Interesting. I'd not heard of either before. I'm quite interested in understanding more about how spices work. I'm good with herbs and individual spices but I don't really understand how spices work in combination. I can use spices in fixed combinations but I struggle to understand how they work together IYSWIM.
.
Just thinking about this more. There is an old saying about what grows together goes together. I think its safe but not true. Imported spice made food, and the movement of spices and food changed peoples.
One of the reasons v. old recipes appeal to me is because in a crazy way they are very like that middle eastern food. And Chinese food a bit, but less so.
That something spicey to Intrigue, ( ok, then it was probably to conceal too) something meaty, stretched if need be, and some sweet often, That kind of balance of flavour.0 -

What year number is it?
Is it the same date every year, or are your years shorter/longer/different at all?0 -

The possibilities are infinite...
Let's see....
RP might be transgender or be intersex
It might be something another member of the rates household has asked me not to identify
It might just be a foible
Of course it should. I thought it was a standard part of the etiquette of belonging to any internet forum that you respect other people's choice about how much information to reveal about themselves, even if it's different from yours.
The thing is, people may not notice that you never mention RP's gender. I've seen your RP referred to on here as "he" and "she" by various people who've been assuming one thing or the other, as well as being given a pronoun by people who've visited you and met RP but maybe didn't realise you didn't want to be specific about which parent is residing with you.
In any case, back in the day when PN's parents were both alive, she always referred to them in gender neutral ways, and it wasn't until after her dad had died that she made it public that the Old with the Big C had been the male one. So we should all be used to that kind of thing by now. I don't feel it even qualifies as an oddity.
Likewise, those of us who know each other's real names shouldn't use them on here, even if the real name is very similar to the person's screen name.PasturesNew wrote: »... a strange concept. Until this thread I didn't even know middle eastern shops existed
Never mind that they could possibly be "local". What's the google for that, "middle eastern shop in....."?
Edit: Looks like they're only in London, Bath and Birmingham.
London and Birmingham I can understand. Bath???? That's suddenly England's third most multicultural city????Good wishes for a Happy New Year to all Jewish NP and NP partners!

Happy New Year silvercar, and all other NP and their families who are celebrating it. Hope you all have lots of fun. _party__party__party_Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

I would have thought areas with mosques and halaal butchers more likely....so might have thought Bristol more likely than bath ( does bath have either? ...it has no synagogue any more, but does have a jsoc at the uni) And places like bradford.
I wouldn't expect these places to be google able particularly. They often look nothing special but are incredible within.0 -
I tend to use other terms, e.g. Old, or furries .... to distance myself from things I can't really bear to think/talk about. If that makes sense.0

Yes, that makes lots of sense. We all have our reasons for the things we choose to say and not to say. Yours are just as valid for you as lir's are for her or anyone else's for them.

Nikkster, how is your thesis?
I have been puttng off doing tonight's marking (5 classes of it) but am running out of displacement activities, so thought I could squeeze an extra minute of delay by posting something to encourage you. (Or maybe it won't. In which case, sorry.
