Appalling Dinners

My parents are currently renovating the bathroom, so we've had builders in and out of the house for weeks. And one of the builders for some reason turned off the storage freezer (I don't know why we have two... my parents buy too much food). This basically means that tons of food melted and needed to be eaten. My parents have been cooking meat with disgusting gusto...

...and I've been eating frozen leftovers and package vegetables. Tonight I had leftover Thai takeaway tofu, leftover pasta and frozen peas and corn. It was surprisingly edible, but quite appalling.

So yeah, that's why I've not posted.

In other news, PM Rudd apologised to the Stolen Generations of Australia. Well overdue, and a fantastic gesture from an incoming government. If you aren't familiar with Australian history, then you should know that successive governments committed a genocide against Aborigines from the late 1800s to the early 1970s. It's an appalling piece of history and the effects are reverberating in Aboriginal communities today. John Howard, in his 11 years in office, did all he could to avoid that simple word - sorry. But now it has been said, and hopefully we can all move forward, and close the gap between indigenous Australians and the rest of us.
