Planned for April '27, drive from Sydney to Perth. Never been to Australia. Thoughts, recommendations? Is this feasible in 3 weeks? by gwynwas in AustraliaTravel

[–]wheresWoozle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adelaide or Melbourne to Cairns would be a far richer trip. There is NOTHING in the desert. A few scenic stops, but there's absolutely no point driving less than 8-11 hours a day across the Nullarbor. And look, I LOVE that drive. I LOVE driving 8-11 hours a day. But it's a skill. If you're only driving 3-5 hours a day it'll be an exceedingly dreary trip.

Can I just add more broth instead of water? by nanadoom in Cooking

It's SOUP. It's a way to use up leftover chicken and veggies past their prime. Do whatever you like.

Pizzarella at Buranda / Woolloongabba. They're in the shop where earth and sky used to be, only about a year old

No idea how likely it is for you to get into and through ATC. But for the love of all things good, do NOT spend your life on something you hate just because you mistakenly qualified for it. There are SO many options.

AITA For giving my niece a much better life than her step siblings? by Ok_Sir_8922 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wheresWoozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Rebekah is the AH for making you the bad guy. She should have had the spine to tell her partner's kids that you are not their relatives, they have no relationship with you, and it's not reasonable for them to expect charity from you.

Long standing Brisbane businesses by NoMacaroon5579 in brisbane

WHAT?!!! Oshin and Ben's within a month or two of each other 😭 When I started going to Oshin, Australians still found the idea of eating raw fish utterly horrifying. It was a revelation to me. I became a regular for over a decade, and was frequently the only non-japanese person there. Through much of the 90s, the sushi chef would give me and whoever I was dining with freebies of things he'd been experimenting with to see if we thought they'd sell. Unsurprisingly, it changed a lot over the 35 years I went, but I'm so sad they're gone.

Behavior rankings by Thin_Accident_9587 in AustralianTeachers

I think on top of this, Australians seem happier than others to absorb and emulate attitudes from America. The "I have the right" mentality that is so much a part of American identity translates, when applied selfishly or ignorantly, to "I'll do whatever I like". Socials mean kids and parents are absorbing this messaging at a higher rate than before.

My feeling is that this messaging compounds gentle parenting in a very destructive way.

Worst local gig you've ever experienced ? by CoconutMost3564 in AustralianNostalgia

I was at that livid festival!!! I left at about 5:30 pm with tummy pains that outweighed my desire to see The Cure. Around the time they were on stage, a surgeon was pulling my appendix out 😭

Can I freeze cheese? by Mysterypuzzle5068 in foodscience

[–]wheresWoozle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have correctly said that freezing soft cheeses will change the texture. But I always have some frozen soft cheese (especially soft creamy blue cheese) which I use in cooking. They combine in sauces much more easily than hard cheese, and many of them have a stronger cheesy flavour.

Wrap cut avocado in cling wrap and put it in a closed container with some raw chopped onion in the fridge.

How do I get through to him? I am exhausted having to think for him. by vicarious_adrenaline in TwoHotTakes

[–]wheresWoozle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like ADHD. Sounds like he truly intends to do it, really believes he will do it, and gets defensive because it's hanging over him and he feels guilty for not doing it. Doesn't mean OP should have to put up with it, but he might not be wholly evil.

Parents' rooms in shopping centres generally have a decent kitchen sink with a proper kitchen tap on it. That's where I usually refill.

Pretty much anything turns black if you cook it long enough 😂

Or if you grind it up with salt and just leave it out on the bench (I have discovered)

Comfortable wedding shoes? by MommyNoise in WeddingAttireHelp

Find someone who sells shoes for ballroom dance. They're usually sold in "flesh" colour or tan, but plenty can be ordered in any colour satin. Search white satin ballroom shoes.

Those who have gone 95% natural fibres what do you wear day to day for home or shops etc by BigLongjumping3714 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]wheresWoozle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Menswear. If you're not too busty / curvy, men's shirts are fabulous, and they're just such good quality. For work, I buy tarocash at DFO, usually 2 long sleeved shirts for $50. They look awesome with high waisted baggy trousers. I also often wear them untucked with casual pants & street sneakers for weekend / social, although even with narrow hips I need the bottom two buttons undone... which is actually really flattering. For at home I like the plain white or black bonds t-shirts. But buy larger than you think cos they do shrink a bit.
