Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices:

Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices:
Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin.
But dolphins, which fill the oceans with blipping and chirping, and whales, which mew and caw in ultramarine jazz - a true rhapsody in blue - are hunted to the edge of silence. ; Credit Jay Griffiths

Thai food "
ain't about simplicity
It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish.
Like a complex musical chord it's got to have a smooth surface but it doesn't matter what's happening underneath

Simplicity isn't the dictum here, at all.
Some westerners think it's a jumble of flavors, but to a Thai that's important, it's the complexity they delight in Credit David

Shame i am the other end of the country.
Have a great one Sam with the #ChangBeer on the #ChangSensoryTrails

My Queen of the Pome Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was known to consider apples sacred.


My Queen of the Pome Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was known to consider apples sacred.
Historians believe the apple favored by Aphdrodite were really quince.

The legendary golden apple of Hesperides that Paris gave to Aphrodite was really a quince.

In Medieval times, Europeans thought quinces aided the digestion and prepared them frequently along with meats.
The English called the combination chardeqynce meaning flesh of quince.

Now in Season My Queen of the Pome (after the Latin word for fruit: pōmum) is a type of fruit produced by flowering plants in the family of Rosaceae. (which also contains apples and pears, among other fruits)

Throughout history the cooked fruit has been used as food, but the tree is also grown for its attractive pale pink blossoms and other ornamental qualities.

The fruit was known to the Akkadians, who called it supurgillu;The modern name originated in the 14th century as a plural of quoyn, via Old French cooin from Latin cotoneum malum / cydonium malum, ultimately from Greek κυδώνιον μῆλον, kydonion melon "Kydonian apple".

I am sure all you Foodies know what it is ;)

Fairy Dust

Fairy Dust ??? "The distinction between our physical selves and mental states is a philosophical construction, but it signifies a line in the sand between those who believe our bodies make us human and those who define humanity by our thoughts and social lives."

At the Digital Death Day
Aleks Krotoski  meets with Vered Shavit from Israel who having dealt with her late brother's digital legacy set up a website called Digital Dust to help others going through the same experience.

Hearing Vered's story Alek's asks how are we using the web to adapt the rituals that we have used for centuries to help us transition between the living and the dead?

Aleks discovers that since Vered's brother's death people continue to communicate with him through his Facebook profile. Dr Elaine Kasket a Counselling Psychologist who practices psychotherapy with the bereaved likens Facebook to a modern day medium. She also explains how Facebook is enabling people to continue bonds with the deceased.

The distinction between our physical selves and mental states is a philosophical construction, but it signifies a line in the sand between those who believe our bodies make us human and those who define humanity by our thoughts and social lives. But after our death can our persisting digital selves continue our presence for those left behind?

Ping Eli Fennell  got me thinking a bit more of more of ETER9 
a good interesting radio/podcast show.
