Too much of nothin' can make a man feel ill at ease
One man's temper might rise, while the other man's temper might freeze.
In the days of long confessions, we can not mock a soul
When there's too much of nothin', no one has control.

Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion,
Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion.

Good morning, everyone. Happy Sunday! Quiet morning with a mug of Taylors of Harrogate's 'Yorkshire tea' and a bowl of rice... Good day to read a book!

There are many, many different kimchees, made from cabbage or daikon, cucumber, onion, etc., etc. Should be lots of garlic, ginger, chilli, AND... some sort of sea thing such as a raw oyster or scallop... Let THAT sit and ferment in a jug for a few weeks and the smell gets a bit 'ripe!' The burn can be controlled by the amount of chilli that it's made with. I've had kimchees that have taken off the back of my head and others that were so mild a child could enjoy. Brand by brand, maker by maker....

Right now Korea is fighting with Japan over kimchee... The Japanese have been making it, but instead of natural fermentation they have been adding citric and ascorbic acid to 'sour' it up. The Korean business leaders are suing the Japanese, say that they can't call it 'Kimchee' because it's not real! Actually, you CAN taste the difference.

She is very curious to try Japanese natto now...
My wife eats natto almost every morning with her breakfast. It's sold in little single-serving containers in the refrigerator case in the supermarkets. If your wife wants to try it, be sure she pours in about a teaspoon of soy sauce and a squirt of hot mustard, then stirs it all up like crazy! I like the flavor but I can't stand the texture and consistency!

OK then, since you asked so nicely (and because I had already photographed them to show to my sister tomorrow). But I'm not going to be in the photo's, that's too much work.
Nice clothes, but clothes are just clothes without a person inside to make them come alive. But... where the photo of you wearing the soap?

Next cup of tea... then settle back to wait for Iridal's foamy debut...
