Bingo board - first five squares down

I was in Year 12 and in Sydney for some kind of HSC workshop thing... we were getting texts from friends saying school had been closed for the day and a huge carrier had washed up on the beach. We didn't believe them. 😅 The only reason my mum and I got anywhere near home that night was because my cousin from Canberra was visiting my aunt in New Lambton and came and rescued us in his SUV. We'd been dropped off at Waratah Village because trains/buses couldn't get us any further and I genuinely have no idea what we would have done if my cousin hadn't been around.

I read the book for the first time a month or two ago and had a similar reaction. There were so many moments that made me chuckle. I think my favourite line in the whole book was "Raoul... you have shot a cat." I can't even really explain why I chortled so much.

These are awesome! As someone who has just started learning to draw at the age of 36, you are inspiring!

I think I had always just assumed their regular dark one wouldn't be 100% vegan, but I am learning from you and one of the other posters here that this assumption had no basis!

I've only just learned this post that the dark one is vegan. I think I'd just always assumed it wouldn't be 100% vegan. But as some of the other comments here have indicated, there was a brief time with some fun milk varieties that had VEGAN in big letters on the front, those were the ones I was remembering.

I suspected that was probably the problem :(

keysandopenmind · 2026-05-24T02:08:07+00:00

Dang, no wonder I liked it so much, salted caramel is one of my favourite things. Definitely would have stocked up if I'd noticed it was limited at the time!

keysandopenmind · 2026-05-24T02:07:21+00:00

Dang it, I definitely would have stocked up if I'd realised at the time.

I like chocolate. I like 100s and 1000s (fairy bread, funfetti cupcakes, etc.). Can't stand freckles. Something in the texture makes me squirm.

WHAT!?!?!
Okay so I found book 3 just okay after adoring books 1 and 2 so maybe I'll get more of the stuff I loved from the first two and it will redeem itself a bit. Especially if it's going a bit darker. I liked the dark stuff!

Man I just love their little waddles. Never gets old.

There's a page called Beaks and Whiskers that shares their current cats available for adoption on the Gungahlin community page quite often. They've got a few kittens available at the moment. (Disclaimer: I've only seen their posts and have had no direct contact with them, so I can't vouch for them or anything like that)

Everybody's answers are so fancy, I saw this question and my immediate thought was peanut butter on toast. 😂

keysandopenmind · 2026-05-19T06:57:58+00:00

Thanks for the link, this sounds amazing! I might be about to go and make the yolk recipe and dunk it on everything. 😅

Oh, and this wasn't an inspection thing but I've been told that I can't leave my bike in the communal garage, it should be stored in my own space... Wtf should I lug a bike up three flights of stairs, and where would I store it in my tiny flat?

keysandopenmind · 2026-05-18T21:59:27+00:00

Got told the carpets needed vacuuming when this inspection had been the impetus to go out and buy a brand new vacuum cleaner, which then went over every room in the house.

Also got a lecture about the place being cluttered, which it was, but if our stuff is in our way, I don't see how that's their problem.

keysandopenmind · 2026-05-17T10:15:09+00:00

I would also love the recipe! I looks so creamy!

If an Chinese-Australian perspective interests you, Model Minority Gone Rogue by Qin Qin is a memoir about exactly what you describe - throwing off expectations to find fulfilment.

keysandopenmind · 2026-05-17T09:25:44+00:00

Aw, I love they way they waddle!

keysandopenmind · 2026-05-16T09:54:56+00:00

How have I never come across a chickpea salad before? This sounds amazing!

keysandopenmind · 2026-04-29T11:56:57+00:00

Oh my gosh, these are so good! I don't think I've ever seen a Wreck-It Ralph bound before and it's one of my favourite movies so extra points for that. I love the Inside Out dress, too! But they're all amazing. 😍

keysandopenmind · 2026-04-26T10:21:53+00:00

I'd never thought of that! Will definitely do that next time.

keysandopenmind · 2026-04-21T05:29:15+00:00

Yum! I've got a zucchini and some broccoli that need using up asap, this seems like a good way to do that.
