A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side next to one of those finned, oil-filled space heaters.

Winter is definitely Beanie's favourite season, he loves the space heater.

A screenshot of a very 1960s-looking little white hatchback that's been lowered, and has big deep dish rims, a front spoiler, and an internal rollcage. It looks simultaneously cute but also mean.

This is a screenshot of the 1968 Abarth 595 Esseesse that I've turned into an UTTERLY INSANE MONSTER in Forza Horizon 4. It's been converted to all-wheel drive with a inline-4 turbocharged rally engine and weighs only 545kg, but puts out 498kW and 926Nm of torque, and has a top speed of 327km/h which it reaches ALARMINGLY quickly. 😂

A photo of cut rounds sitting on a cooling rack. They're basically like scones except mine are flat and haven't risen at all.

A photo of a cut round sliced in half with butter and raspberry jam on it.

There's this British historian and TV presenter Ruth Goodman who's done a whole bunch of docos about life on farms during various periods in history. She did one series called "Edwardian Farm" and during it they made a thing called "cut rounds", basically like a savory scone. I found a recipe and made them, and while mine didn't rise much, they're REALLY yummy! The recipe I followed was this one.

I'm not remotely a person who knows about baking so I don't know why they didn't rise (needs more baking powder maybe?), but they WERE nice and moist inside and not like hockey pucks!

A photo of two stacks of grey foam that are custom-cut to fit all the individual Warhammer Underworlds warbands, plus a very striking black and white carry bag to fit them all into. Also visible is the head of a small scruffy blonde dog giving the foam trays a good smell.

Woohoo, my order from battlefoam.com arrived! Going to be much less nerve-wracking trying to carefully put all my Warhammer Underworlds warbands away without breaking any of the pointy bits now. (Beanie had to have himself a good sniff of all the new smells).

A photo of the inside of a surprisingly empty restaurant.

A photo of moussaka in a ceramic dish with a slice of sourdough next to it.

A photo of galaktoboureko, which is a Greek dessert made of filo pastry and filled with semolina custard.

It was our 12th wedding anniversary today, so we went out to dinner at our favourite Greek restaurant! It was freezingly cold so I got moussaka, and had galaktoboureko for dessert. 👌🏻

Irritatingly I had to get up extremely early this morning to go to Parramatta to tell the jury duty people that it'd be a pain the arse with work to do jury duty. Fortunately they just said "Yeah cool, you're excused" and that was that.

I love that spontaneous dance parties are still in a thing in Destiny 2. (See also this from Destiny 1 almost six years ago now).

A photo of the box of Kainan's Reapers, a warband that's made up of skeleton warriors.

There we go, last warband I'm getting for the current season of Warhammer Underworlds! (I'm not interested in Hedkrakka's Madmob or the Idoneth Deepkin, the miniatures don't grab me).

A screenshot of Aussie Broadband's speed test server showing 741Mbps downstream and 46.9Mbps upstream.

Well, that's not shit, and on HFC no less.

A screenshot of a Slack message saying "Happy International Burger Day! The burger trolley is now on the move at 341, 343 and 363 serving sliders in honour of this delicious day :yummo: Choose from slow cooked BBQ Wagyu Beef Brisket with cheese, dijonnaise, tomato, or 'Tame Burger' plant based patty with plant-based cheese, tomato relish, beetroot. Enjoy!!"

A photo of a tiny little slider sitting in a disposable cardboard container.

That was good timing, I'm in the office today to get laksa with the team and one of our new starters, and this message was posted in our #syd-food-alerts channel. Then about ten minutes later the slider was delivered right to my desk!
