Today i had shukto

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (22285) 7h

For bengalies shukto is a lovely dish cooked with drumstick bittergourd and raw bananas. They are a bit bitter, but there is a lot of food value for the same. Bengalies eat the dish with rice.

When one thing leads to another, and another...and makes you remember people no longer with us.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54259) 7h

I won't get into it, but today was so stressful. It really did feel like the weight of the world was on my shoulders. I never have a meltdown, ever...but I went to the bedroom and had my own little private meltdown. It's all...

Lenore Plassman Lovely heart post. I knew my Mom was losing it when I found little things a bit dusty. Wow women pushed themselves in those days. I'm probably a rebel cause no way do I try to keep up to those standards of cleaning house. I'm glad you have those memories...

A four-hour swim to get help for his family

Judy Evans @JudyEv (370620) • Rockingham, Australia 12h

George (@deepizzaguy) entertains us all with his good news stories so I’m ‘borrowing’ his theme to tell you one of my own. A mother and three children aged 13, 12 and 8 got swept out to sea on a kayak and inflatable...

Do you have any invasive species in your area?

Amber @AmbiePam (111803) • United States 12h

So @MarieCoyle was mentioning the non native species in Florida (pythons and iguanas) that are harming the environment. It made me think of the non native species we have in Oklahoma wreaking havoc. The major one is feral hogs....

Have you ever had mole sauce?

snowy @snowy22315 (202292) • United States 1 Feb

You will be saying Ole! If you have this sauce on chicken. Many years ago, I had mole chicken in a restaurant in Northern Virginia. It was a truly memorable meal and one of the best I have ever had. I know they sell it at the...

Turns out I got my mother a really useful gift for her birthday

snowy @snowy22315 (202292) • United States 1 Feb

I got her some balm for her hands, but what I really wanted her to try was magnesium spray because she has a lot of pain in her knees. She also has trouble sleeping, so I thought she could use it for both. I was just talking to...

I’m suddenly developing other interests?

Amber @AmbiePam (111803) • United States 1 Feb

I don’t have a lot of artistic talent, but this big snowstorm that out of boredom got me to try the craft projects I needed to review, has me eager to try something new. Next up is a set of watercolors I’m being sent. I’m not...

Lenore Plassman Just enjoy yourself with the watercolors. I've shocked myself this past year, enjoying my sketching times. I'm still at cartoon level but taking colored pencils to paper kind of soothes me. I wish there was no judgement in our efforts. Just having fun should...

The Return

Amber @AmbiePam (111803) • United States 31 Jan

Yeah, I was gone from 8:30am to 4pm, not exactly a two week trek to the Himalayas. We spent time at my sister’s house, took her to Mad Eats (pictured is my Tuna Poke Bowl), and then made it to the birthday party of my dad’s friend...

Would you watch Melania's movie?

The Horse @TheHorse (234501) • Walnut Creek, California 31 Jan

I understand there's a new movie out, perhaps funded by Amazon. It is supposedly about Melania Trump, Donald Trump's wife. I have read that the movie is absolutely terrible, and that attendance during its first week in the...

Favorite Dessert

Amber @AmbiePam (111803) • United States 31 Jan

Hello friends. As you know I am retired so I live on a budget. It is not a tight one, but I must decide what to buy and what to skip. Lately I have had lots of extra expenses such as a big faucet and payment to Marco. And Mario...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54259) 30 Jan
