Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Looks like he remembers me! Owner left very early this morning so arrived and it was just him. He freaked out for a few seconds then seemingly a few neurons fired.
Still has the puppy head tilt.
Of course he remembers you! He’s a Border Collie. The smartest breed around. Plus you feed him gourmet meals. He’s one lucky boy.
what a handsome dog 💗🐶
Gosh he’s so handsome!!
Between hambam and bboi butterz you have quite the range of models in your stable
First walk with hambam in a while and I think I’m changing my mind on his intelligence.
He actually walked like a normal dog and didn’t try and herd wheelie bins this time.
So proud of him.
Edit and my aunt is rocking these atm:
Guessing they’re a foxglove thing
cheesy buns were made and are being eaten by seagoons
Looks delish 😍
Thanks. 😊 they are cheesy scrolls buns. I roll out the dough with a rolling pin, spread with cheese and herbs then roll it up, cut into slices and bake.
You make it sound so simple but I’m sure I will fail at this. I’ll try it one day though!
Omg. They look ripper. What cheese did you use?
a mix of pizza cheese and cheddar
Lovely. The most versatile cheeses of all time.
ooh looks great.
I’m in an uber running late for an appointment and anxious like hell, the driver isn’t taking the route I’d normally take (or suggested by uber itself) - but bloody hell, he has amazing luck - got a right turn at the bloody Princess St roundabout within a minute AND hit Station St Fairfield just as the train gates were lifting so crossed it instantly. This could’ve easily taken an extra 10 minutes…
I’d ask him what app he’s using or it’s from his own experience.
I dont think it’s experience, it’s just plain black magic if you manage to cross Station St in one go at most times of the day…
Just went down to Bunnings and bought 2 x these things to put in front of one of my big balcony windows to hopefully help block a bit of the afternoon sun + add a bit of colour to the joint. I have them sitting precariously on top of each other, but I think it looks alright!
I really need to get around to selling those 2 monitors on the floor. Also please ignore my dirty windows, I’m cleaning them after work.
Didn’t know you could get cats in Bunnings. Hmm.
is that a real cat
What cat? Are you ok?
mutated polar bear?
Seriously though, it’s a plush cat I bought years ago for the sole purpose of taking it to work, getting to meetings before everyone else then spinning around in my chair petting the cat and saying “ah I’ve been expecting you”, Bond villain style.
Tiny Wampa
MIL has come to stay for a week with one days notice. Weekday drinking to cope…
That’d be a no from me.
I’d be coming down with covid.
“you still think that’s real?”
Mushroom dinner
Why the fuck did you open the door? 🍸🍸
I was out walking the doggo…
broom-rider.
I rarely go into the city these days, even less so at night, but tomorrow is the exception as we have tickets for Dara O’Briaine at Hamer Hall :)
Dinner and drinks on Southbank before the show at 8pm. Apparently it goes on for over two hours! Hope there’s an interval.Have a wee before you sit down.
good bot 🔋

It seems I’m completely carrying the Aussie Frugal Living instance at the moment. 😮 Am I just the biggest tightarse on here?
I’ve got more recipes to contribute there or in Food Australia but they’re more poverty food that’s not always healthy so they might get mocked a bit as gross. Melbourne is a foodie city. Also mending suggestions might be pointless as these days a lot of clothing doesn’t really last long enough to be worth repair.
How about I make a povo post in !foodaustralia@aussie.zone then we can all contribute our budget friendly meals. I’ll do it over the weekend.
That sounds good, so it’s not just me pitching stuff
Let people decide their own levels of health and moderation, post the recipes. I support povo lifestyle choices.
Yeah! There are people who may need struggle meals.
A chocolate self-saucing Christmas pudding
Then I make it pretty
A very rich and decadent pudding. A bit like a giant chocolate truffle ball. That’s why cream and 2 custards were deployed. 5/5 yum yums.
OK Google send me this immediately
I had a seizure.

Welcome back, Botter!
😂 I wonder how many of our under 40’s will understand this reference.
37 here. The message is a reference to Welcome Back, Kotter. A show which most people are unaware actually had George Carlin in one episode!
Your dreams are your ticket out …
my home office is slowly being overtaken by small, brightly coloured 3d printed parts awaiting assembly.
But I don’t think anything will ever top the alpaca stocking stuffers. Still weapon of choice for both sets of nieces four years on
I think I’ve managed to work through most of my egg excess. One large tray of quiche is in the oven now, and I am prepping the fruit for a fruit cake tomorrow. Once that’s done I’ll be down to 3 1/2 dozen which I will be able to use up making breakfasts and other ongoing odds and ends. A couple of weeks ago I had 10 dozen!
Ok so what are you using to plump up the fruit🤞 brandy or rum. Brandy or rum. Brandy or rum🤞
Brandy. I’m going to need a new bottle after this - I have enough to brush the finished cake a couple of times and then it will be empty.
Ooooo. Good choice. I thought you might have said oj or apple juice. Both good choices but not as exciting.
I definitely like to use the alcohol as this is a very dark cake that will be aged for a long time.
Don’t overlook how many eggs a custard can smash! It’ll go well with the fruitcake (unless you’ll be aging the fruitcake for Xmas, idk these traditions too well)
In that case maybe custard tarts might be an everyday snack option
<— totally just forgets and lets eggs go bad
I will be aging the cake long past Christmas.🙂
Given the weather is warming up I might think about a custard based ice-cream and some sorbet with the whites. I probably shouldn’t given how quickly I would eat it all, but it is rather tempting.
Sounds delicious. How about pavlova with whites and custard or a lemon curd with the yolks should use some up nicely.
The last time I was looking after this dog met a chill couple with a brand new puppy called Daisy at the dog park.
Met them again and here she is 6 months on:
Such a friendly spot. People remember you and say hello which is great.
Just had fresh raspberries and yoghurt for desert, so yummy. Now I just need to wait for more berries to ripen - I’m only getting a small number every day, but there are new ones ripening constantly.
I picked my first today!
My first raspberry went straight into my mouth.
