Some will be offended, but I prefer the version that has aubergine (smoky/burned as you would for Baba Ganough or Baigan Bharta).

Haven't tasted multe (Rubus chamaemorus) for a very long time. When I lived in N. Norway, I would go and pick them in the mountains. Folks are very secretive about when and where to find them -- you need to find them yourself.

The Undhiyu season should have started, but my wife tells me that the vegetables and fruits crops have got spoiled because of unseasonal rain. That's what the vendors told her.

Thanks for a nice reminder of the boot process. It's many decades since I worked at that level, but it all comes back to me now.

I have a bank account that does that on the login page. Beyond irritating.

I remember very clearly the ghoulish groups of people lining the road staring across to the opposite side of the valley where the disaster had taken place. It sickened me then; and still does when I recall driving past them.
