Lolie posted:Gonna try to perfect my pie game this winter. It's getting harder to find decent pies, let alone great ones. Gordon Ramsay's chicken and winter vegetable one is a cracker I been working on my egg pies (quiches) recently and making some progress. Just had a noticeable swing toward darker clouds and the heat in the shed just disappeared literally within the last 5 mins at the Mrs place

ili posted:What type are you going to perfect first? There's so many pies out there. Probably chicken and leek. I have a nice filling but I've only ever made it with frozen pastry so I want to find the perfect shortcrust and puff for it. Pepper steak and steak and kidney are the other priorities, and of course a plain meat pie. I'm not a big fan of most of the gourmet pies, so I'll be looking to keep it simple.

We have rain. Only light rain at the moment, but rain nonetheless. Temp has dropped to 26.

i keep rolling back and forth from "brother in law is depressed and I get it and its frustrating but he's family so its ok" to "I swear to god if I have to drag this shitcunt kicking and screaming to do the most basic day to day tasks i have been asking him to do for weeks I'm gonna snap and drive a car off the 13 into a lake" so fast lately I'm getting whiplash. I know it speaks more to my current state of mind than his but jfc I asked for help getting the whipper snipper operational and its been 8 hours and it turns out he can't find the whipper snipper head after we already mixed up some 2 stroke and prepped and tested the engine so I'm using a brush cutter for a completely inappropriate job i'll see you boys from the hospital

Lost power twice just now which would suck if not for the fact that it set off the alarm on my UPS and I have a powerful hangover Semi related I'm done with Acid for at least a while.

I don't even use that much, 1 egg per tablespoon of heavy cream and a shitload of filling. The egg mix is basically just there to bind it all together for me. I use gruyere or other similar cheese in mine, about 80g mixed with that cream and egg mix then another 20 odd grams on top

i genuinely don't think so, although NVJ fever has really brought out the weird proto-fascist dickheads on the local country fuckwit fb groups so if it is i'll probably be seeing and hearing a lot of it real soon

One would have to assume, based on the way everything else in Australian lad culture is, that it is a very clever way of marketing to "im not racist but" racists

Isaac posted:Pissing in a bottle while driving is real hard. Not a move to tey for the first time in a high pressure environment A key factor when pissing while driving is getting something like a chocolate milk or iced coffee with a wide neck so you can get a good knob-to-rim seal with little effort. If you've only got a thin-necked coke or water bottle (or even worse; a can), it's a lot more work to ensure everything's aligned and its probably worth just pulling over. Disposing of your piss jugs considerately is also important.

Big fan of roadside pissing Sometimes you get to make eye contact with passing traffic, sometimes amuse a herd of cows. Also you can do some roadside archaeology because theres always something worth either sqizzing at or pissing on
