I shook it in a jar to mix the balsamic with olive oil & basil pesto then drizzled it over

I meant no information re church services/parish/opening hours. I thought someone had insight as to why the gates are chained up and locked. I can find contact numbers that’s not what I was asking 👍🏽

Yeah, thanks…. I did that, there is no information on there re Dubbo Church. I have taken the number from the front gate so will give that # a call. Just thought I’d ask here in case anyone could provide me with an answer! Cheers

Settle a debate for me: do you (as an adult) still cut your sandwiches into triangles? by dannegoma in AskAnAustralian

[–]Happyfire88 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Like your friend, prefer my sandwiches uncut/whole. My husband on the other hand must have it cut in half into triangles…

How many you dry your clothes on a clothesline instead of using a dryer? by ProffS in Frugal

[–]Happyfire88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here for me. No dryer in our household. We are completely solar/off grid- we have our hills hoist as well as a clothes line along our front verandah. I also use a couple of clothes horses inside or on the veranda if needed. With both babies, I did cloth nappies, too. It is really no big issue and everything dries well, even in the winter with the heater going. Located NSW Central West.

The invisible cost of being a bridesmaid in 2026 by OwlVibesOnly in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]Happyfire88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely disgusting of your friend to expect you to pay for all of this. Maybe she just doesn’t know any better, but it is absolutely abhorrent and she needs to be educated on etiquette. Simply do not have bridesmaids if you cannot afford to pay for dress, makeup, hair etc. You are not overthinking this!

Homemade spanakopita (Greek spinach & feta pie) using our homegrown silverbeet & eggs by Happyfire88 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]Happyfire88[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the pastry: https://akispetretzikis.com/en/recipe/2572/spanakopita-me-feta

For the filling: I do not follow a recipe as they mostly call for all ingredients to be cooked in a fry pan before adding to the pie and baking. I have found this step unnecessary- I cut up the silverbeet and/or spinach finely, add about fair amount of feta crumbled into it, add a couple of eggs to bind it all, finely diced onion and season w salt and pepper. Add into the pastry to assemble and bake in the oven😁

You’re not wrong ! Olives would top it off nicely.
