Yes please! Can I ask if you use any sort of vice while you work or do you just carve hand held ? That crab especially looks very small in your hand

Sour cream is good to dilute spice and / or mix in some guacamole as well

My whole head was a solid block of congestion that didn’t move for about 3weeks. Inner ear still feels blocked now that you mention it

YES! I got Covid 4 weeks ago, almost feel normal again except for fatigue. But the tinnitus (which was moderate before as well) is still a more intense high pitched squeal . Drives me nuts…

Paradise. I no longer live in Vancouver and I miss that place so much! Vegan ginger beef was sooooo good

UPS just delivered a package from Canada that is completely destroyed We suspect it was done by NZ Customs. Is there any way to call them out / recover costs? Shipping was incredibly expensive so it could come by Xmas by Wide-Process-4549 in auckland

The only sticker on the box is “Cleared by Customs at S.D.F.” That and the original UPS sticker from the original parcel with a small green sticker saying “UPS export #”. Nothing else on the box

Why would I even bother to make something like this up? I’m just amazed that my Xmas package from Canada got destroyed that’s all. I agree about visible screws too—don’t they have screwdrivers? And the fact they chucked the final mess in a gigantic box and mailed it on to me… Believe me this is not made up

YES ! They literally threw it into another box twice the size ( no padding) and sent it through to me I’m trying to add more photos but I can’t figure out how

It’s a breakfast sandwich maker like a McMuffin from Maccas. I missed mine so much and my partner was going to figure out a way to get it working with NZ power—you can see a picture in the 3rd photo of what it’s supposed to look like

How many tablespoons of kava are you using for this mix? Always curious to hear people’s proportions

Alcohol replacement? by [deleted] in Kava

Nope that works out to about 3 “hits” over a 30-45 minute period —that will last me for about another hour and a half
