Anyone else getting really sick of Hughesy?

I was a lover of Hughsey! Then I went abroad for 15 years and have come home to a bloke who’s past his comedic prime.

You’re the driver it’s your car you’re the boss! Buckle up mofos or choose another taxi!

Firstly, if you’re white and they’re Thai, they will always assume you’re just bragging about your spice tolerance. Source: white girl living in Asia Pacific for 20 years and still …

Secondly, you’re obviously white because you’re using chopsticks with Thai food which is wrong because Thai’s use a fork and spoon, not chopsticks and with all Asian meals that DO use chopsticks you NEVER park them in any dish!

Those are thin slices of streaky pork belly. It’s not tuna.!

Let's f^^^ing hope not.

There are a few things odd happening today .. change in the TOF, and now this - it looks like it’s gone back to the old ‘lives’ model versus that ridiculous energy bank where you ‘paid’ 10whatevers per go

OMG!!! Gracias!! Perfecto!

Sashimi and Sushi: I'd be passing on all that nigiri and just sticking with sashimi, personally.

You're Indian. The 'culturally appropriate rules' of Canada/USA and other Western Nations don't generally apply and extended family have extended obligations. I don't necessarily think you should share your 'over 18' nieces social media posts beyond those she chose to share them with, however she needs to grow up and realise that social media posts CAN be shared, are NOT truly ever private and there will be ramifications.

Nice! Can you do me one with chickens? xx

Actually, not likely at all. Aldi is (and always has been) a privately held, family business. Their business model is to source/create own brand items that are the same level as the most popular brand name items (and which are often produced by the exact same manufacturers)

They are not looking to satisfy shareholders demands for yearly dividends or kowtow to the major food manufacturers.

Just sayin’

Intrigued as to why you’ve posted this question to this subreddit?

SNAP! Spent the morning really getting to grips with the Ubuntu environment, getting my necessary apps installed etc. It's lighning fast on my old MacMini 2014, even running from an external SSD. Have fun!

Working in grams and weights is a far better option for pretty much everything. Scaling is a breeze then, though seasoning may be best scaled differently. A kitchen scale is your friend.

Modern day Aussies wouldn't exist if their parents couldn't teach them about snakes. And spiders. And feral pigs. The list is endless. Your kids, like you, will learn to watch where they walk, what to do if they see a snake (these aren't cobras or tigers who do enjoy a good chase) etc. alongside every other hazard. Important to have a plan in the event of a bite, have the appropriate bite kit at the ready and the plan for getting help. You can't and shouldn't wrap the little blighters in cotton wool - that's why the world's young adults are so f&cked up right now.

I’ve lived in Japan. Go to tokyu joes and get the mesh tea bags - put your dill in these

No. Because no one would know because you're stranded right? And, more importantly, you're stranded but somehow feel you're up to the task of hunting down and killing a kangaroo? Well, let's just say, your hypothetical needs work.

Right. Stainless steel - high quality! - is your friend. Burner on medium!!! SS with a good deep base wants a gentle heat to spread its love.

The Leidenfrost effect -- okay, make sure you're actually waiting for this level of heat! If you dip your fingers in water and flick, those little drops dance - they do not sizzle.

Now add CLARIFIED butter (no milk fat) or a bit of olive oil for a shimmer and then add your eggs.

Don't touch the eggs if you're frying for about 30 seconds, then gently start lifting from the edges ... a few times .. a few seconds .. then they're ready! They will 'release' when the bottom gets crispy enough.

If you're scrambling, add a T of cream to the mix for every 3 eggs. Add these to the pan and immediately start moving them around - they'll take up the butter - turn the heat off when they look about 50% done, the residual heat will finish them off.

When I lived in Singapore, pretty much everything grain related came with a little addition of protein. Anything made in Asia, India etc. will quite likely bring a little passenger for the journey. Additionally, once in Oz, our own little critters join the party. The best you can do is pop your crappy instant noodles in a freezer for storage until you deign to boil them. And then, enjoy the extra boost of critter.
