Capture: Labour Weekend: Town or Country?, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Hey YESSS!
Will send over a loaf of my home-made bread, Oamaru cheezus, & some of Mary's relish next time I'm in Oamaru (before end of this month-) - love to all the SSSs -

Capture: Spring is Like a Perhaps Hand, in reply to Lilith __,
Hmmm.
Not strictly Japanese cuisine...tastes good, but you need the proper flour and sauce and there are other 'pancake' type recipes that are better....my bible is "Japanese
Cooking A simple Art"* by Shizuo Tsuji (& instruction by my friend Mame Tokunawa.)*Very simple. All you need is 3 lifetimes, and all the right - fresh! - ingredients...
I wont comment about the semolina-

Beautiful!
'A Taste of Japan' - aside from drummers & origami dresses - is entirely to my taste: I deeply love a lot of Japanese cuisine- -

Or leetle pollenbaskets!
Sorry about the spider episode Sofie- I love them, but they dont like being confined in any way- -
Capture: Labour Weekend: Town or Country?, in reply to Nora Leggs,
no idea what it was doing down there!
With pukeko, given their proclivities, you *really* dont want to ask! But they are quite good flyers-

Sea squirts!? Who names these things?
Probably kids who grow up on beaches.
If you squash 'em a bit, the 3 things called seasquirts commonly found on/around ANZbeaches, will produce fluid, some quite liquid, some gluey-NB: seasquirts of one kind or another are found in very many coastal environs...

They're edible (not in their entirety tho'!)

Up Front: Staying In, in reply to Andre Alessi,
but it seems as though some people don’t want to understand others at all
-or simply, dont have the empathy/imagination to understand people who are rather different than themselves-
I come from the basic belief - We are all human beings-

Up Front: Staying In, in reply to Emma Hart,
It’s more than what I do, it’s part of who I am. I totally accept that it’s not like that for everyone.
Asd most regulars posters here know, I'm an asexual. We're about 2% of the human population, and we have no obvious distinguishing physical characteristics.
We just dont feel any kind of sexual attractiuon to other human beings, other beings, other things...
Which is most definitely part of who I am, how I am, what I am...
and is rather difficult to explain to well-meaning family & friends.
"Dont worry dear - one of these days you'll meet Mr Right."
"Um, dont you think I know myself rather well by now? I mean, I'll be 66 next birthday?"
Blank incomprehension....
