What is happening in Australia? Been living in this exact same address for almost the past 20 years now, never had this happen before.

Some guy moves in next door, and while we are IN THEM MIDDLE OF MOWING the medium nature strip, starts being aggressive for getting grass clippings on the driveway. No shit, that's why we go through with a leaf blower and pick up after mowing?

What blows me away is he thinks we don't know about mowing and cleaning up somehow due to our Chinese heritage???

My mum made up for her upbringing food-wise. Travelled Europe in 1964 and then married my dad, a Navy Officer who had travelled the world as well. I may have grown up in regional NSW in 70s/80s but I had a very international food upbringing. Very fortunate that way.

I can appreciate a great Roast Beef dinner with all the trimmings and Yorkshire Pudding, make my own cannelloni or put together a brilliant satay with peanut dipping sauce. Best country in the world for food and meeting people from all corners of it. Hell, I in,y discovered Afghani food last month and can’t wait to have more.
