Supreme Court denies foes of California’s foie gras ban a hearing October 14, 2014 at 04:39PM

What an irony! Out of so many places in the world, I have moved a place that bans my favourite food forever :(

Producers of foie gras in Canada and New York, joined by restaurant owners, challenged the law in court, arguing that it…

SPAGHETTI WITH MARMITE | Recipes | Nigella Lawson October 06, 2014 at 03:01PM

I have two jars of soon-expiring Marmite and Vegemite (hand-carried from Melbourne and London last year). Recently found out that they make healthier substitutes for soy sauce in soft boiled eggs, and they won't go bad for a very long time due to high sodium content. Still in need of more good recipes.

"We also sometimes experience the near-magical phenomenon of moving from strangers to best friends in almost no time at all. I call it the “click phenomenon.” Through years of qualitative study of friendship routines, I have found that, when asked to describe current best friends and the evolution of those relationships, many people respond that that they just “knew” they would be best friends with the person, almost from the moment they first met."
