In relation to the AFL’s stance on violence against women, Caro and Corrie referenced the following comments and articles:
Sian Pryor on X: The AFL announcer last night asked for a minute’s silence for ‘the women who’ve lost their lives’. Once again the men are missing. The women are the actors in this phrase. As if a life is like a lost set of car keys. How about ‘for the women murdered by men’?
Language. Matters.
Waleed Aly in The Age: Holding all men responsible for a violent minority has failed to keep women safe
Julia Baird in The Age: The AFL’s ‘call to arms’ is a step forward. Shame about the steps backwards

FOOD: Caro has a recipe: The world’s easiest quiche
TOMATO & SPINACH
QUICHE
Serves 6
4 Roma tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste Extra virgin olive oil, to taste 1 small onion, finely diced 200g spinach 300ml cream
3 egg yolks
1 egg
SHORTCRUST PASTRY
210g plain flour
Pinch of salt
125g unsalted butter, cubed
25ml cold water
1 egg
To make the pastry, sieve flour and salt into a bowl. Rub butter into flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and add the water and lightly beaten egg. Carefully bring in flour mixture until dough comes together. Knead lightly.
Shape dough into 2 discs and wrap in plastic film. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Roll the pastry out to about 3mm thick and line a fluted quiche tin with a little overhang at the top.
(Any leftover pastry can be frozen for another use.) Refrigerate tart case.
Preheat oven to 200°C. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthways and place on a lined baking sheet, sprinkling the cut side with salt and pepper and a little oil. Place in the oven and bake at the same time that you are blind-baking the tart case - for about 20 minutes until the tomatoes are roasted and the pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven, set aside.
Reduce oven to 160°C. Sweat the onion in a frying pan in a little oil until soft. Add the spinach and cook for another couple of minutes. Cool.
Arrange spinach mixture on the pastry. Place tomatoes on top.
Mix the cream and eggs, then season with salt and black pepper.
Pour into the pastry-lined tin and put in oven. Cook for 40 minutes. The filling will puff up and turn golden-brown. Rest quiche rest for a minute, then serve. NOTE: This quiche can be served at room temperature, too.
