@kdfrawg One canned product I go out of my way to find is Amadeus brand camembert or brie. Open the can and a plain ordinary mold-ripened is revealed. Plus, sometimes Aldi stocks giant Greek-style baked beans that contain mostly beans, with just enough sauce to fill the spaces between.

Weather extremes. It hit 42°C here with associated fire weather warnings. Now the cool change has started we have another warning, this time for damaging squally winds up to 90 kph. Now 26°
Eucalyptus regnans (mountain ash) is a native tree, the world’s tallest flowering plant, often reaching 280 feet tall.
Today I bought some ham which had been smoked using wood from the mountain ash species.
It’s very tasty indeed.
@matigo The expected cool change is coming through, temperature is down to 26°C now.
41°C outside. I was wondering why my reverse-cycle A/C wasn’t pushing air as fast as it should. Turns out the filters were half-clogged. A quick hit with the vacuum cleaner fixed that issue.
Damned hot outside but cool inside now.
@teeg Extremely tropical here just now. It’s 39°C and expected to hit 41 or 42 later before a major cool change tonight.
@teeg Welcome to our little offshoot of reality. The oars are in your cabin, there are life vests somewhere and as soon as we finish all the beer, there will be something you can use to bail. The captain tells me we stick to tropical waters: no icebergs will come along.
