      I received a Jane Goodall diorama as a Lego Gift-With-Purchase.

      I recently donated it (including the Jane Goodall minifig) to a Primary School Science teacher for her classroom.

      I hope none of the little perishers steal the minifig!

      Tonight’s meal calls for a generous helping of melted cheese, sometimes I construct what I eat around it including cheese.

      I have to be honest here. None. Not really. I’d rather have cheese in it’s unmelted state. And I go through phases where I can’t stand any cheese, and other times I can’t get enough of it. Phases can last from a few days to a few months. Currently going through an anti-cheese phase. This will change, I just don’t know when. And then I’ll consume cheese in any form that presents itself. But I prefer non-melted.

    Ah back at FILs for the next couple of days, and then back to Melbourne Sunday night.

    Niece was very unhappy we were leaving her place, but we’ll see them again before we go home.

    Looking forward to picking Mickey up on Monday morning. Then I have an interview at 10-10:30am, and then my job provider appointment at 11:30am. I’m going to be wrecked, but happy 💜

      I’ve seen a few recipes where they use white chocolate with pink food dye. I hate white chocolate, and also pink is not entirely anatomically correct.

        I used a pink pre-dyed from Spotlight and added all the off chips from the Lego I did last week to blur but not swirl. So it’s a dyed white base with dark added. Hope that make sense!
