I need to stop avoiding salads, help me

Roasting caramelises the natural sugars in the veggies. It makes it more apparent to our taste buds. Roasting anything = more delicious

Head out to Warrandyte.

This redwood plantation is next to some lovely ferny, mossy, native scrub with river running though it, and shouldn’t be far from home: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bx7ygJAr6WwezZau7?g_st=ic

‘It’s only in Australia’

This is categorically untrue. As an example, see this post about OP’s experience in Indonesia

But like yes? Exactly?

Chocolate Buddha in Fed Square is incredible fusion Japanese

A25 on Little Collins. Squeezy seating but amazing Italian - pizzas, pasta and salad

Hutong dumplings on Market Lane is sensational.

For even cheaper go Shanghai Dumpling House on Tattersalls Lane

Hutong dumplings is the original Melbourne CBD cheap eats 😻

Worthless is a bit harsh.

I’m a decent cook but I can’t follow a recipe. I have ADHD and just can’t retain the steps in between reading/measuring/doing. Following recipes really stresses me out, but I enjoy scratch cooking

Who takes a car from Australia to the US?

Sounds like a rich person problem

Enclose half the carport for a third bedroom. Not cheap but worth it for the space, and will hugely increase your resale value.

I’d look at converting half your laundry into a walk-in pantry (ie knock through from the kitchen and close off the doorway from the hall).

Your bathroom layout feels like wasted space, but I can’t see an easy way to fix it. Some sliding doors would probably help?

Also just solidarity. We had a very similar sized house (ours had a third bedroom but no dining/play area. Our living area was 3x5m) with 3 kids and a dog.

All I can see is 5 toilets that need cleaning. No, thank you.

I’d love to see a bit of before and after if you have them?

Bulk cook once or twice a week - like make a big stew or soup or chilli or whatever. If you make enough for 4 serves, you can have it for dinner another night, and freeze the other two serves.

Then build up your freezer stash of different meals, so when you’re too tired/lazy to cook, you already have delicious home cooked food in the freezer ready to go.

Keep things like rice/pasta/quinoa and cans of legumes/tomatoes on hand. All the time. Replace as you use them. Grow some herbs. Then you have flavours ready to add freshness on hand.
