  • Should You Really Only Cook With Wine You’d Drink?

    Most people say to cook with a wine you’d be willing to drink, but is that always true? We tested all kinds of wine, from cheap to expensive, light to big—and even flawed—to find out what matters and when.

    Delivering homemade pies to Surry Hills in my bike basket. Possibly just achieved Peak Hip… https://t.co/aVrC3KdB9M https://t.co/c9eCO8V9rA

    @Slingshotters I’m not a startup. I just baked some pies for my colleagues at work.

    @rosepowell Hardest part about working here!

    Happy Thanksgiving! From the Yanks at @canva. (Awesome lunch, @canvavibe!) https://t.co/R4XwjEcWek https://t.co/IZIAITIxZH

    @darthted Yeah, but Thanksgiving for 40+ ppl requires two chefs, and today was the only day both of them were here. They made 2 turkeys!!

    Just challenged @the_snook to an arm-wrestling match to determine who gets to use the new toilet first. #marriedlife

    @parisba @TheRealBnut I made the pies! Had to make a special trip to David Jones and pay $13 for a can of Libby’s Pumpkin. 🙂

    @TheRealBnut @toolmantim I’m confused. What does this have to do with knitting? 🙂

    It’s not often you see a non-Rav knitter flounce.

    Sewists – where’s the best place in Sydney to get my hands on a LOT of fringe trim for a decent price?

    @slace Bah. I don’t have much faith that Etsy sellers are actually makers. I’ll rely on my Twitter friends that actually sew!

    That’s so cool! https://t.co/WAd6N5iCqa

    @mobywhale @toolmantim @OphelieLechat @louiscntr @MelissaKaulfuss Maybe a Ravelry group? Only similar one is https://t.co/2Lpi76XG2W

    @webdirections Hey, any chance you guys know of a cheap co-working space in Surry Hills? Or have space to host @emmainsydney on Friday?

    @toolmantim Amazeballs! Love it.

    @gilmae You mocked my canned pumpkin! Don’t pretend that sub-tweet didn’t happen. o_O

    @gilmae I did consider that.

    @gilmae I actually got enough pumpkin for FOUR pies. 🙂

    @gilmae You gotta cook the shit out of it to get rid of the water. It’s a pain. Come to the dark (lazy American) side!

    Finally some progress on the renovation!

  • Bathroom Tiling

    It’s been a while since I shared a bathroom renovation update! Happily, progress has been made. The plumbing and electrical rough-ins were completed, and then two guys spent a day re-rendering all the walls. The floor was then levelled and waterproofed. A small “nib wall” was built to create room for the toilet connection. AND THEN the glorious tile got applied, and suddenly it was a room again!

    Not much further to go…

    RT @eraserqueen: Went to #campjs to build a nodejs app, learned how to knit instead. Thanks @web_goddess !

    @gilmae It is when I participate.

    @themaninblue Sadly, they belong to @DeveloperSteve. 🙁

    @justintnt Thanks! I’ve heard of it but never been. Definitely one for my bucket list.

    @redbubble_tech Yeah, I had a lot of fun meeting your team and sharing some fine cask wine with them. 🙂

    @codepo8 @themaninblue Dammit. I found @DeveloperSteve at the airport and he said he’d have given them to me if I’d asked. DOH!

    @DeveloperSteve @codepo8 @themaninblue Oh hell yeah! 🙂 Thanks!

    Time to say goodbye to #campjs and head back to reality! (@ Gold Coast Airport (OOL) – @gcairport in Bilinga, QLD) https://t.co/1zRcyLkZTb

    @Benathon @DamonOehlman Thanks! I’ll blog the details sometime this week if I get a chance.

    @krystlescott12 Thank you!! Glad you liked it. 🙂

    @Benathon Very cool – congratulations!!

    @lgarvey @MelissaKaulfuss @fbz did the KnitYak Kickstarter I mentioned! I’m guessing this is machine knitted. But still, it’s doable!

    @Benathon Nah. It was primarily a coding weekend, and the coding part of it was minimal. I was just happy so many devs wanted to knit!

    Anybody in Sydney spotted Libby’s pumpkin pie mix this year? I need to bake some pies…

    @randomknits Yep, canned. But I won’t get there by Wednesday. 🙁

    @randomknits @gilmae Thanks! DJ’s has had it before; I might try them. If all else fails, I might see if you can get me some for Friday.

    @gilmae Some of us have commitments! Christmas parties and renovations and such! (Ugh, hipsters.)

    @mobywhale @OphelieLechat @louiscntr @toolmantim @MelissaKaulfuss Super cool!

    @toolmantim @mobywhale @OphelieLechat @louiscntr @MelissaKaulfuss I’ll blog my CampJS beanie pattern this week and share.

    .@thomasduxgrocer Any chance you have Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix in stock this week? I know you’ve had it before!

    @Benathon I couldn’t see your first link. What was it?

    @fbz @MelissaKaulfuss @lgarvey Ah, it was the cables + AT-ATs 🙂

    @mpesce @servantofchaos Also, football and parades at Thanksgiving put everyone on edge.
