Ok, you have me sold on the mock meat bahn mi. I don’t travel that way regularly any more but must make the visit next time I’m it area!
Full disclaimer: the line is about as long as the line to the jam donut stall at the queen Vic markets on free donut day. Seriously, I walk past it fairly often and the line is almost always like 40 people and stretches half way down the block
Can recommend the cafe a few mins down the road, six points though, I love their bloody Mary eggs Benny. They mix a little bit of siracha into the hollandaise and it’s surprisingly good

I used to live opposite the one in Reservoir and it got me through lockdown. They’re opening a new location opposite Melbourne Central soon. Can’t wait to be able to grab it for lunch regularly again.

Question: Would you eat pate that is one week (use by) out of date?
CAUTION: DO NOT mansplain the difference between use by and best before or I will be forced to severely downvote you.
DO NOT mansplain
I’ll bite.
Best before was when I was in my 20’s.
Used by was probably before that.
edit: I deserved that.
Yes you did
:(
I fix for you :)
Still sealed from the shops, yep. Open a week or homemade and it’s a dog treat.
It was unopened
No hesitation.
Agreed
Um, ackshually it isn’t mansplaining if I don’t identify as a man. Ah ha!
Nah all jokes aside, If it’s unopened, go at it! Pate was made so it would last longer than it’s ingredients by themselves.
If it’s opened then forgeddabowtit
Yes. If I trusted the purchase point to store it correctly before purchase. I know my fridge keeps it’s cool properly, but swoopermarkets are another thing again. The whole point of pate is to put a highly perishable food into a format that does keep a bit longer. Refer liverwurst. And potted shrimp. And tarasamalata (I think I’ve spelled that understandably, if not correctly).
tarasamalata
That’s the first I’ve ever heard of or seen that word I think. The food itself looks way up my alley 😍
Aldi make a nice one. The smoked one is shit but the plain one is good. A good deli also make it.
Yummy. The Aldi one is good, the Piedmonte’s one is fantabulous.
Not sure. Maybe one or two days at the most as long as texture, taste and smell was ok.
Pate? No.
I probably wouldn’t.
Where’s the fucking raaaaaaain?!
It’s so hot in this fucking apartment, but I’m vaccuming, tidying up, all while drinking a beer.
Idgaf
Is coming but looks like more from 9pm onwards. Later if you’re out east. Mad props to you vacuuming in this weather, beer truly lets you do anything hey.
I wish I could still drink a beer without feeling weird and sick. Getting buzzed might help me deal with the dishes
Looks like the fan I bought 2 weeks ago stopped working. Lovely
That didn’t last long. Can you return it?
Ehhh more effort than its worth I think, and I didn’t keep the receipt
deleted by creator
Well you could say at least that model didn’t blow you away.
You know, it’s pretty scummy to buy fans; much more ethical to earn them lol
Ending up stripping down to just undies for the vacuuming, so hot!
Got pizza for dinner though, with plenty of leftovers for the next few nights.
Place is looking gooooooood
Time for a big fat glass of ice water and a cold shower. Then tomorrow, I tackle the balcony and bathroom.
Ahaha, nice to know I am not the only who partakes in nekkid domestics.
It’s the only way it’s bearable in weather like this! Plus no dirty clothes to worry about, win win!
I had a MyGov message yesterday that my account was locked because of too many attempts to sign in. It wasn’t me, so I assume it was a hacking attempt using data leaked from somewhere else. I was able to unlock the account and discovered there is a setting that stops you email or phone being an option for the username, so they shouldn’t be able to try again.
I didn’t even know that was an option. Maybe my mygov account is so old I created it when you could only use a random string of numbers they assigned you. I guess that’s the on upside to an inscrutable, completely unrelated username
That’s the username I use, but the email is in the settings as an alternative option. I presume someone had a list and was trying all my known passwords with the email - it wouldn’t get them in (I use unique random passwords for everything of any importance) but trying over and over gets me locked out. It might be worth checking your settings to see if it is enabled.

