Good morning

Sick of hearing from us every day? Click here to get the Sunday only send.

G’day, members! Hello, and happy Monday! I (Jarred) hope you’re all well-rested and excited to see what today brings! On my end, just this morning, my sister shared a recipe for noodles using a mixture of peanut butter and chilli. I was quite taken aback and then very intrigued with the dish, mostly because it uses something I prefer slathered on bread… But I’m certainly very keen on trying it, and if you are, maybe you can head down to the stories below and find the recipe. That said, before I go bore you lot again with my drivel, let’s move on to today’s riddle, which is as follows:

‘Annoying’ is what this is… Post your answers here on the forum if you think you’ve figured the riddle out! If you get the answer correct, you can expect a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter. 😉
