Pancakes stuffed with coconut and jaggery

Always smiling @allknowing (149217) • India 14h

This is one of our traditional snacks that can be eaten any time. I have had them for breakfast sometimes. We make a rice batter for pancakes and stuff them with coconut mixed with jaggery, raisins and cardamom powder. I...

Fleur They sound good. Cardamom is a unique flavour which we don't use enough here.

Lack of Sleep Concerns

LindaOH @LindaOHio (194083) • United States 9h

As most of you know, I have a tremendous problem trying to sleep. I get no more than 4 hours of sleep a day; and it's not unusual for me to be up 24-48 hours at a time. I'm always tired; and I know that lack of sleep can cause...

Fleur I don't have such a problem as you, thankfully, but I do tend to wake up early and I also get a 'second wind' later in the evening - so I often feel very sleepy in the afternoon and resolve to go to bed early - but then about 9pm I revive and think I will do a...

Getting messages to loved ones during the war

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358079) • Rockingham, Australia 8h

Apart from being in the same museum as the information below, the photo has nothing to do with the discussion. John Charles Peters was born in 1890 and taught in Muchea, Western Australia, for 21 years, before taking over the...

Fleur How sad that they got bad news after bringing relief to so many. There is such a lot that I don't know - I had no idea about the radio messages, for example.

Great Nana, the Sublime

Ms.Chelle @Chellezhere (6226) • United States 20h

It is so good to be 27 for the 45th time. My natural hair color? Medium champagne blonde — why? Is that a crime? Old? Oh, Hell no! I haven't even reached my prime. Elderly? Pshaw! That's at least a 20-year climb. Yes, Darling. I'd...

I Wanted to Make Sure I Had Proof

Jim Bauer @porwest (102987) • United States 19h

Not that my wife would not believe me, or even that I would necessarily lie to her, but when it comes to money, particularly in the area of spending, she knows just as well as most of you do here that I can be...

Fleur I think taking photos is the main purpose of my so-called 'phone'. It's so useful to be able to prove something or show someone something.

7/9/25 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (194083) • United States 10 Jul

Measles cases in the US have reached 1,288, the most in more than 30 years. Boy am I stupid. I cancelled my Medical Guardian pendant service before receiving my new Mobile Help equipment. There will be 7-10 days that I will be...

Fleur Measles was almost consigned to history, along with polio - and then the anti-vaxx movement started. Human stupidity has no limits.

Little Town of Raymond, Washington

Loretta @noni1959 (10478) • United States 9 Jul

We are developing property in Raymond, WA, in the outskirts between South Bend and Raymond. It's a small, more poor community if you listen to folk talk, and known for the Weyerhausser Paper Corporation. You can see this watermark...

Fashion and Propriety in the Victorian Age

celticeagle @celticeagle (176789) • Boise, Idaho 9 Jul

Offering his seat to a lady was not only expected behavior but if a gentleman didn't give up his seat to a lady this social slight could be sent to the local paper and he would be called a bounder (rude and boorish) in the...

Fleur Have you ever read the novel 'Cranford'? It is set in the 1840s, so the early Victorian period, in a small town where there are a lot of spinsters and widows living in genteel poverty and trying to keep up appearances. I had it on the shelf for ages (I mean at...

Hot and sweaty, ready for a shower

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (164672) • United States 9 Jul

Fleur Me too! I cycled into town to see the dentist for a checkup. I was fine while I was moving, but once I stopped of course I was absolutely boiling! Home again now and enjoying a rest and a cool drink.

Acting With Decorum in the Victorian Age

celticeagle @celticeagle (176789) • Boise, Idaho 9 Jul

Slouching was a crime. Posture and a straight back in the Victorian Age showed your up bringing and your marriage ability. You could look comfortable or as if you had an opinion. Discipline, moral fortitude, and proper breeding...

Audrey Hepburn

Always smiling @allknowing (149217) • India 8 Jul

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (46089) 8 Jul

Revisiting Daniel Mayer

Four Walls @FourWalls (76513) • United States 8 Jul

Using what's at hand - granite sheepyards

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358079) • Rockingham, Australia 9 Jul

While travelling, we took a ten kms detour out to some old sheep yards. It was a gravel road and quite rough but that’s okay. We were heading for an area of land at Mt Marshall that was taken up by Edward Pergande around 1910....

We visit a big hill - understatement for 'large monolith'

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358079) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Jul

One of the great things about travelling is what you come across that you’re not expecting. While on our travels last week, we realised we were close to what is touted to be the third largest monolith in Australia. It depends a...
