Still fucking 36C. It's almost 11pm. There are about 3-4 days per year when Melbourne sucks elephant balls. Bubbly was yummy though.

Gah! That reminds me of the super-hot days we had last summer, highs 35-40C, lows 25-28C. Or something. For some of that time our electricity had been knocked out so the house temperature was 26-29C.

Yeah, thankfully we don't get too many of these kind of days. We get the high temps, but it usually at least drops off a bit at around 8pm or so.

Aha - it's down to the fact that I can't spell in German. Thank you for setting me on the path of righteousness.

another example of dumb computers: they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do

I'm fine, lefty, my 3 minute tea-making break has suddenly stretched out to 15 minutes.
Agree on the metal band and the dumb computer example.
Back to work!

Morning, everyone! Is it too early for an eggnog with rum? 'Cuz that's what I'm jonesing for at the moment.

Post by Liiisa on Jan 4, 2013 16:46:02 GMT 2
Absolutely not, Aussie... I mean eggnog has eggs, and you eat eggs for breakfast. Hust think of it as kind of liquid French Toast.

It's funny. As the days get longer they always get colder. It's why Mrs Faz and I take our summer holidays in winter. Off to Thailand in a couple of weeks.

I don't think you want a cookbook by me unless you're willing to eat miso soup for lunch and tinned smoked trout for dinner 300 days/year... I am picky about ingredients but lazy about cooking.
I think it's down to latency of something or other? i.e., the fact that the earth doesn't catch on that it's supposed to be cold until it's started warming up. (The coldness vs day length issue, that is, not my cooking.) Sure, that sounds good. Thailand sounds even better.

Pssst! It's only 250 days a year. The other days we have chicken. *runs*
The temperature peak/trough is about 3 weeks behind the solstices. And latency is why the peak of hurricane season in the Northern Hemisphere is from August to October even though the maximum sunshine was in June and July.

Maybe you could just name the dishes Liiisa, we'll do the recipes and the whole thing can be called "The Random Chicken"

Post by Scrubb on Jan 4, 2013 21:57:18 GMT 2
It would need to be named "The Random Chicken or Trout or Something".
