Simple but sounds completely delicious.

Hmm the link doesn't seem strong then to Scotland. In the meantime...off to find turkey soup with summer savoury recipes

I got some summer savoury seeds last year as I'd heard a Newfie sing its praises. Absolutely dreamy herb. I am wondering why it hasn't spread more widely in fame. (Also wondering whether the connection bw Newfoundland and Jamaica is Scotland?)

We have never met and live on different continents and I am so glad you did. I guess 'cooking huge meat slowly over hours' anxiety is universal

I panicked just reading this

Absolutely and huge here now, over the past 5 years or so (Australia).

Sounds like a great project!

Absolutely it's such a delicious treat. We traditionally make it in a form with a hole in the middle - maybe that would combat the sagging? I'm also wondering now whether it linguistically went pudding -> pudim -> purin or another order. I did not find the answer in my searches!

And I still have huge uni debt 🥲, and I am more of a generalist now after following preventive and collection management paths, but I am always a conservator. The world is a collection of materials reacting together, in a living society that has a heart and a need to understand its past

Because I'd also done a double degree where I'd studied arts and humanities subjects including archaeology, sociology, biology, and technical writing I ended up not majoring in art or decorative art in the end but objects and natural science objects instead.

She had gained her degree through a master of arts, something actually achievable for me. So I followed her advice and applied. How a chance question posed to an online friend on a different continent changed the course of my life.

I also couldn't imagine taking on another bachelor's (and the incredible debt that would bring) after years of study. Then I had my chance conversation with my online friend. I think we mostly talked about Patrick O'Brien and what our favourite boats were. One day I asked her what she did for work

I couldn't imagine my immigrant suburban self ever rising to such service to the masters so I ended up studying art with words instead. But I wasn't happy. I visited a paintings lab during my art history degree and asked a conservator how to get into the profession. He said you needed a BScience.

My first encounter with conservation was a documentary about the conservation of Boticelli's Primavera that I watched when I was a pre-schooler. Somehow stored using different in-painting materials and varnish removal in my memory after that

It is almost impossible to have more than one Thing as there is simply not enough time.

This made me go on a little etymological journey looking into the word purin and its relationship to the words pudim (portuguese) and pudding (english). Next stop: world tour of all the world's flans?