Yep. About 2 weeks ago for me
I had that recently too a couple of weeks ago and it locked my account and I turned off being able to use my email as a login for it.
Was a royal pain in the butt.
Ooh, I didn’t know about that setting. Had the same too many attempts thing recently so I’ve turned those off too. Thanks.
I only learned about it yesterday when I was looking up how to unlock my account.
I didn’t even know you could get usernames, I’ve only ever signed in through email. Happen to know where I could find my username by chance?
There’s an option to have them email the username to you. I did it recently and it’s all in the same area of mygov security settings. Worth it because if your mygov gets breached I’ve heard they force you to make a new one.
It also displayed the username in the same place in settings as the option to remove the email and phone number as login options.
From what I read if you are forced to make a new login you also can’t reuse the same email address without phoning up and doing something to release it. Just unlocking it from the temporary lock I needed the correct password, answer to a secret question plus an SMS code which was stilll a bit of a nuisance.
Thanks both! I’ll see if I can work out what my username is
Absolutely loving the assignment result theme today, so chuffed to see highly deserving people being rewarded for their hard work :D
Nearly everyone was on leave today and there’s a huge pile of due-todays and overdues, AND I got lobbed a site inspection from someone who decided to work tomorrow instead of today last minute. Proud that I got through a pretty good chunk of it without panicking. It helped that the only other person in today is very chill and calm. Though they were besieged by tech issues.
About to return home to The Furnace and wfh a bit more so everything is done and ready to be checked tomorrow am. Grateful to past self for getting pizza on special for an easy meal tonight
E: annoyed however that psych practice didn’t tell me the 2nd referral hadn’t come through despite my doing days in advance. And they said it wasn’t their responsibility, well whose is it because I don’t have a spare $200 out of pocket to casually afford like that. Also, it looks like our bins have not been collected. Possibly because there’s a parking spot right out front. I suspect they haven’t been collected for weeks, which explains why they’re overflowing. I’m gonna have to ring the council to ask about another collection. Sigh

She was very lucky to be suspended and not sacked. Very lucky.

I would be taking a look at the manager’s use of their cards in that case.
I wish I wasn’t always tired and stressed out. I wish it was easier to get stuff I need and get things done independently.
Life sucks to the point of meaninglessness sometimes but I want to take great care of Melbcat and grow heaps of healthy food for people that can eat it.
I’m of the belief humans are as intelligent as they are because we’re meant to be protectors and guardians of this planet, of all flora and fauna.
That’s life’s meaning for me, it shouldn’t matter if there’s something more after we die, as long as we do our utmost to take care of animals and plants. I think you are meaningful, because you’re trying to grow food, and looking after Melbcat.
deleted by creator
Maybe doing good things is the meaning. 😘

Lol! Looks like my alarms! Every fifteen minutes, though I think I have to change the sound now, because I’ve been sleeping through it
That looks like mine too except it’s every 10 mins for me, what it takes to wake me up is horrible.
This was how I did mine last Monday
As well as the ominous “LEAVE NOW”
deleted by creator
We actually ended up leaving closer to 5:30, and also, I hadn’t packed the night before
The alarms were mostly about telling me what stage of the process I had to be by what time, I ended up waking up half an hour before my alarm anyway
found this pretty lil guy in the stairwell
It was too close to the spiders there, so I scooped it up in my glasses case and took it outside. So pretty!
Edit: Did some googling and I’m pretty sure this is a Common Brown Butterfly, a female.
Stole spiders breakfast.
Dumb moth going to die flying at a lightbulb until it cooks anyway😂
I would’ve let the spiders have their breakfast
It’s a butterfly!!! 😂😂😂😂
Eh, snoozed the day away and got caught binge watching.
Actually enjoyed Nobody Wants This.
Better get shut eye, I haz things to do tomorrow!
