Today I had biuli dal lentil and rice

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (20284) 6h

Today I had biuli dal lentil and rice. I also had prawn curry with the rice. The prawns are boiled and cooked with potatoes. Buili is one of the soft lentils which add taste and can be eaten with rice.

We're house-sitting insect houses at our house-sit

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349037) • Rockingham, Australia 8h

Well, we don't really have to do anything to them but it's interesting to see them. At several places on the verandah at this house-sit, the lady of the house has set up these little houses for insects. These are designed to...

Bucket Lists

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (52700) • Canada 19h

With only a couple of years left of my working career, my mind often drifts off to the bucket list. You know the list that we fill when we do not have the time or the money to do something or go somewhere that we would really...

M Cheung Your dream trip sounds good. When I was in Canada, I stayed in Halifax, Nova Scotia for 2 years. It's a very beautiful city.

Safe in a new country

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349037) • Rockingham, Australia 20h

Most people love their home countries but are forced through circumstances to leave it. I met a lovely South African woman at the horse endurance ride that we attended recently. Her 12-year-old daughter was doing her first 20...

Has Anyone Ever Surprised you with Stupidity?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (93068) • United States 24 Mar

I get that a lot. I am not immune from stupid myself, but at times, I just can't understand the lack of foresight or insight. Especially since I had been going over the same thing over and over...

M Cheung I am sure I get stupid once in a while. But honestly, if the person keeps on doing stupid things, that annoys me.

The photo shows a beautiful gerbera or African daisy which is growing in the garden at our house-sit. The gerbera originated in South Africa and was named in honour of Traugott Gerber (1710-1743), a German botanist and medical...

One hundred and ten in the water-bag

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349037) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Mar

We have had a run of really hot weather again and it’s set to continue for the week. It brought to mind another saying which I’d like to assume was best known in Australia. But we all know what happens when we assume stuff so I’ll...

2 Opposing Headlines

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (93068) • United States 24 Mar

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to get these families living in cars and homeless places to live so that they could restart their life or is it more cost effective to revamp this playground? The opposing headlines in the...

M Cheung While I do not understand the situation in US, it sounds logical to me that the money should be spent to help the homeless families.

Three days no water in my location

Erly Maglangit @cacay1 (84474) • Cagayan De Oro, Philippines 24 Mar

It's so frustrating to suffer water outage starting this day, Monday up to Wednesday evening. There's no memo sent by Water District. The management only announced at dawn of Monday when people were still sleeping. We only...

An empty cubby house

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349037) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Mar

Every second or third day at our house-sit, we have to water the gardens. Most of it is reticulated so it’s a matter of switching valves on and off every 10 to 15 minutes. The whole process takes a bit over an hour. To one side...

M Cheung That house is cute. I'm sure the girl had some fun time there. 100F is really hot. It's good that you can work in the evening.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349037) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Mar

The photo shows the clock in our bedroom at the house-sit. I wrote about trying to work out when it switches from afternoon to evening to night. Now I have a new challenge. We were awake early – just before 6am – and I put on my...

We Had Conveyer-Belt Sushi! (Again!)

Ali Canary @AliCanary (3282) 23 Mar

When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Japan, one of the fun things we did was go to a restaurant in Tokyo where you would sit at a bar facing a conveyer belt. Sushi chefs would make individual servings of sushi on little...

Interracial Marriage - viable?

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (1962) • Eldoret, Kenya 23 Mar

M Cheung I do not see any problem with interracial marriage. In fact, it is pretty common nowadays. The case you mentioned is more of the family and class issue.

Busy Sunday

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (52700) • Canada 23 Mar

In sanctuaries cheetahs are kept with strong net caging

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (20284) 23 Mar

A lot of space is given and artificial habitat is created for cheetah or leopard. The fencing and net caging is done in a way whereby the cheetah cannot jump beyond the habitat. Food is provided to these animals and they live in...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349037) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Mar

1955 Top Ten Songs: I Want You to Be My Baby (#10)

Four Walls @FourWalls (72645) • United States 22 Mar

All month long I’ve talked about how 1955 (well, the 50s in general) was filled with multiple versions of the same song. We kick off the top ten portion of the look back 70 years with yet another example of one song turning into...
