Dinner tonight, my stepdaughter Maria's all-time favourite, it's just a pity she's over the other side of the world (in Greece).

Chicken schnitzel, mashed potato, asparagus drizzled with EVOO & lemon juice.

Enjoy your evening

Oh they don't have to send me pics of their cat, if it's on their profile, that's an instant block from me! ๐Ÿ˜

Nice touch RFC ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–ค

Was watching Rhy Gieschen chat about the recruiting team, he did a remarkable job to hold it together when speaking of Chris Toce (R.I.P.) and his contribution to the effort.

Then I noticed the "CT" on his shirt ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–ค

It's on my profile ("I like to cook"), I used to regularly post the results *on another platform* (no prizes for guessing it!), so here's tonight's effort.

Butter chicken, recipe: www.recipetineats.com/butter-chick..., Jasmine rice, coriander & pappadams.

Enjoy your evening ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ

My standard response as they nonchalantly wander on is a loud enough to be heard "You're welcome".

Sometimes I get a "sorry" or "thank you", but they are rare ๐Ÿ˜‰

I really should see if he means business or it's just an idle threat, will try it out tomorrow, sleep beckons now ๐Ÿ˜ด

Hey @crowbar.wtf ... wtf indeed !

A local production, 3 seasons, 6 episodes in each, noted, adding it to my list. Which is getting longer every day !

I see SBS are advertising the 4th season of "My Beautiful Friend", an Italian production, that's one of my all time faves, and a 2nd series of Tokyo Vice as well, so many decisions!

That's it in a nutshell, quote, "as long as they're friendly" ๐Ÿ˜‰

It's on my "to see list", but it's a LONG waiting list at the moment!

Agree with what you say but I'm finding people following me that, as far as I can see from their profiles/ limited posts so far, don't have a lot in common with my likes, pursuits, ideals, call-it-what-you-will.

Very much a "let's see how it pans out" situation atm ๐Ÿ˜‰

17.11.2024 02:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Can't see it in either SBS On Demand or (ABC) iView's catalogues Dave, which is a pity as I can only afford the free ones ! ๐Ÿ˜‰

17.11.2024 02:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's obviously been on SBS' catalogue for years in plain sight but for some reason it hadn't registered in my brain.

Thought I'd check an episode out and, well, I was hooked from the get go! ๐Ÿ˜„

Tell me about it Dave!

My current position is Series 3, 6 episodes deep including two 2.30am finishes because "I really should go to bed" out of the last 3 nights, it's so addictive!

Only a guess (given this is day 2 on this platform myself!) but in the preliminary process where you get to tick your interests, did you perhaps have cats as an interest ?

I'm a dog kind of guy myself, not that I have either ๐Ÿ˜‰
