Can't get no luck.

I bought some Shawarma here in Ottawa (pretty much what they call kebabs here, I think it's Lebanese here rather than Turkish etc. - also we got veggie stuff, because I'm vegetarian, but I digress..) and ordered some "strong garlic sauce" to go with it.

What was sent was, as far as I could tell, literally just minced garlic in a very small amount of oil.

I like a good garlicky sauce but that's just too much.

They do all of the things. They have weight sensors on the shelves, cameras everywhere that visually recognise when items are put into your trolley, and also (I think optionally?) special trolleys that have (I think) RFID sensors and also weight sensors.

It uses a load of cameras plus shelf weight to track when a product is removed/replaced and who did it.

So if you’re short and someone gets something off a high shelf for you, they would get charged.

Had this garlic sauce in Romania which had a horse-raddishy spice to it. You'd feel its in your nostrils and every time you took another sip if your drink.

Used to regularly get my lunch from a falafel stand in Hendon that would completely smear the inside of the pita bread with pure mashed garlic if you asked, before pouring tahini and humous on top.

As long as they’re fed and you’re fed, gently caress off anything else. You’ll never get rid of the winging it feeling though.

Those are some loving nice looking yorkies. Got good gravy to fill them with? They are one of the few genuine British foods that my American partner is OK with.

She remains very unconvinced by pork pies and scones.

I still need to make her toad in the hole...

So anyway, our painter canceled on us last minute. As a result we got to spend the entire day (after a quick trip to wicks in a taxi for supplies) mist coating the kitchen, yay. I'm absolutely knackered, and also very glad that bepanthen acts as a guard against paint splash for a healing tattoo!

I am now drinking rum and coke in bed. Tomorrow maybe they start work on fitting the kitchen. I'm getting real good at cooking things on the bbq tho. We made a chocolate brownie and even managed to roast potatoes and make a pot of tea!

Oh-ho! I have a 6mo so feel free to ask me anything and I'll pass the question on to me from 2 months ago. I think there's a couple other super new parents here too.

Yeah there's a bunch of us (mine's 6 month too :)). Lurked the parenting thread before the big day, never really felt like posting tho as it's mostly a chat thread, & I'm too old to start out in a new chat thread.

However, if someone wanted to start a UKMT parent chat thing I'd be down :)

I'm posting this with my 7 week old daughter sleeping on my chest, and my three year old sleeping upstairs.

You never don't feel like you're winging it. In any aspect of life. I still basically feel like I'm a 20yo student, just blearily making it up as I go along until someone finds out and puts a stop to it.

Best and most concise advice I ever had about parenthood was just 'be present, and be kind'. I think if you can achieve that, then your kids will probably turn out pretty well.

Actually I remember joking in early lockdown that Boris might actually get his Brexit baby boom he was briefly wanking on about, because everyone was home all the time & there was a condom shortage. But the stats show that births went down, turns out most people feel pretty bleak about the future & don't feel like reproducing.

Sure as gently caress shooting up on these forums though, hoping that's reflective of the left in general. Zoomer2.0 looking pretty woke

aww I miss that bit :) ours will still have a cwtch with me (& only me, she has far higher demands of her mum) when I'm too tired to be fun dad, but the very early just having a baby chilling on your chest the whole time was lovely. & yeah Just Wing It All The Time is the best advice imo, but I'm confident enough in the correctness of it that it doesn't even feel like winging any more. Nobody knows your kid better than you do, so just go with your gut on everything, far better hit rate than thinking literally ever. Or reading books, or listening to other people talking authoritatively about it, therein lies madness.

Also "smoke a weed & watch In the Night Garden" is fantastic parenting advice, highly recommended. Even if ur not a parent
