American living in Australia. GenX mom of two. Happily married 25 years News junkie who had tens of thousands of trolls blocked on Twitter and now can't stand the place. Love 80s music, reading, true crime, cats, crossword puzzles. Hater of so-called AI
The thing I miss most about living in Australia is street tacos. So we cooked some carne asada, rice, and beans, and had a feast!

I imagine once trump is gone and these goons start getting arrested for the assaults and murders they committed as ICE agents they will suddenly remember that being allowed to see your lawyer is actually a very important part of the whole process.

It is supposed to get up to 110 degrees F and our area has a catastrophic bushfire risk tomorrow. I love Australia but bushfires are scary.

I've lived in Australia long enough that I can hear my upper midwestern accent if I hear my voice. Very strongly. I think I'm too old to lose it.

In the new year, I plan to jump on the sourdough train. My kids love sourdough and maybe I can learn how to make it myself instead of paying so much for it.

It doesn't feel like Christmas Eve because it's warm and sunny. This is my third Christmas in Australia. Will I ever get used to it?

I have a bunch of old recipe cards that were my grandmothers - she was married in the mid late 30s, and the newest ones seem to be from the 70s. Some were from the milkman when he made deliveries. This one is from the bottom of an order form, but some are promotional Betty Crocker recipe cards.

Ok so I've joined @pagebound.bsky.social and I've become "royalty" which doesn't cost much and I want the site to stick around and remain just a place where people talk about books and not an advertising forum. So far so good.

The cat got stuck in the pantry last night and destroyed everything. I’m home from work today cleaning the cat and the pantry. The cat is fine, though a bit spooked. Photo of said cat:

Daylight savings time starts tonight in Australia - or, really, early tomorrow morning. It is always an adjustment.

I bought a book, and as I was reading it realized I had already read it. This is why I am now keeping a reading journal. I wish I starting doing it ages ago.
