Here it is on YouTube. Easier to get to.

I have a huge collection of photographs of "No Photography" signs I have taken all around the world!

It might be that, too.

Rather disappointed the article only mentions a short reference to James Joyce's Finnegans Wake rather then the chapter of Ulysses where Leopold Bloom not only makes his wife breakfast in bed, but also feeds the cat then goes shopping for his own, returns and cooks and eats it. It is by far the best description of a breakfast I know. The full passage is here.

Pad Ped Pla Duk? ผัดเผ็ดปลาดุก?

Lazy food. I just didn't want to go shopping, so store cupboard dinner. Pasta with sausage, garlic, chilli, Chinese chives and coriander leaf / cilantro. Lazy but hit the spot.

I generally only use this simple one. As you can see it is well-used. Like so many others, it has a magnet to attach to the fridge or can stand on the counter. Loud of enough for me. If I need to use more than one timer at once (extremely rare), I also have one on each of my two cell phones.

How many wifes do you have? 😂

There was one road near my home where your car was almost guaranteed to be hit head on by a suicidal grouse every time you went that way. One of my earliest memories was of my father slamming on the brakes and telling me to run back and get the critters. They aren't the brightest of creatures, but sure are tasty.

Incidentally, this was my first meal out since early January. The street we were on has many restaurants and they were all packed.

Road kill grouse were a staple in my family when I was a kid. There were a lot of suicidal grouse where I grew up in Scotland.

Last night, I was invited to a preview of a new restaurant owned by a friend of a friend. Basically, it is a simple 快餐 (kuài cān) or Chinese fast food restaurant. Simple stir fries for the working man or woman. However, this one has a gimmick. No chef! No cooks! Everything is cooked by this. It's a programmable robotic cooking machine with hundreds of recipes already installed, but which can be tweaked to the user's satisfaction. A couple of people were preparing ingredients which were then loaded into a tray at the top, the door closed and shortly later it 's ready to serve. We ate: Chicken with green and red bell peppers peppers and wood ear fungus. Mixed vegetables Soup Different chicken with bell peppers Stir fried cucumber Pork and Tofu Fried rice noodles Passion Fruit Wine The verdict. No thanks! The food was bland, underseasoned and boring, but then most fast food is. Bell peppers!! On the plus side, it wasn't greasy like so much of this food can be. We sent for a bowl of the local specialty from next door - Duck and snails in a spicy soup. Great stuff! Still, it was a fun and interesting experience, but not one to be repeated. I like my food to be cooked by someone with taste buds.

Bought a large pile of mixed dried wild mushrooms today. These will go in the emergency store. Oyster mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, chanterelles, almond mushrooms, cèpes, cordycep militaris, morels and bamboo pith mushrooms. All foraged in Yunnan province.

Yes. That's typical. Horrible.

As far as I can make out, most of it is used as a dressing for revolting fruit salads - both regular and sweet versions. And slathered on "pizzas" and "sushi", both of which have been fashionable in recent times. I guess the regular one is the same as what you have there, but I've never been there, so can't be sure. Almost the only times I use mayo of any sort are with potato salad or tartar sauce, but I make my own and certainly don't sweeten it. The non-sweet Kewpie version does contain sugar according to the ingredient list.

We normally get both. I've never bought the toothpaste type and very rarely buy the jarred type. I think today is only the second time ever and I don't really know why I did! I always make my own.

The blue one reads "Kewpie Sweet Mayonnaise".

The Chinese is bigger! 😂

It tells you on the label. In English. 😁

I noticed today that Kewpie "mayo" is back in at least one store.

With coffee served in this.

@Kim Shook Very American Chinese! 😁🥢
