Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

I like to dip my Superwine biscuits in my coffee, but I get very upset when a piece breaks off and I have to scoop it out (usually with my fingers) before it gets too soggy and sinks to the bottom.

Then, what upsets me even further is when this happens to each one in the packet.

Ugh!

Haha sometimes I like to throw a few biscuits in then drink the sludge when I get to the bottom. Normally not coffee though, just to make an instant hot chocolate more exciting.

I think I probably commit food crimes every day.

I've been addicted lately to having a milky black tea after lunch and dipping some Krispie biscuits in it. They get soft pretty quick so it only takes a couple of seconds for a dip. I'm pretty adept at it now without losing any bits.

Yeah it's a toss up whether it's worth it. Basically unless it's a gingernut I'm no longer willing to take the risk.

Not like you can get a real gingernut anymore anyway 🙁

[–] liv 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

My partner made some that were pretty good, was probably from an Edmonds cook book.

Well there's a simple way to test if they were real gingernuts, how many teeth did you lose?

[–] liv 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

None, because hot chocolate.!

[–] Dave 2 points 9 months ago

I see you know how to eat a gingernut!
