@mephisto_696_ Oh no, just a normal Sunday dinner.

@Mr_B_OB was that for some occasion then? seems excessive 😅 but looks delicious

Roast chicken on a bed of peas, peppers, onions and celery with herby baby potatoes & carrot and mash.

@mephisto_696_ That I am.

@Mr_B_OB are you single?

@detroitsux That would be great!

@Mr_B_OB I’m coming to your house to have dinner and see my people’s homeland. 😅

@steveetienne3 Merci.

"That is my answer, and your answer, Buddy."

@shallotandfood Tell Gavin I wished him a Happy Birthday.

Out for a delicious Japanese BBQ meal to celebrate my husband’s birthday🎂

@detroitsux @shagbark_hick "I know some families who aren't doing it properly therefore it's bad". Fucking absurd logic. The data is overwhelmingily clear that homechooling works (the parents who do it tend to be waaaaay more motivated) and kids avoid the urban leftwing zoos known as schools.

@shagbark_hick This argument is so funny to me when 2/3 of Michigan kids aren’t proficient in reading or math and standards have never been lower to begin with. What should happen to trillion dollar taxpayer funded systems that are failing children on a mass scale?

Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all. I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem. While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives. My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition. Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.

Sourdough toast with lime & green tobasco infused crushed avocado, red onion, egg mayonnaise, steamed asparagus and shichimi togarashi spice.

Faux empowerment tuneless music to appeal to fat women addicted to shopping with Klarna.

@Mr_B_OB Is she a local mystic? 🤣

Felt spiritually Autumnal today.

@RealOneRebecca Yeah, people can be horrific (the scammers especially). In my case, the issue concerned books being late and damaged but still, the company was caught lying about my order and I wanted to write a big lovely report about it.

@Mr_B_OB I got FB stalked by a mechanic because of a bad review. This MF told us my son’s car’s engine needed to be replaced. A whole engine! We took it for a second opinion, $450 later it was working perfectly. 👀 so after the HONEST review, the owner of the shop started spamming me. 🙄

If leaving scathing reviews of companies for giving me terrible custom makes me an animal, then that is a title I must own with pride. Rawr.

@IliumTroy Gotta keep the baddies in line.

@Mr_B_OB You get ‘em tiger!

Made up a batch of egg mayonnaise (egg salad) for sandwiches. I like to chop up the boiled eggs with some good quality mayo (like Japanese Kewpie) and mix in some chives (grew myself), white pepper, a tiny splash of apple cider vinegar, a pinch of mustard powder and salt.

@tanylake It's called this in the UK.

@Mr_B_OB People call this “egg mayonnaise” ?? I thought it was just egg salad lol. It’s funny to call it egg mayo bc mayo is eggs already

@steveetienne3 Nice! Diced spring onion is good added to it for something a little different. I've been liking brioche bread recently too -- the slight sweetness adds a little counter to the creamy, savoury, tangness of the egg mayo.

@Mr_B_OB God I adore egg mayonnaise. I always make my own mayonnaise, like mine with chopped chives and some really strong Cheddar.
