I dream/wish for someone who I can passionately talk about food. To never get bored or too full to talk about food. To be as elated as I am every time we spend time in the kitchen preparing and cooking meals… even share my own happiness, trivial as it may seem, for fresh produce, fresh fish, freshly baked and crusty bread, the most luscious butter and fine cheeses, good aged wines or even just a brilliantly brewed beer, and lovely fresh herbs to put into our meals together or for our own family. To enjoy a meal which we both collaborated on and eat it in a most relaxed and casual way at our dinner table, and make a silly toast with our wine glasses and say, “Here’s to us damn awesome cooks/lovers!”.

Agreed! I love food all reading, cooking and eating of it! I think I have an addiction to cook books!

Our tendency as humans is to unquestioningly assume that we are far and away the most successful species that has ever been.

My shiny first car! I passed my driving test yesterday (first time *jumps about*). This means I will now be mobile when I start uni in October and not be dependent on a weekly minibus trip to go food shopping and will hopefully build up the determination to go swimming. I need to exercise!
I was so nervous yesterday but, thankfully all the practice payed off and I managed to just about hold it together.
She is a Fiat 500 which, what I wanted as they have very low carbon emissions and a high safety rating.
I went for my first independent drive this afternoon and it was only a little bit scary not having anyone there telling me where to go and what to do!
I still need to name her. I am think “Glorious” due to my recent watching of Glorious 39 on the BBC where they called the girl “Glorious” as a nickname or possibly “Glorious Gloria” but we shall see.

This is a really funny and interesting talk. The place he talks about Veta La Palma is real and it would be great if there could be more places like this over the world where good food is produced and the environment is not destroyed.
Found this through Bite-Sized Biology tumblr.

The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people’s grammar. It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for me in a situation where I’d normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world.
For example, when I read the sentence “I care about this alot,” this is what I imagine:
Similarly, when someone says “alot of _______”, I picture an Alot made out of whatever they are talking about.
If someone says something like “I feel lonely alot” or “I’m angry alot,” I’m going to imagine them standing there with an emo haircut, sharing their feelings with an Alot.
The Alot is incredibly versatile.
This is brilliant!

Scientists have discovered that a species of zooplankton will eat a fungal pathogen that is killing amphibians around the world.
Researchers at Oregon State University found that Daphnia magna, a freshwater microorganism, will consume the zoopore or the free-swimming stage of the “chytrid” fungus. The discovery opens the door for a possible biological solution to a problem that has confounded ecologists.
This would be amazing! So sad the threat to amphibians worldwide. A solution would be wonderful.
