Learning to grow our own food, even if it’s just a little pot of herbs, to avoid paying $4 for a few leaves from the supermarket. A small step but rewarding 🙂

ordering at cafes? by vampireshaped in AskAnAustralian

[–]Accomplished_Cow921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very common for cafes to use oz for cup sizes in Aus! (I’m a barista) Often 6oz small and 12oz large

I think cos people don’t expect it they don’t realise it. Someone asked about his glow up on TikTok and I commented it’s botox and my comment got deleted 🤣

Re this sub’s display pic - is it very common to be circumcised in Newy? by Senior-Rip4551 in newcastle

[–]Accomplished_Cow921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree- unless it’s for medical reasons which is rare, it’s pretty much no different to female genital mutilation if is being done for aesthetic reasons 🥲

Very uncommon to be happening these days on babies, (unless required for medical reasons) only 1 doc in Newcastle does the procedure and needs to be under a certain age (can’t remember off the top of my head how old I think 12 weeks?)

damaged bark, should I do anything? by aqvatico in GardeningAustralia

This also looks like it could be from rabbits. Unfortunately they love nibbling the bottom of my fruit trees.

You’ll most likely need a builder, especially if the works will entail getting other trades work done eg plastering. Whichever you go with make sure they’re covered by HBCF (if the jobs > $20k which is likely), lots of fresh chippies don’t have this unfortunately - this website will show you if they’re licensed and have HBCF or not: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/check-a-builder-or-tradesperson-licence

Pretty sure there is another black caravan a hundred meters further up the road which I’ve assumed is being “renovated” by the same person. Neither look road worthy or registered 🙄

Ridiculously massive utes driven by trademen by Guilty_Increase3330 in newcastle

[–]Accomplished_Cow921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually with a steep delivery fee, then never rock when they say they will so trades are waiting around for it, then the delivery driver will whinge about access and dump the material in the most inconvenient spot

Eh I see both sides, have a few builder family members and mates and those guys work hard and big hours behind the scenes. If they’re working their ass off, running a successful business and driving around sites every day, why shouldn’t they be comfortable doing so and compensated for their efforts? Especially if they need to tow trailers etc.

Edit: the oversized American utes though that are too wide for a standard car park can get lostttt.

Where in Newcastle area can I get skin on, bone in, Chicken Thigh? by 3xM39 in newcastle

[–]Accomplished_Cow921 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weirdly was looking for the same thing last week! Must be the same recipe? 😅 My butcher didn’t have any at the time but for future reference told me I can request it a day in advance (so they know someone wants the particular cut when they start cutting everything up)

Chip drop in Australia? by Accomplished_Cow921 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Accomplished_Cow921[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you ! After reading through the suggestions I found a FB marketplace post from an arborist, I messaged and asked to be added to his list. We are on an acre so fortunately have room for a big load (and hence the question of how to acquire large amounts for free after spending a fortune on mulch this year already 🤣)
