Well I’m sad. I overcooked dinner by accident.

Still edible but was pretty dry and chewy.

I did that with one of my shitty home made burritos. Here's to Cajun food!πŸ₯‚(That's what we used to jokingly call it when a chef accidentally burnt something. Sometimes you can smother in creole/Cajun seasonings and burn it a bit more πŸ˜‰)

I did have quite a bit of seasoning on though me thinks it was burnt.

It was pretty close to chicken ala charcoal.

At least it was still ok to eat. Just a bit chewier and less juicy than normal.

Charcoal is good for the digestion. Also absorbs poisons. You may have done yourself a serious favour.

this under 16 age ban thing is interesting. As a kid or teen I would have been FURIOUS. As an adult... I totally get it!

As a father of teens, I get why it's being implemented. Waaay too many kids have unfiltered and unrestricted access to shit that's just plain wrong.

It's also 100% on the parents to know what their kids are up to.

If you want to hate musicians, go to any music technology site and read the comments.

Yuck.

Stationary vs stationery is one thing my brain just refuses to hold onto. Can’t type management or ophthalmology without finger glitching either.

New glasses have been obtained and are being worn. Everything is weird. The difference between my prescription and the "real world" is now so big I can't use these reading specs at all to look around the room

and lots of those aldi meal replacement sachets have been bought. I will have to take lacteeze but I do not care. Husband says he will eat them too , which is a huge relief.

Ok on some wise advice I have kept only the 4 plants I already potted up, and put the rest of the little Audrey II’s at a visible spot where people often leave hard rubbish.

Feels like abandoning them :( Maybe I should swing by occasionally over the next days with a water bottle and see if they’ve all been taken. I hope they don’t just get trashed
