Overview

But...but...today is National French Fry Day!

That's too hot.. its 22c here feeling like 29c. Also too hot. i hate summer. Hey you have a great trip, chris.. wow, I'm sure it will be amazing. Now, happy Friday. i need to think of what i need from the grocery store. Do we have to eat? I mean really. We've spent years eating, can we just stop now? Wouldn't life be wonderful if you just eat Danish and donuts for breakfast, fast food along with a Tim Hortons's cappuccino thing for lunch and watermelon, pineapple and cherries for dinner and whatever dessert you want later. Sigh.. but no, we have to eat vegetables.. so Korean BBQ pork with stir-fried flat cabbage, onion, peppers and carrot for dinner on some nice jasmine rice.

A rather toasty 35c.

i didn't go there.. just froze the disc, then picked it up and splodged the chocolate on.. so that they have a coating on the top and bottom.. not around the sides unless it slid down there on its own..

This sounds like an amazing trip. Not gonna lie ... I'm hella jellie. Have fun and in addition to avoiding the creepy crawlies don't challenge a kangaroo to a boxing match. Guaranteed you'll lose.

I had a little trouble getting the chocolate to coat the silicone mini-muffin cups. I think next time I'll add a splash of milk or cream just to thin it out a tad. I ended up with 24 pieces that were a little bigger than the individually wrapped peanut butter cups that should only be bought in bulk lol. Mmmm peanut butter 🤤

What he said.

@chris191070, this conversation in no way detracts from my excitement for your trip. I know it'll be amazing. Take pictures, but mostly, be in the moment and enjoy it. Just be prepared for a debrief when you return!

All true. I'm severely arachnophobic so it's a no go for me.

The funnelweb. Yes. And those little bastards are aggressive! 🕷️

It's the home of the second most venomous spider in the world.

I laugh because I do want to see the Down Under. Uluru alone would be amazing... But their wildlife is SCARY. No petting strange spiders, @chris191070!

I made eight. They are slightly smaller than regular peanut butter cups. Chocolate is a bit too thick, but i'm okay with that. lol

Have fun. It's one place I have no interest in visiting.

Not long until our Australia Trip International flights are via Hong Kong. Leave UK 26th July arrive Brisbane 27th July 9 days with family - Brisbane 2 nights Ayres Rock 4 nights Sydney 3 nights Melbourne 3 nights Adelaide 2 nights Kangaroo Island 4 nights Perth

We're still working our way through the batch I made. No complaints from the peanut gallery so I don't think they mind the slight tang. Have a good day!

@kbois thanks to you, i used less skyr to avoid the soury thing.

Okay, yesterday I made frozen peanut butter cup pops. There are real recipes online, but i watched a short on YouTube.. you need Greek yogurt but i used skyr as it is a little less sour and our 25% less fat smooth peanut butter, 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla and i think about 1/2 a tablespoon of splenda brown because our PB is not sweet. I maybe used 1/2 a cup of pb and a heaping tablespoon of yogurt. I was just making a small batch.. After i mixed the pb and skyr, it wasnt pb flavour enough so i added a bit more. And mixed everything together, then on a small tray lined with parchment it spooned out some satisfactory sized dollups and then shaped them a bit with wet fingers into discs. Then froze them.. then i melted some chocolate chips with a bit of butter and painted that onto the discs on both sides.. put them back on the parchment and froze them. They are soooo good. Michael and I had a couple last night while at the 'movies'. They are very yummy.

Oh boy...It's Thursday, so have a good one. This one made me think and smile: Spock is definitely one of my best friends. When I put on those ears, it's not like just another day. When I become Spock, that day becomes something special. Leonard Nimoy

You are going to love it. Promise.

Something to add to my Watch List. Thank you 👍👍

Watched The Hail Mary Project tonight...it was a wonderful film. We both liked it a lot. Currently showing on Amazon Prime. Best thing i've seen for a while.

Cheese? You can bring stuff, but it's not required.

I wouldn't have thought. I have Vegan cheese, now where's my welcome packet? Is chocolate inside?😁

Probably a good thing lol.
