Re: Post something you've learnt today
you can make marscarpone cheese by boiling cream and adding lemon.
I can't decide whether this changes everything or nothing.

I used to work at a place that blended mascarpone with maple syrup as a topping for french toast. Totally decadent and delicious.

See, that sounds delicious.
My fastest nicest meal I make is putting spinach, pesto and mascarpone together on pasta.
Or the fastest nicest dessert, mixing lemon juice with mascarpone on a pie crust... the most delicious non-baked cheesecake.
Maybe I'm glad I'm paying someone to boil and stir my curdled cream for me.
These little things still blow my mind though.
Like how clotted cream is just cream baked in the oven for 12 hours on 180 degrees.

The Maasai leave their dead for the vultures. If a vulture doesn't try and eat them, it's considered bad luck and somewhat shameful. As a result, the dead are coated in animal fat and blood to tempt the birds to the cadavers.

Of course! It's when New Yorkers don't want to do things.

I'd like to go like that but round here you'd have to leave me out for the pigeons.

Re: Post something you've learnt today
I learned that masses of people can be overly optimistic at times. The weatherman is calling for showers turning into thunderstorms this afternoon and yet, I didn't see a single person carrying an umbrella on their way to work this morning (including me). I predict a whole bunch of soaked fools later on today.

Had a friend from England over for dinner tonight and I learned that for the average English person "tea" means a tea bag and hot water, milk and or sugar if you like. I also learned that tea with lemon is not drunk very much at all.

That "La Brea" means "the tar", so "The La Brea Tar Pits", when the Spanish bit is translated to English is "The The Tar Tar Pits".

Thai people change their name from time to time. Tradition. Apparently.
