Tristan's New Escapade

Hello and welcome again. It's been a year since I have moved back to my parents' house but I wasn't wanting to throw away my life I have built up myself. There have had been serious hurdles particularly with work but for those who just got into this post, let me recap what has gone on. Throughout the start of this year, I was let's say underemployed. Rostered on very little days, sometimes none. That landed me in a serious rut to the point that if I had to leave Repco where I'm currently employed, my life would might as well be over. I tried to go with recruitment services. I hoped to go with Centrelink to get myself into an employment agency but because I'm partly on a Disability Support Pension, they'll only allow me to be put into a disability employment service and only get me to work a maximum of 8 hours a week.

Hello everyone and won't you believe it's been 3 years since I've initiated this whole blog of mine! Earlier, I had the intention to utilise this blog for when I'll hope to do my project car for my bucket list but I hadn't gone that far yet.

That was completed in March 2023 but there's more. This is my second painting titled Black Sheep Banned. That provided the next step of...

Hello everyone. Anyone fancy a treat? How about some home baked cookies? In any time of life with work, school, study, family life or anything else that can leave us tired, it'll be a pleasure to sit back and with an oven to use to bake the likes of cookies, cakes and slices and so fourth. This'll provide good get togethers in many ways. Although I'm not much of a baker except for making meals, I came up with a grand opportunity to make my own one-of-a-kind cookies, which by the way will be blue. It was towards the end of June after the Aspergers Victoria Young Adults Zoom meeting as we've been discussing about what foods we want to eat and/or provide for future in-person meetings. Apart from some idea of having dinosaur shaped nuggets, I brought up the idea of providing blue cookies and there has been some keen interest. And so it begins. My first overall hurdle is the fact I have never made cookies before, but here's a recipe to reference. And here are the recipes...
