Trying to think of creamy, and yeah, not really ay? Sometimes jook is analogous I guess, or corn based soup, but its a really different vibe.
Re flatbread, the wrappers for peking duck pass I reckon. And northern/central chinese food has lots of wheat based pancake deliciousness. Cantonese has steamed bread/mantau,which can be flatish. I accept that last one is a bit dubious though.
Happy birthday, hope you enjoyed the cake I saw in another post! I might be making it in a couple of months time for my one of the cover-kids birthday - either that or strawberry shortcake 🍰

Looking forward to book 3 in due course.
Furnaces aren't really a thing here in this part of the antipodes, but we are investing entering the late 20th century with an air conditioner as it's already been hitting 27/28°C in October.

The recent past beckons!
We also use analogue beds, but have some super high tech for when a window just won't do. It's called a ceiling fan.
I told the other mum about your savoury bread and butter pudding. Making one Monday as we left the playdate with 2 doz free-range eggs!

And another mum has a loan of your cookbook at the mo to help with ideas for her and her kid, so it's still doing the rounds and being appreciated.
From memory its a bit less acid and richer, I quite like it occasionally but haven't had any for a while. If I try I'll let you know 😉
Haha, put this in the wrong reply. I was hanging with a dairy free fam this arvo and we were discussing substitutions for baking etc. I thought this loo,ed like a fun one to make with the kids if it would work.
Do you think coconut yoghurt would work as a substitute?
I have no idea how or why, but we had RHPS on VCR when I was a pre-teen/early teen. My sister and I watched it all the time, knew all the words, would dress up and act out along with the movie.

I have no idea if my parents had watched it through before letting us loose with it.
Personally, I want to be a Granny Weatherwax, but think I'm more realistically a Magrat.
I just realised now from reading the thread. I assumed it was some unknown-to-me US nano-celeb. AI slop is not helping my already poor facial recognition.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I saw this when I was 13 and loved it. Now I'm putting it on the mental list of things to watch with my boy when he's old enough.
Vege planter prepped for summer: 10 pea seedlings, 4 heritage tomato seedlings, corn and beetroot sown in front. Space for up to 6 pumpkins to trail over the front when germinated, and melons are sown directly into compost around to the side out of shot 🌱 #gardening #gardensky
I hope it's not too bad, and you recover quickly.

But, yeah, the view from the higher wards is pretty good.
I've planted seeds, so cross fingers they're still viable. If we have excess I know a home for them 😜
I found a photo of some the crop from 2015! They are musquee, mystery ironbark variety I don't remember what, musqee x2, ironbark x2, musquee, and Galeux D'Eysines. The pumpkin painting was done by a friend of my parents in 1977.

I have found seeds and now know what this arvo entails.
Years ago we grew musquee de provence pumpkins. We had about 12, they were huge, biggest was over 13kg from memory. They were watery, but so delicious. I made ALOT of pies. And soup. I had a great pie recipe from NZ Gardener.

Must do that again. Growing them and the pies ...
Clearly panadol travelled back in time and across the hemispheres to get to him.
My husband and I were going through our local pamphlet today winnowing out "comon sense", "back to basics", and looking for VFF dog whistles 😬
And making common sense decisions.
Second that, big rock sounds better.
