He/him. Occasionally amusing. Mainly food bikes and dogs

Kirikiriroa (Hamilton NZ)

Pinned Skeet - I know we can't buy our way out of the climate crisis, but the joy I feel every time I ride my cargo bike makes me feel like it should be a thing.
It's a curse

This is sooo lazy - the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991...

Georgia the country is older than the drug smuggler.

First grazing dinner of the season. Worked from home today so I even managed to put some chickpeas on to soak.

Boo and Yaayyy - Glad the bad news is of the "silver lining if you squint" variety.

Wigs! Scarves - also buff's (those tube thingies) are great if you want to look like a pirate!

I 100% agree - and its so easy to despair - I'm choosing to be the change I want and voting accordingly - unfortunately too many people want simple answers and are unwilling to face reality.

- as you can see I've been hoarding memes to help with the existential despair

all this is valid, but not doing anything will definitely lead to a shit outcome. I understand the worry.

Dinner was some blade steak (sous vide for 90 mins to render fat and start breaking down cartilage) with a melange of vegetables - broccoli and broad beans from the garden and the rest from the fridge. Potatoes roasted in lard (leftover from rillettes last week)

Mistakes were made…

Beef and broccoli with shiitake mushrooms. It was amazing- got the velveting perfect and the sauce was just sooo good. 11/10 I hope I remember what I did for next time.
