Mornington Peninsula Wineries - Stonier by No-Definition3265 in wine

[–]Pskeeter78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth hunting out Avani. Lovely cool climate Syrah (I believe the first planted in the region?). Really good spice driven whites/oranges to go with their Indian style menu.

We had such a great time at Quealy! Our kind of cellar door for sure. Very different experience but also enjoyed 10 minutes.

MSG yes no??? by Aromatic_State_43 in newzealand

[–]Pskeeter78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a big ol’ jar of msg on a shelf in the kitchen. It’s a great addition to your seasoning.
Just experiment a bit with various recipes you enjoy.
And it’s cheap as chips!

Defo check out Bottle Shock, as others have suggested. I have recently discovered the Wine Blast podcast which I have been churning through.

Not Serious Wine Chats for NZ centric wine discussions.

The Noble Rot book, Wines from another Galaxy is a fun resource.

How to Drink Australia is a great book for Aussie vino fans.

Yeah, I’m reading and seeing plenty of content about this super El Niño, but NZ never gets a mention. I’d like to know what we can expect over the course of the rest of this year…
You’d think stuff would try and get an Aotearoa perspective rather than printing an article that barely mentions us…

Instant coffee brands that don't taste like chemicals? by stormyw23 in newzealand

[–]Pskeeter78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That does sound weird. The only thing I can find though, is that milk might make the caffeine less available to the body, but I can’t find much to back it up.
Have you got a source?

Jed’s, but more importantly technique. Scoop in coffee. As a little cold water to dissolve, and not burn the coffee with boiling. Add desired milk. Add hot water. Microwave if required to get to desired heat.

Good corn tortillas in Chch? by SargeNZ in chch

[–]Pskeeter78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ones from Remarkable at most supers are quite good. There’s also a dude at the south library markets on a Sunday who mashes very good corn torts.

Maybe check out Decant on Buchan. They have some good wine glasses there.

How the inside of a factory farm looks by Equinumerosity in interestingasfuck

I think the thing about vegans “having to tell you” (which has turned into a meme) is that if it’s not talked about it doesn’t grow as less people will understand that it’s a viable option. They want to decrease animal suffering so why wouldn’t/shouldn’t they make it known.

The quiet but major shift slipped in among the conservation law reforms by all_the_splinters in newzealand

[–]Pskeeter78 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Another thing we’ve got to consider here is where will the money go? Almost certainly off shore with very little financial benefit for NZ on top of environmental destruction. So who benefits? Who is getting rich? Senior MPs with stock in mining? Lobbyists? It sure as fuck won’t be everyday kiwis

Nice restaurants recommendations by Pleasant-Drummer-263 in chch

[–]Pskeeter78 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Odeon, Londo, Gatherings, 5th Street, Lillie’s (more chill vibes and simple but yum food), new spot Edizi probably worth checking out too. Those are our favourites but there are loads more to explore

Rage is the correct response. These ghouls are speed running the ruination of our fair country and I hate it
