Happy Birthday!

I’ll jump on a plane for that beautiful creamy mash. Other half doesn’t like any type of mash so I never cook it but always have food envy when I see it on any plate. Delicious!

No rendering? Does he know anything about cooking lamb? #MKR

Exactly. It looked superb coming from the oven. And as you say he should have made a sauce to serve it in. Elementary stuff.

Anything in a cream sauce - asparagus, leeks, scallops. Always a winner.

Shredding the duck before the pastry is cooked is a ‘dry disaster’ waiting to happen #MKR

Cutting them in half and no roe. Not in my household! #mkr

Oh I hear you. There’s nothing better than a house full of young ones particularly boys, their noisiness, and appetites!!!

They do grow up fast. And then also move away! That’s the hardest part. We have one in Melbourne the other in LA.

Ditto.

Our two young grandsons and their parents were standing on a grass verge crossing the road at St Kilda yesterday morning and he drove up, stopped, got out shook their hands and chatted to them about skating. So random and generous. But the kids will remember it for a very long time.

I don't but still loved it. And I didn't think I would. Also helps that he jumped out of his car yesterday and shook the hands of our family including two young grandsons who were waiting to cross the street to go to the skate park. So generous of him. They're still buzzing.

They’re all around our place too. Love them.

Very little cooking. Lots of cross table barbs.

They've been horrendous. We look over the Derwent and mountain from our place. The river was angry as with massive white caps, because of the constant ferocious weather. The gum trees in front of our house are just bending backwards with the wind's force. Sick of it.

Frightening how everyone including our PM, is cow-towing to his unhinged opinions without question.

I was just going to ask you how long you lasted and saw your follow-up post. Did they focus on the audience and its reaction in that 20 minutes? I'd love to see images of participants with their hands over their faces in true 'cringeworthy' fashion.

*picksters*

I do develop a lot of plaque which they say is a good (healthy) thing but it means hygienist visits every six months.

I hate the cold water spray. Those irrigators hurt my teeth and feel uncomfortable. And then when they use those picks to pull plaque out between the teeth. Agh! But I guess they do the job! I have lots of gaps in my teeth now so am constantly using floss and picketers!! hahaha.

Hope it goes well. Had my hygienist appt last week. Hate the whole process and the way she hacks the plaque off my teeth. Worse than the dentist ... and I don’t have your syndrome.

Kudos if you want to do it. I watch a lot of my friends using social media to post their daily thoughts, fears, and innermost feelings and I wonder why they feel they need to. It's sad. Chatting face to face is lost. Even texting has taken over. Social media is good, sometimes, but mostly it isn't.

Exactly. We need to get to the root causes of anti-social behaviour and find mechanisms to fix it! Punishment is not the answer.

The critical thinkers who are working from a base of evidence are probably all just naysayers.

I’d love to know how many hours there are to the entire night. They seem to have long periods between courses. We wouldn’t put up with that in a restaurant.

With you, both in the result and the word itself!

We seem to have on the island today. Ghastly! But we do live in the Roaring 40s.

But we are talking about Paul Murray! Enough said.

Agree and very much in the news. I had little option but to choose it based on words that have been used before but I thought it an odd one. With Wordle though, the odd ones seem to win out.
