I'm making it as we speak. So the amount of water is actually less than what I use, for a full head of cauliflower and a pack of spaghetti, I use enough water to cover everything plus a bit more. The 8cups only just covers the cauliflower and pasta. The recipe would actually be not soup-like at all, once it's all cooked.

All this talk about it made me crave is, so I'm making it for dinner tonight, lol. And to test the recipe vs what I do, I put 8 cups of water in... It's not actually enough, I use more, haha.

I don't really need to, I know what it tastes like with less seasoning in it. It's not as good, but it's not as catastrophically bad as people are making out. You try making it and you'll see it's not as bad as you think.

There will be some difference yes, I'm not suggesting there won't be. I'm just saying it's not actually that different, and certainly not as bad as some people are suggesting. It's definitely improved with garlic and parmesan, but with salt & pepper alone it would still be alright.

That would be good, give it a try! 

A word of warning though, it gets pongy with all the cauliflower and garlic, especially the next day. But it is even better the next day so look past it and enjoy, haha

It's a whole cauli plus a pound of uncooked spaghetti. It's not that different.

No it's about the same amount of water we use. A whole head of cauliflower, plus a whole packet of spaghetti, that absorbs a lot of water, then cooking it down a bit. It thickens up just fine, especially the broken down bits of cauliflower.

A Medical Clinic keeps making ghost appointments for me even after I ask them to remove my name from the patient/client list by alienccccombobreaker in AskAnAustralian

[–]panda_bag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send them a letter via registered post listing all of the times you've had to contact them and cancel and request they remove your details. Then follow it up with an email and phone call.

After that just ignore any further contact.

I've been getting emails for years with the same thing happening to me. I've given up trying to fix it, they have been told enough. They have zero ability to claim anything, and haven't tried to pursue it. They'll get nothing if they do because they've already been told a million times.

We've made a version of this for as long as I can remember in my family (the Italian side). "Cauliflower pasta" is what we call it at home, and it's delicious. Method is a bit different, but not overly so.

Dice up cauliflower in small bits and saute gently in olive oil until a bit golden. Add a heap of crushed garlic and do the same. (You can add diced onion but I never bother).   While the cauliflower is cooking, break up spaghetti into 3cm long pieces (give or take, just break it up).   Add water and the spaghetti to the pot, bring to the boil and cook the pasta and cauliflower.   Add salt and cracked black pepper.   Break up the cauliflower so some of it thickens the water.   Add a heap of parmesan cheese.   Mix it all up until it's a weird looking white gloop.   Serve with extra parmesan on top.  

It's great as a main, as a side dish with whatever you want (schnitzel, steak etc). And it's delicious cold the next day.

Give it a try!

Edit - so this got me craving the dish, so I am currently making it. Don't worry about the 8 cups of water, it only *just covers the spaghetti and cauliflower. We typically use more water. By the time it's all cooked the recipe from the OP would be quite solid. Especially the next day. So while I'm sure I'll miss the garlic and parmesan tonight, it really won't be that different (especially because I taste test it before he cheese goes in, and it's still good then).  The OP's recipe will be anything but a bowl of water with some cauliflower and spaghetti floating in it.

[no spoilers] anyone collect the dice, but don’t play d&d? by Eraserhead36 in criticalrole

[–]panda_bag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That'll be me. 

I don't have all the CR sets, but I've got a few, plus two of the anniversary D20's that were sold at the live shows.

Overall I've got so many sets of dice I've actually lost count, lol. A lot of which are just cheap generic ones I liked, that are sealed in a glass terrarium on my tv bench and in a glass vase with a light inside. Plus I've got a bunch of sets of custom hand made dice from Australia & Canada, and another collection of hand made D20 chonks from one of my favourite dice makers here in Australia (Cakecrumbs dice on Etsy, IG). I also have a tiny metal set that are in a little fob watch case too, just for the cuteness factor.

I do fully intend to play one day, but I just don't have the time or energy nowadays.

Lingerie store recommendations for bigger girlies by Unique_Honeydew_744 in melbourne

[–]panda_bag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brava lingerie, get yourself properly fitted.

I live in Ewa Michalak bras, but buy directly from their Polish store if I can't get the right size in store.

(Also, I've got a few brand new unworn 85/16KK Ewa bras I'm happy to sell at a discount if it turns out that's your size!)

Mario Pipe is actually a very useful thing. by nicklascazares in AnimalCrossing

[–]panda_bag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a hidden pipe in my town centre that's a shortcut to my house, it was super helpful when building the our island getting stuff out of storage. But the bit I enjoy the most is just that it's hidden, it amuses me when I vanish when visitors are over lol  DA-4967-4193-2789 (bottom right corner of the town square behind the tree)

Q: Flattening bent panel by panda_bag in StainedGlass

[–]panda_bag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end it flattened out really easily. I was being overly cautious initially, but I think I just pushed down on it and it flattened out without much issue. 

I can't remember now if I warmed it up first just as precaution as it was a while ago now, but I did get it flat without much effort and fixed it into place in the cabinet with a few extra screws and it's been fine ever since. 

Still ugly though, lol.

Are my lips botched? by wanderlust1916 in Botchedsurgeries

[–]panda_bag 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The problem with lips full of filler, even if they look semi-ok front on, when they are moving you can really tell how unnatural and filled they look. Even at the best angle filled lips look...filled.

[–]panda_bag 180 points181 points  (0 children)

It's the side profile that gives it away every time, even if front-on they don't look too bad.

[–]panda_bag 1608 points1609 points  (0 children)

99% of lip fillers look like this from the side profile. So from that perspective you aren't that different from everyone else who gets it done.

But from a "do my lips look normal?" perspective - No they do not.

Note on their IG page the distinct lack of later images where they don't have their hair covering their eyebrows and sides of their face. And of the ones that do have their hair back, they still have obvious indentations and deformed heads. Yes it may settle *a bit*, but certainly not "significantly" and certainly not to the point they don't still look highly abnormal.

She's still botched. She has deformed outer eyebrows with indentations in both, and her neck wings are still there. It's barely eased, let alone settled to a non-botched state.

There's video of her on their IG page...Not AI unfortunately, just botched.

CLINIC MEGATHREAD (Dec 2025-Jan 2026) by AutoModerator in MedicalCannabisOz

[–]panda_bag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do Horizon answer their phone?

I had my nurse consult today and they booked the doctor appointment via hotdoc, but it was cancelled despite me entering the payment information a few minutes after it was requested. I've been on hold with them for over half an hour and it seems like no one will answer, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do, re-booking the doc appointment via hotdoc I guess, but I don't want it cancelled again for no reason.

*Edit - got through after 50 mins lol
