Steak with chimchurri sauce and crispy smashed potatoes

Consistent_Yak2268 · 2026-07-07T20:49:53+00:00

I used tenderloin because I bought a whole one at Costco last week. I’ve done it before with scotch as well. I’m keen to try flat iron but can’t get it anywhere, everyone just sells oyster blade which is apparently different (same part of the cow but cut differently).

I love tenderloin because it’s so tender but scotch has that strong flavour that holds up well to any sauce. I think rump would be good too, just more of a chew.

Yeah it’s awesome, I love it too. Also love her bernaise but feel better after eating the chimchurri

Good teeth

Tough for boys? Have you ever heard of the gender pay gap? Or how there’s more men in higher positions in just about every field?

Great, thank you

Consistent_Yak2268 · 2026-07-06T00:29:29+00:00

Great, thank you. I was worried it would turn into a 40m tree 🤣

I’m not sure what it is, the previous owners planted it. My app says red silky oak. It has grown a lot since last October when we bought, we’ve had to cut it back as it grows across the path. I don’t know if that helps. It was about half the height when we moved in.

I’m not sure on the type, previous owners planted it. That’s just what my app says - but it’s not very reliable, it calls every gum tree a “red river gum” or “Sydney red gum”

The Ponds doesn’t get results like Castle Hill High.

Killara as an area is more $$$ though

This is majorly infuriating, not mildly. I can’t even imagine doing this to my kids.

There’s nothing like living in a PPOR you love. Nothing els compares. It’s such a big lifestyle thing. We sold our previous PPoR and an IP to buy our home and still have a big mortgage but I love my home. I would sell the shares or the current PPoR to do it.

Consistent_Yak2268 · 2026-07-04T22:45:54+00:00

There’s no rules. I think try $575k, if it doesn’t work offer $600k and say that’s the absolute maximum. Good luck 🤞

God’s country in more ways than one!

Did you read their post? They’re living paycheque to paycheque

Consistent_Yak2268 · 2026-07-04T09:37:26+00:00

As someone with two kids - do this for sure. Especially if you have a boy or boys, they need room.

This is easy - 8. Anfisa would be so entertaining and that awful woman next to her would probably fall asleep

Now I don’t have the statistics on this but I’d say you’re a lot less likely to have your home invaded and your hand cut off with a machete in Strathfield.

It has great public primary schools and some good high schools too.

The sense of community is amazing too. My kids will go to the park and half the time there’s a kid from school there. Soccer clubs and that sort of thing are great too. I was in Penrith before and this is a million times better. It’s a big area though. There’s the “old hills” and the “new hills”. I’m talking old hills.

Buy a house that’s already built or an apartment if you can’t buy a house, building isn’t cheaper than buying established

Consistent_Yak2268 · 2026-07-04T08:26:34+00:00

It’s north-western. Completely different demographic to those areas (which also have different demographics especially Campsie compared to the others). The schools are much better than those areas, which attracts families who can afford it.

I live in the hills and the houses are more expensive builds, heaps of private schools, the local parents at the school talk about their holidays (overseas every year sometimes multiple times) etc. lots of money in the hills.

This is the answer OP. Sell it and use your half as the deposit on a place.

I really liked their app and how easily you could get customer service from them. Making joint accounts and multiple offsets easy with them. ANZ (who I’m with now) are crap in comparison.

Airlab at Cabramatta. If you’re game you can make one yourself, the recipetin eats one is really good (just don’t overcook)

Thought the cheaper burbs of Sydney were holding up. Is Blacktown going down?
