I risk coming across as "caveman-like" as Swipey does when he refers to all mens fragrance as cologne, but French cuisine in general doesn't excite me.

The best I've had is Robechon's in Paris but for €700 (yes, Euro) to feed a family of 4 in 2013, you'd rightfully expect something half-decent. The family could have enjoyed 40 of the finest wood-fired Capricciosas for that amount of moolah.

I must disagree with you here j. Gratin dauphinoise, duck a l'orange, good steak with pepper sauce, and cassoulet are all brilliant! That's not even getting to dessert, cheese and smallgoods like pate.

Rinse your mouth out xx

And since we're on to all things geek... I needed to use a few simple pivot tables in Excel and had to google the sh*t. I no longer have IT. :(

Hey, today I designed a new screening form in Microsoft forms and applied conditional formatting to the Excel Spreadsheet that collates the responses to highlight the wrong answers in red. Pretty happy with myself, didn't need Google.

If you ever have a question, forget Google. Go straight to Mrexcel.com. There are nerds just waiting online to answer your questions.

Is that duck related to Kirk Lorange, guitarist in Richard Clapton's band?
 
went to State of Origin last night

from sport we learn many things

my big takeaway is that a silky blue wig can look very attractive on olive-skinned women

less importantly, State of Origin provides an emotional peak for players and supporters of teams that rarely play in finals

I doubt we will re-establish AFL Origin to its earlier passionate times, but it did produce some great highlights

one highlight for me was watching Lockett, Dunstall, and Dermie (f*ck spellcheck 5 goes at inserting his surname) dominating in same game (Ablett injured)

also Ablett kicking 8 after handful of Geelong games but Teddy selected him

it was an innocent time, when Stephen Kernahan could be admired as a footballer and mullet before he joined The Filth

SoO does have its downside. Not a massive NRL fan, but Melbourne Storm have lost Coates for weeks now. I didn't know who he was before last night. I didn't know he was a Melbourne Storm player until after that injury. But I am still outraged at the injustice of it all.

Rugby league players better shrug off injuries

Eg standard hamstring injury

NRL
minor grimace keep sprinting for tryline

AFL
3 weeks out

Collingwood
Amputation

And I reckon they would cause far more damage in a restaurant punch-up (which would actually happen in the Bistro of a Leagues Club).

Yep, the NRL boys can really go

UFC compared to AFL Mens Health models

Saw Sam Burgess intervene one morning when a drunken, aggressive passenger wouldn’t pay his cabbie (little Indian guy)

Guy paid up very quickly

Most of the massive units, many Islander lads, are very gentle off-field, fearing their Mums and the Lord, and doing heaps of community work

Starting to lose faith in Framed. Too much animations.

That one was a big budget mainstream one at least.

My main gripe with Framed is that you’ve generally either seen it or you haven’t. Aside from the first frame being really obscure and then getting less so, the “clues” don’t help much.
 
Had some tradespeople here yesterday, attaching solar panels for a sun that may never shine again.

I could see them admiring the vegie beds, but not all 8 of them. Their eyes were drawn to the first two, the ones nearest their labours, the ones with lettuce.

It wasn't easy, but I kept watch my of the night. No lettuce was disturbed. Maybe a slug or two, but my partner likes to go out there with a torch in the evening and pick those off, cruelly flicking them onto the gravel and squashing them. She's kinda hot.

We might have more worries ahead, all of us. The cost to supply chains will only increase, now coming for our greenery, but what will be next? Tomato? Capsicum?

Armageddon awaits. Keep one arm holding onto loved ones, the other clinging to a shotgun.

Just say no to vegetables.

I'm not manly enough for that option. Not sure I ever was, certainly not now.

If you can save the thread from falling into the 2nd page, you can say no to lettuce.

You've got this.

The idea of a garden bed appeals. I'm going to plant tomatoes this year because nothing tastes like homegrown. Lettuce, I DGAF about.

Hugs X

Let's face it - all the best vegetables are really fruit.

After your ludicrous anti-French comment yesterday, you have a food credibility problem. You need to spend some time in the corner with your shine box.

ive planted carrots. the thought of being unable to provide for my equine lord and master on demand is too terrible to contemplate.

an earler attemp at a garden was foiled when i found how much kangaroos love eating fresh seedling shoots. i now have marsupial proofed my beds.
