She didn’t say, although now I’m beginning to wonder. Speaking of not having cavities, the first time I went to the dentist in NYC the actual dentist ...

I’ve noticed that some British people pronounce vineyard as “Vine Yard” as opposed to the obvious “VINyrd”. I’m now wondering if those same brits pron...

I went to the dentist for the first time in about 7 years a few weeks ago. Contrary to stereotypes, the hygienist was the gentlest old Russian woman. ...

Some of my favorite wine in the world, particularly from the Wachau. Lunch: super salad of kale, cherry tomatoes, orange bell pepper, shallot, feta ch...

But yes, I did that physically, sensually, and I loved the experience, but I found nothing. But I trust I missed it.

By dig around I just meant search for his quote from nearby in the text.

Surrounding page 48 for me is Chapter III: The Position of the West on the Question of Religion.

No worries, was being a bit cheeky but also serious; I can of course dig around myself, and better yet get context. don't sweat it.

Do you have the quote? I pulled up page 48 in my copy, but strangely it wasn't there. :chin:

Any cheese or condiments on the sando?

Quantity over quality, as they always say. :pray:

Excellent.

Now I know.

All I know about strange animals in NYC recently is the alligator found in the lake in Prospect Park.

Same. I always tell myself I'll get back into it, but living in a big city doesn't help. Perhaps in old age. I had budgerigars growing up, but now I c...

I was actually a bit of a birder in my youth. Proof: Some rare American species I've seen include the Osprey, Bald Eagle, and various migrating warble...

Are we doing birds again?

Indeed. Evidence of their lasting influence can be found in bands like The 1975. There's some Michael Jackson in here too. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Corny maybe, but I un-ironically love it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNgSwtRqLmg

That would reveal my identity.

I do love Doritos.

Not sure about the legs. I didn’t know about the tails being edible haha. It seems like as long as it’s deveined the whole thing is edible. I’ve still...

It’s on my priority list now. Love them. No need to peel, just eat the whole thing. Eating the shell is very common in Asian countries I believe; one ...

Alright, the verdict is in. Senegalese food is very tasty. I ordered Teibou Jeun because the menu said it was their National dish. It consisted of bak...

Expect a Senegalese Joloff Rice review in the next few hours.

:groan: I’ll leave the spiritual enlightenment to @"Wayfarer".

I'll be back to square one, which is where I always am, so it doesn't matter.

I will never understand engineer humor. I just need to know which somethingest poster here I am.

Who are the members of this secret committee?

Hopefully you'll be able to stop after tomorrow, rather than continue for the next (hopefully?) ~50 years. (?)

I am white, yes.

I somehow get the sense I would be happy to shop there. Contrary to what you might think, grocery stores are notoriously inconsistent in NYC. Often, y...

Damn it. Didn't happen. I actually was planning to last Wednesday, but a complication at work meant I couldn't really leave for lunch, so I got delive...

Ok, I'll bite. What is Mercadona?

I see what you did there.

I will do my best, but the supplies are running out. I appreciate your faith in me. I had it again this morning and I grew more in love. No.

That's what my mom said when I asked her what the tofu stir fry was.

What is Uzbek cuisine? As to Uyghur cuisine, I'm sad to report I still haven't tried it, despite being a 45 minute subway ride away. A Chinese-America...

:chin: given their location, maybe the food is a combination of everything around them. Nothing bad, nothing notable, just a lukewarm combo? I have no...

I guess it makes sense because Spain colonized South America, but ironically South American cuisine is a fusion of indigenous food and Spanish food. S...

It's a big place. Could it be political? I know Uyghur cuisine has only recently hit NYC, and the narrative is rightfully about the persecution of the...

I think this is also a mantra in America, at least in middle America. Outside of cities, most of the food is kind of the same, but folks still insist ...

I'm considering it. I'd be in that rarified air of members with usernames with spaces in them, making them hard to tag. It would be an honor. Edit: Oh...

:gasp: I suppose it hasn't made it's way to Europe, let alone Russia. It's great. They put pineapple on it which I don't need, but it's nice. Not to b...

What a bummer. I haven't had doner; there's not much of it here, but I know there's a few spots. I associate that more with Germany; I was under the i...

Is your short story author nom de plume B.S.F. Ugly?

Good to know. I have some and will try it out next time. I assume a very small amount?

Hmmm, is that usually used in legit shawarma? The recipe I use has cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, cloves, and turmeric.

I see I'm late to the respect trophy.
