Good food is wasted on kids honestly, they always want the most basic tasting food. My favourite way for broccoli is to toss it in oil, salt, garlic powder and pepper then roast in a really hot oven or bbq so it gets a bit charred all over. Gets a really nice nutty flavour to it.
Currently the youngest just wants whatever we’re eating. Sometimes she doesn’t even know what it is and immediately wants it when she sees us eating it 😂
Do you actually care about the branding? If you don’t just get the highly rated stuff on Temu/Aliexpress, it’s likely made in the same factories.
Are you sure they actually just like cheese sauce, which happens to come with broccoli?
My eldest used to like broccoli, but now doesn’t. We don’t eat it with cheese sauce though!
I was watching the chat too, but got too lost with all the different things going on. It seemed liked they didn’t decide to extend the pink and blue to the left until pretty late? I remember doing a little to help finish the right side earlier on today.
Everything still looks pretty great and the whole thing is really well filled out.
I did as much as I could, but I was lacking imagination after ours was done. Mainly spent time filling in random backgrounds.
Poor wehavecookies.social kept getting changed
Always blows my mind that there are still large species we know so little about. Crazy to think that no one has ever seen a live spade toothed whale and we only know about them from their washed up bodies.
Thanks Dave, interesting stats!
As much as I’d love a diynz and Hamilton community here, I don’t think we have enough regular posters sadly. Sorry to say I’m also guilty of not contributing much lately
Yeah that’s ok by me. The sliced kiwi placement doesn’t look entirely right, but I can’t see where else to put it. Keen to hear what others think
I like the fantail, although I feel doing the same flag is kind of boring. Could we recreate something like this: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/new-zealand-flag-map-pixel-art-1092031517
Not to sound ungrateful or anything!
Oh this is a good idea! Guessing the mayo can work as a replacement for the oil or butter in baking recipes
Haha could be a good prank though!
I was thinking it could be used for cooking since it’s mainly oil, but I’m thinking the amount of sugar might not work well. I’ve seen people use it on the outside of grilled cheese sandwiches to crisp it up. Otherwise into the compost it goes!
Highly recommend no one buys Woolworths Essential’s brand Mayonnaise. Absolutely disgusting, looked like glue and also super sweet. I realised after the fact it’s vegan, so no eggs… Mayo with no eggs! Even my Mayo/Aioli loving kid thought it was gross.
Not sure what to do with the jar of it now, feels wasteful to throw it away though 🤮
I’ll follow whatever plan you guys come up with! I don’t know if I’ll be able to spend as much time on it as last time though
It’s so long ago I honestly can’t remember the taste. I just remember being shown to peel and eat the new shoots
This has unlocked a memory for me of being taught how to eat supplejack at a school camp when I was in primary/intermediate!
Guess I’ll need to come up with my superhero name now!
So my DIY soldering job over the weekend seems to have worked and I successfully fixed my fan! Getting some thinner solder made it much easier.
Now to find more things to solder 😃
1 year really goes by fast, thanks Dave for keeping it going!
I also enjoyed the effort we put in on the pixel canvas thing, I think we punched above our weight for the size of our userbase
I’m not sure locally you can find counterfeit clothes easily, and they may be of variable quality if you do manage to find someone doing it without being shut down.
I do remember from my sneaker obsessed days that there were sellers on Taobao that sold “replica” sneakers. Not sure about cheaper end Adidas but I remember on reddit there was a sub for discussing “replica” clothes and shoes, r/fashionreps or something? You might be able to find an international source there.
Many years ago I went to Hong Kong and Shenzhen and picked up a number of “replica” luxury watches for myself. They had them by grades and you could choose to spend more for higher grade replicas. I think I was paying $100-$150 for replicas of $10000+ watches which most people wouldn’t be able to tell they were fakes. I still remember they would bring out catalogues from watch manufacturers and tell you what they have available and what grade they were. The whole replica industry is pretty interesting.
