Starting the hot sauce ferment today eee.
This should be wikkid hot (and hopefully don’t get botulism).
It won’t be botulism (I don’t think) lol the fermentation for hot sauce (and other things) is caused by Limosilactobacillus fermentum (also known as Lactobacillus fermentum).
It can cause Endocarditis; a bacterial infection in/on the heart! Enjoy!
Mmm… a hearty sauce
Hrmm well that doesn’t sound too umm… bad…
Buckle up I guess lol.
Don’t use flip top lid bottles. I had a batch over ferment and Boyo coped it to the face. As did the ceiling.
Owch to the face :(
I might ferment these outside knowing my luck.
Laundry day today. Sunday is going to be cold & wet. And next week likewise. Also gotta cut the grass. Work work work.
I should mow the lawn too.
but I ache
Being sat on by cat. Can’t get up. So sad.
oh dear, that’s the weekend gone
she got up and I have spent a significant part of the day restructuring the wardrobe so she has hiding nooks (last house had builtins, this one doesn’t, and the open frame displeases her). She is currently sleeping in one with a seal of approval
Buckarooos buckle up.
looks to be a clean ferment :)
What’s the bluish thing in the jar?
Just the colour of the ziplock bag to weigh it down.

Aww…
Embrace the love.
It happens and it’s wonderful. 🥰
Grass done. Laundry is drying? Humidity is so high it’s hard to tell. Glass of wine o’clock.
Rain incoming. Not particularly heavy, but quite widespread. I reckon will be here within the hour. radar
My garden rejoices and my newly planted seeds are now in with a chance.
Hoping it moves my noisy neighbours indoors so I can get some sleep. Would also be nice if it put out the smokey fire they have going.
Enjoying watching my new telly in bed. May not even get up today.
Busy this weekend? https://www.trenthamspudfest.org.au/
Ah a festival held in my good, starchy name? Excellent!
Blessed be thy starches 🙇♂️
Laundry, market and haircut done
home from shopping, now having a delicious cup of green jasmine tea ( the good stuff, not twinings ) and some toasted home made olive bread
Today in Footscray I saw a street barber, smelled so much weed, heard a god botherer, was the only one who didn’t get their bag checked when leaving a shop ( ahem, racism 😠 ) , bought a set of 1950’s Maltby Australiana playing cards
to combat depression and feelings of being overwhelmed by having too much to do in the garden I will make a very detailed list of tasks,
that way I won’t have much thinking to do and will get loads of positive reinforcement when I tick everything off 👍
after working in garden tomorrow I will make detailed unKaos list for the next week
also , I am on day 3 of no lollies , if I get hungry I will have fruit
I need to do something like this. I’m also susceptible to depression overwhelm when faced with a pile of tasks that are tedious and seem futile because I’ll just have to repeat them again in the near future. The real circle of life is just endless cleaning. I just do it in hate mode, haven’t ever found a way to enjoy it.
I’m just hate grinding this shit like video game dailies. One load a day of dishes/laundry = piles gradually get smaller
I’m usually good .
I have a question for everyone. Apart from the obvious soap, deodorant and toothpaste, what is a beauty product that you use the most, can’t get enough of, can’t live without?
Mine is rosehip oil. I’ve used it on my face for years and now I’m using it after shaving and for eczema. Love the stuff.
I’d say… Beer 🍻 🍺
Fun fact. In the 1800’s water was contaminated because fish fuck in it so from the moment you woke up it was beer o’clock for the whole family.
Small beer - <1% alky. Basically barley kombucha.
it’s still beer o’clock for the whole family in europe where you can buy “family beer”, it’s literally called family beer in the supermarket and comes in big bottles , it’s like 1% , probably healthier than cola
Oh wow. Slap a teat on the bottle and pass it to baby.
No wonder you’re so youthful I swore there was a secret.
My course costs 1 x 6 pack per hour
Generic brand Vitamin E cream with a sunscreen. Use it on face and body. Cheap, good and not at all greasy. I HAAAAATE wearing makeup, but this stuff I don’t feel at all like I’m wearing anything. Also cheap generic lanolin for dry skin on heels & elbows - slathered on at night and cotton socks over the top. I’ve had dry skin all my life and these two items have been gamechangers for me. Not so much as beauty as for comfort.
Lanolin is so nice and velvety. I also have dry skin and during winter I use the heavy duty Nivea creme.
lanolin is so good for skin, it’s the closest thing to our natural skin oils, that’s why it’s so good
Me and Miss Seagoon buy the six packs of lanolin from vic market, we give a lot away to friends and fam overseas and use it ourselves too
A decent lip balm, as otherwise I’m prone to cracked lips. My go to is the standard Palmers Cocoa Butter.
Either unscented moisturiser or face sunscreen/spf moisturiser.
But if I had to pick out of them all the answer is probably spf moisturiser tbh
From like age 18 to when it was reformulated to sting and then discontinued I just kept buying the same spf15 Nivea tube and used it every single day even if using nothing else.
For a while dry shampoo was popular too until scent was an issue and I found out about the benzene thing
Salt ocean water cold swims… no shower.
Free too.
I had to check my bathroom to see. Revlon sheer tinted lip balm lipstick. Have some in my handbag too. Light pink and a very light coral.
Also, hand wipes. I keep a pack in my handbag and use often.
A decent hand cream. I wash and sanitize my hands all day and frequently change food handling gloves and they get so dry! I’m not fussy about the brand, but it has to readily absorb and smell gorgeous because it gives me a brief aromatherapeutic mood boost. At the end of the day before I walk out the door I slather it on my hands and walk out of work rubbing it in. ATM I’ve got Ovidia next to the bed and Freshwater Farm in my work bag. Also paw paw ointment for the lips and occasional cuticle application.
Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
Got a couple of jobs to do today
