I discovered this week that 7-11 Japan recently took over the Australian franchise, and as a result we are finally starting too see some of the amazing Japanese “konbini” foods here in Sydney! They are currently selling three different types of onigiri, and I was thrilled to see the special wrapping that keeps the seaweed crisp. ❤️🍙 I bought all three and tried them over two days… https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/26306 and https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/26327


It’s 35C/95F out; all of Sydney is under extreme heat warning; and all I want is a can of pumpkin so I can make pumpkin pie ice cream for Thanksgiving. But alas, none to be found, not even for ready money. So I will be roasting butternut this evening once the sun goes down…

Oh, and I asked the butcher how much it would be for a turkey breast to sous vide, and he told me $97 AUD (that’s $62 USD), and I laughed in his face and then bought a couple chicken breasts instead. I think it was actually a turkey crown roast, but whatever. Chicken it is.


Final call! In 30 minutes I’ll be ranting about AI online at Tech Leader Chats.
