Any recommendation as to knives? Leaning to Global Santuko.

Is that what you’re hoping to use the $60 you stole from Aussie on?

Edit : Oh that’s right you have already spent Aussie’s money on grog. My bad 😐

Aussie’s money is waiting for him to ring the PO I sent it to to have it delivered to his address or local PO. He has been paid. Aussie knows the money is waiting for him to collect, just he prefers to play games but I don’t.

Global knives cost rather more than $60, liar, you really have no idea of cooking knives etc do you? Don’t need them to microwave some frozen McCains “meal” do you?

Ah McCains, I farted again.

Cool, my latest a Le Crueset pan, a braiser, is on its way. That did not cost $60 Larry, more like $600.

Also buying a new vertical sausage stuffer. Might use the Kenwood stand mixer’s meat grinding attachment until I see a good item at a good price on Ebay or GumTree.

Will organise some pork butt (shoulder) next week along with pork chops, ribs etc. Start a batch of sausages. Will have my spices by then—snags will be tasty! Also need to buy a smoker, probably just a simple offset smoker—can use as smoker (coals in the smoker compartment) or grill—coals in the main compartment under the grill. charcoal grill, hmmm!

Some lamb for the next big buy there: shanks, chops, cutletes etc.

The pig head for pea soup can wait a while yet.

Got a bit of a shock this afternoon. Went to get my order of burdock powder. Then asked if the attendant sold castor oil. She sold me a small bottle for $16. Went up to the counter expecting a $40 total with the burdock. I was charged $96. $80 for 500 grams of burdock.

Not satisfied with my spending habits, I went to Woolies to get something to treat me. I bought granulated peanuts to go with my vanilla icecream. I got a quick sale of prawns for $13 (700 grams worth). And I got a $50 ($55.95 with the activation) visa card. $77. So, I have eaten through 2 weeks worth of income inside a week. I will have to be frugal for the next month or so.

You can’t budget. And you’ve provided a pretty drastic example of that.

Check your PMs

Cheers

Mind you I would never ever spend $60 on 1 knife. Never! That’s a waste of money IMO.

Make no mistake - we’re living in uncertain times. Now is the time to sensibly budget SMART. The current global recession and rising inflation/interest rates predicament is bringing down major global banks and bankrupting well known branded builders/corporations in Australia. Whatever money you spend under these conditions is overpriced. In short you’re WASTING your money unless you can source bargains. Save your money, pay your weekly bills and save whatever amount you can. I fear some of you will struggle. I really do. That worries me.

Note : Do NOT be fooled by the BS being posted by 80 yr old Drunk who has never been able to stand on his own 2 feet. Monk has NO life experience wrt getting married, having/rearing children, educating children by putting them through school AND Uni, getting a mortgage and paying it off. Absolute no life experience whatsoever except for being a failed tosspot who sponged off his mum his whole life and that included him living rent free in his mum’s home. Just laugh at him and ignore him.

The budgeting comes under control when the drinking stops. $140 worth of alcohol per week adds up to about $7000 per year. So, my budgeting is okay. It is just that I spend an excessive amount on booze, considering my finances.

Larry, Larry, if you actually cooked you would know a few simple, good implements make preparation of a meal MUCH easier with less stress on you and less food waste. Then again, IF you actually cooked you would know the value of cheaper cuts of meat, like blade steak actually become totally delicious with the right amount of cooking—a bit longer than say a porterhouse steak.

You obviously do not cook. You obviously do not buy clothes for 30+yo adults yet you pretend to do all this.

And I am not spending $60 on a knife, I am spending $150. This is the knife you use 90% of the time. You probably don’t need a boning knife but a vege chopping knife is good, speeds up the finely chopping of parsley (parsley is a herb, dear, with a mild flavor and a sh

it

load of Vitamins.)

And I have paid Aussie—he just has to pick up the phone to have it delivered.

I said I was never married right at the start. I was heavily, incl financially, involved in helping raise my older sister’s daughters.

With my then business partner I built two holiday homes in Goolwa then we bought this huge villa, 400sqm of house on a double block in Port Elliot. I named the house Trafalgar House and that name is still used today. Partner insisted we needed to increase the mortgage on Trafalgar so we did that. We had interest only mortgages etc on the Goolwa houses—I arranged two proper mortgages from McLeod tyres!

Ha! I went into the office for the mortgage section—it was Dickensian in looks!

We paid off the mortgages on the Goolwa houses. The mortgage on Trafalgar was more problematic because my business partner became a nutcase. We had to sell Trafalgar and got $100K more than we paid for it but the money went to pay off the mortgage and I had arranged with the Tax Office that they garnishee the settlement money which they did, $13K very nearly paid off the tax we owed thanks to idiot partner. A few years later, with cosmetic-only improvements Trafalgar sold for over $1,000,000! I could be really really bitter about this, I just shrugged my shoulders to save the L’Unica business: spent a lot of Mondays while I paid off the bills mostly caused by idiot business partner at the Small Claims Court. I got a lot of understanding eventually from the magistrates there as they realised every matter was new—I had paid off the previous debtors who sued me.

You once again mention the crap about me living rent free at Mum’s home. That is based on doxxed information that was misinterpreted.

Who gave you that doxxed info? Booby or IQ?

You know NOTHING about me, idiot!
