I was looking at pasta recipes with pineapple and apparently it is a thing. It's called Hawaiian pasta. Everything that's on a Hawaiian pizza is in the pasta. Genius.

Variants exist, but basically obtain and peel whole fresh pineapple. Core it. Stuff with pork fillet. Wrap entire thing in bacon. BBQ and/or smoke. Food coma. swineapple

I just gotta do this for next christmas with fam. The screams will be heard across the border. Might roll the pork fillets in hawt sauce before stuffing though, for extra shits & giggles.

Very tempted to sell some of my stoncks, and buy a 2 bedroom older walk up unit. Still have room for the CGT taxable part of the sale to go into First home super, and it's de-risking in case of a crash.

There's a tonne of them coming up for sale right now, and the mortgage + strata payments work out to be around the same as the rent.

What price range are you looking at?

[โ€“] prime_factor@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Under $500K. Ideally under $450K.

Movie review. Knight of Cups with Christian Bale.

This movie is so beautiful nearly made me cry.

I stupidly ordered nestle hot choc sachets from Amazon without checking the ingredients. Corn syrup dammit. Had the nestle hot choc sachets at a training centre in the city and could only find them on Amazon. Clearly not the same though.

That is disappointing. I have them supplied at work, so if you want lots of them you could try an office supply store.

Edit: I just had a quick look and Officeworks has it available online - you can get a 750g pack of the same mix if you don't want to buy 100 individual sachets!

Oooh thank you infinitely much. They make my office days much nicer.
