There is such a thing as chelation to reduce lead levels in the blood. Check for compatibility with any current medication though, as it may remove that from the bloodstream too.

Bleat.

Hung jury. All 12 jurors have to agree and come to a unanimous verdict for not guilty or for guilty. So I think it likely that there’ll be a hung jury and a re-trial at some later date. Which will be even more of a shit show.

Such a pity the Scottish law verdict of ‘not proven’ is not available here in Victoria. Which basically means We know you done it but there’s no evidence.

I do think the r/deathcapdinner mob (and I chose that word deliberately) need to be reminded of the basic human right of being innocent until proven guilty.

Yass!

Worcestershire sauce would be my go to rather than chilli. Complex, tangy and not heavy on the tongue. But then I am going through a love affair with worcestershire sauce rn so don’t mind me.

Thots & pears. Think of all that lovely overtime - and all the Gibsontreats you can buy with the money …

Probably not equal amounts - ingredients are generally listed in descending order of quantity.

2% spices is quite a lot - might actually have a punch. Haven’t ever tried it though. If looking for a very mild sauce, try the Chicken Tonight range or similar with added spice (by you). That is, fry up protein, add spices to taste or not, then add sauce from bottle and simmer as per instructions. If doing something like this, I use garam masala rather than chilli and that works very well. Plenty of taste but you still have tastebuds after eating it.

There will not be time to celebrate. Just sayin.

Have been saving a very upmarket choc bunny from Easter to eat tonight when all the shenanigans of EOFY are over (FINALLY!!!). May indulge in a few champers too.

Then all the stuff that our clients have been saving up ‘for the new FY’ will hit on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Pray for me.

Safe travels! Weather not looking good here for next few days so jelly you’re going to NZ!

You are the sunshine in our lives.

Happy Birfday!

As it should do! Our food truck is the BEST!!!

Bowl of seafood pho please, and some extra energy.

Remember to jump over the bonfire with your partner holding hands. Preferably before too many mulled wines have been consumed. Alternatively, drive your cattle and other livestock between two bonfires to protect them from disease etc.

Bearing in mind that a bonfire is newly kindled, that is, you can’t just borrow some fire from your neighbours to start it, you have to make it from scratch.

The one down at Monash? Oooh jelly! It’s quite fascinating. Basically a big tunnel circle underground, with machines that can squirt atoms/molecules etc. at very high speeds at items in each target zone. Like a very big roundabout with high speed atom cannons instead of roads leading off it. This helps people find out what the items in the target zone are made of and their internal structure. Super useful for mining, engineering, medical stuff and a host of other stuff.

The kit is fine. The problem here is actually turning the kit into food. Hot liquids, stove elements etc. suck a big one when vision/balance/grip strength is impaired. Remembering my mother when she started her final decline - all the elbows of her cardies were burned through where she’d brushed them too close to the stove element … it amazed us all that she didn’t get seriously burned but that was the point where she had to go into residential care to keep her away from the stove.

Local council might have assistance available - especially if it’s only for meals. If money’s no object, then hiring someone to come in and cook every couple of days might be a useful way to deal with this.

Well done! Celebration this weekend???

Friday 13th its bad luck to walk under a ladder, bad luck to see a black cat - so I think walking under a black cat would sorta kinda cancel out …
