breakfast idea, or perfect for an afternoon slump
Edit: The filling sounds like an unfrozen ‘sweet cream’ flavour icecream base
I think steamed is probably the way to go. The filling would need to be either frozen or some sort of gel to melt when you cook the outside. Not going to try it, coffee disagrees with me.
You could use invertase like in chocolate cherries. I have no idea how it would respond to heat though. Would it speed the liquification, get denatured/not survive the cooking process, or would it still take weeks as the dough went stale…
Freezing is possible. They do it for Bombe Alaska. But it could cause the filling to split

The FishieCAT has earned a hat trick for disconnecting the internet three days in a row. It would help if the moron who installed the NBN box knew what plaster plugs were (or put it on the same wall as a power point)
Boss calls: “Can you please call supplier and organise X?” Me: does exactly that and notifies people boss requested Half hour later, supplier calls: “Your boss just rang and asked for Y, can you please confirm?”
WHYYYYY ask me to do something, if you’re just going to call up and arrange different shit?!
Cool neighbour is going travelling for like 12 months and leaving a set of keys with me.
Basically told me to have at anything that edible, potable or smoke able.
He’s a good egg
Do you get the use of his car? Is it better than yours?
He sold his car recently. So no.
What about the yacht?
With someone else unfortunately.
Obviously at the marina. Keys are with a mate.
Atleast you got the liqueur cabinet and the snacks. 👍
For someone who’s really well off, his liquor choices are quite plain.
Ain’t complaining, but I expect better than Jameson.
careful with that time machine
I’m cool with that one. The Gimp dungeon is where it gets interesting.
😬
Up to Harry Potter 7.
Just another fight for world domination story.
All these nuts are the same. Blofeld, Dr Evil, Putin, Smersh, Voldemort.
Dr. Claw, Skeletor, Brain, Shredder, Baron von Greenback…
Edit: I think I just aged myself big time =)

NARRFF!!
makes as much sense as anything
In my fave action adventure show as a kid, Thunderbirds, there was no evil organisation trying to take over the world 🤔
International Rescue was totally a front for something nefarious I’m sure.
Nobody gets the cash to have such a sweet base and all those cool vehicles by being legit :D
Voldy was more nuanced than that. The movies don’t really cover it that well, but his big motivator was to be special. He used control of the ministry and domination of the muggles as a carrot for his supporters. But at a personal level, he didn’t care about power and control as end goals.
He wanted to be the most renown, feared and admired person in the world. He wanted to be so special that everyone just did whatever he wanted. Not that he wanted to rule the world - but whoever did rule it answered to his every whim.
It’s a very petty and vain motivator. But, I can actually believe it. Actually ruling the world sounds like too much work.
Happy Birthday Baku.
OMG I didn’t see this! Thank you (and the 12 people who upvoted it!) you’re the best
Happy Birthday!
I was waiting for you to confirm this.
Happy Birthday Baku 🎉
Thanks CEO!
The week after I got my breadmaker, I discovered my really itchy eczema rash I’d had for a year could be gluten related. So I cut out gluten and wasted $180 on a breadmaker.
3 weeks later when I had little one over, decided to use the last packet to make bread and because I have zero self control and the smell of it made me drool I had some and no rash/no return/nothing (but still staying away from gluten if I can).
My body is a mystery.
