Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Managed to go to Pak n Save today. It was quite exciting because all the green veges were cheaper than they used to be so we got broccoli and cauliflower and leek. It's like the good old days!

Only one monarch caterpillar in the garden that I know of. But I did see a heap of Gypsy Moth caterpillars who were super cute, they sort of have a top knot effect and can walk really fast. I wish we could grow veges but unfortunately it's not an option. Still, there's tangelos and mandarins so am happy.

It's prime time for broccoli, cauli, winter veggies. One of my kids cites broccoli as their favourite food, which means all the broccoli jokes in kids movies aren't appreciated. But we eat more than our fair share of broccoli and cauliflower, and by extension cheese sauce.

Just had a broccoli and cauli bake the other day, sooo good!

I'm with your kid on this one, broccoli is the best. As a kid I never understood why some kids don't like vegges!

We've been digging in to the cauli recently. Had a sticky ginger cauliflower dish yesterday and will be having a cauliflower parmigiana coming up some time this week. Yum yum!
