    @hannahcancode It was pre-cooked and sealed in a bag – probably sous vide? He just had to heat it up and then fry it off in some butter.


    @OxieDev Sadly no – this was from a local fancy restaurant. They’re still shut due to lockdown, but they do takeaway where they give you all the components to assemble yourself.


    @bemaia It’s just a fancy little scoop. 😂 You need to watch more cooking shows!

    Final call for the #awspretoriameetup! Just about to kick off…. https://t.co/q0n4DI7kAS @Vel12171 @alpana99 @barasa83 https://t.co/ybTgG0ZkCo


    @_Gxli I think if I ever write a book, it’s going to have to be called The Good Stuff File. 😂 Glad it resonated with you! ❤️


    @rts_rob PLEASE do this. (Incidentally, we’ve just started watching “Masters of Sex,” and the main character’s house is a mid-century modern dream. You should base it off that one!)


    @minxdragon That cotton? That’s definitely NFT (Not For Tatting).


    Monday is my birthday, so the Snook is assembling a four-course Michelin star dinner from Munich’s Mural Restaurant. ❤️ First course: spinach ravioli with cauliflower puree and tarragon oil, paired with 2019 Scheuermann Grauburgunder. Also sourdough bread with beetroot butter. https://t.co/jdRO9W5Bco


    Second course: steak (cooked in butter, garlic, herbs) served with parsnip puree and braised onion, along with a 2017 Blaufränkisch Kirchholz. 🍷❤️ https://t.co/qmu8UFGMEW


    Dessert: buckwheat cake with white chocolate ganache and citrus compote, paired with a 2019 Riesling Röttgen Kabinett. (Me: “You’re not going to quinelle the creme?” That’s when he made that face.) 😂❤️ https://t.co/JwDm4bmDa8


    @darkosubotica It’s the reel. Seemed too good to throw away, so I washed it. We’ll wind something on it. 😂


    @mmastertheone Thanks! Not quite yet, but almost. ☺️


    @apocraphilia This was from a fancy restaurant. Well cooked, but definitely not as tasty as Aussie beef.

    @darkosubotica Remember to go slow! You gotta work up to standing all day. Just do a little more every day.


    @jennapederson That is a REALLY good idea! ✅


    I’ve been practicing my talk for the #awspretoriameetup tomorrow! I’m going to share tips for dealing with burnout, fighting imposter syndrome, and landing your dream job. I’m really honoured to get to share the virtual stage with these amazing women. 💜 https://t.co/itKDtrB4SM

    @jeffblankenburg If they’re a woman (and I literally just had a woman ask me this earlier today), I’d point them to @nodegirls. Great, free events where they can get started and explore coding in a fun environment!
