  1. The prices seem really high, though.

    What a gifted artist. (Today is my mushroom day, apparently. Had three -- this is the 4th -- encounters one way or the other with mushrooms today. What a blessing to me. I consider mushrooms to be one of the most mysterious beings on earth.)

    And then he gets "something else" -- a feast for (anybody) recovering from an illness. What a lucky little boy! Also, I'm impressed that he will eat those mushrooms in the soup. (You've trained him well! )

    UN Crackers -- appropriate for that description!

    WASA is probably my favorite cracker. This is the light rye version. Whole grain rye flour, salt. "May contain wheat, milk, and sesame." Cover says "Swedish style" but the back says product of Germany. I used to like the full rye version but I can't chew them anymore. 😒

    Walnuts, avocado/green onions/hot sauce, cheddar cheese, Wasa rye crackers, and a glass of milk! The glass the milk is in used to be a German mustard jar.

    I thought you had to take the guts out or the fish would spoil rapidly. I know hardly anything about fish, though.
  9. ------------ In my USA terminology, "to broil" is what you say, the heat is from above "to grill" is what you say, the heat is from the bottom, BUT that's because the meat (or whatever) is on the barbeque grill and the fire is underneath. In other words, we grill on a barbeque grill 😄

    Boar's Head Strassburger liverwurst. (The deli person took the casing off.) It's OK but I only buy it because I can't find traditional Braunschweiger at my local stores. The German place where I used to buy it closed down a long time ago.

    Late night dinner.
  12. Thank you, Liuzhou, for this Willow story. I love history and find it especially fascinating how things go from one culture to another, anthropologically speaking. I'm not particularly interested in pottery, either, except for Rosenthal pre-WWII German porcelain, but seeing your photo of the young woman hand-painting such an intricate pattern reminded me of how much I admire the skills of those who do such work. As an aside, I can just about see you as a child in your great-great aunt's sitting room, your description is that evocative. I bet the cucumber sandwiches and butter scones were delicious.

    Thank you! I just listened to it. It satisfied my curiosity. 😁

    Fun to know about the wonton pronunciation variations. At first I missed that "won" had changed to "hún"! I'm curious about how Cantonese say "hún tún" -- is it like "Juan tawn"? That's more or less my pronunciation, which I think is pretty common. I had to look up shepherd's purse. The name rang a faint bell, probably from something I've read, but I've never seen it. According to Wikipedia, it's the second-most prolific wild plant in the world. Used in cooking, cosmetics, animal feed, and traditional medicines. Also, "Shepherd's purse was used as a pepper substitute in colonial New England." I will be on the lookout for Shepherd's purse! p.s. I agree with you about the 4th choice of filling -- gross!

    About to be my dinner. Homemade dumplings (from the freezer), doctored-up chicken broth, celery, green onion, ginger. With one of my favorite chili sauces.

    Oh yum (which is what I usually say to your breakfasts!).
  17. Happy healing! (now that you have a proper diagnosis)

    My kind of breakfast!
  19. Hi liuzhuo, thanks so much for this linguistic dive. To me it's fascinating.
  20. The only shrimp I ever buy anymore and then only very occasionally when on sale are shrimp labeled "raw wild Patagonian shrimp" shell-on headless deveined with "Sodium Metabisulfite (as A Preservative)." They taste pretty good. However, the last couple of times there were black segments in some of them and I asked about this. The fish person told me it was harmless. But I still cut it off.

    Well, Happy Birthday! Everything looks really good. Oysters, yum! That soup looks very interesting--I bet it's delicious. Good for you for celebrating! Too many people in my life don't like celebrating birthdays [edited for typo]
