You are right. Hummus came to America from Lebanese Christians driven from their homeland by Muslims. Lebanon was Christian country before 1973.

...and the ‘raisins’ in rice pudding are rabbit droppings. A little cinnamon and nutmeg, and you’re good to go. YUM!

I know. Miss my dogs a whole lot. You call them, and they actually come with their tails wagging.

A cat comes when he thinks he is ready for you. One cat, Fred, is due in here now to stick his whiskers in my nose or eyes. He thinks that is so much fun.

I have blue, black and green. My eyes are hazel. They are bigger than normal lenses, but they are soft. No problem. The bright blue ones don’t come out brigh blue because of my natural eye color. Really easy to wear.

Go for it!

Don’t like spicy food? Otherwise, you’re missing out. It’s good stuff.

Spicy food burns my tongue. I have to have some sour cream close by when I eat anything spicy.

You can yell for a snake until your lungs explode.

They have no ears and I doubt they’d pay heed, even if they did.

Years ago [as made infamous on FR] one of my Ball Pythons went on a 3 week slitherabout.

I looked everywhere, hundreds of times over, barely slept...and I kept yelling his name.

Once in a while, I’d think to myself, why are you even doing that?
He can’t hear and wouldn’t come, anyway!

Lo and behold, he finally showed up in the bathroom that all the other snakes seem to find so irresistible.

Thank you. I was just going to check The Forme of Curry - that medieval cookbook which features some of these flavorings. Well, maybe not MSG but who knows?!

More like 5 hours.
:D

Black Water Falls is hours away and we both got into a grudge-lick match.

Tried to see who’d finish theirs, first.

I was sick for days.

Nopardons strikes again! A cookery book of America through the ages manages, in its oh-so-politically-correct way to come up with Siracha! All the spices you mention and are in all the early 18th century cookbooks - including garlic. And vanilla was discovered by an American slave??

Lived in Williamsburg for a year. Remember the Restaurant at the east end of the Town that used the old recipes. Still have a Williamsburg cookbook.
