birthday week but doesn’t feel like birthday week… im getting old! i was at my cousins birthday earlier this week and she asked what im doing for mine, and i just sheepishly said probably something lowkey (read: just chill by myself at home cuz dont have people that would actually care). i mean, she would, but felt kinda pathetic asking so didn’t bother

Made myself some late night scrambled eggs. I’m rewatching the Sopranos for the god-knows-how-manyth time and it reminded me to try sour cream in scrambled eggs.

Not bad. I’ll try with a bit more in there next time though.

chicken salt update: Woolies moorabbin on the way to trivia only had masterfoods chicken salt blend.

This is not chicken salt. It does however, resemble a very nice creole seasoning I have from USA foods, heavy on the salt and onion notes. Quite nice as a seasoning, I do recommend to try, but do not be under any misapprehensions that this is chicken salt.

I quite like this one as an all purpose salt. I just make my own chicken salt now.

I got my recipe from watching the dude who created it make it live on tv. He made it in huge quantities so I had to work out a ratio. It’s not perfect but friends and family seem to like it.

1 tbsp of table salt
2 tsp of paprika
2 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of celery
1 tsp of chicken stock powder

Note: I don’t use rice flour or msg because I don’t have any. Also, sometimes I add a bit more of an ingredient if I feel like it.

Ferry’s are such an acceptable way to travel when done right. We don’t really have the right geography for it in melbs, but they’re so awesome

Also I noticed the sheer amount of people they have up here in the public transport sector here. They still have conductors (“guards”) on the trains + a station staff member who whistles and raises a white flag signalling the conductor to signal the driver to go. It does seem like potentially a bit of overkill, and also the whistles are so damn loud I have a headache, but I still think that’s a better option than the one we went with (privatising everything which of course results in literally everyone being sacked except the absolute bare minimum they need to run things)

The simple fact is public transport in Sydney is “nicer” than Melbourne. And I might add they have electrified lines running to regional areas like Wollongong, Newcastle, and Lithgow/blue mountains.

I don’t know if we have deep enough channels here or suitable places to dock but I see no reason why there couldn’t be more ferries leaving from Melb cbd to all across the bay. NYC has ferries and they work very well.
