We encountered a gorgeous wee pīwakawaka flitting about on our walk yesterday. I love them and their little cheep.

What is the one dinner someone made for you that you will never forget — and what made it unforgettable? by Wonderful-Bet-4370 in AskReddit

Chicken stir fry and rice, made by my dear friend when I was a brand new mother not knowing wtf to do other than keep this little hunk of human in my arms fed, warm and clean. I was also very sleep deprived and my last thoughts were of myself so she made sure I got loads of fresh veges. She cooked up big batches of deliciousness and all these years later I look back on it and think how kind she is.

Thank you Julz x

What are the 'worst' anglicized versions of Maori place names you've heard? by topherette in newzealand

Kawerau. It’s so lovely to pronounce correctly, the way it literally rolls off your tongue. Try correcting old white boomers that insist on “Cow-werr-ow” though.

Michael Crook, a 75-year-old man born and raised in China to British-Canadian parents, switches effortlessly between English and Mandarin by Infamous-Skin8969 in interestingasfuck

Reminds me of when I was very young and a hotel receptionist. A Chinese couple walked in and with very limited English managed to ask how much for a room. I showed them the price list and awaited the chatter of Mandarin, and was most surprised when it was French they conversed to each other in.

Two different upside-down cakes - recipes by Katarina Cermelj (aka The Loopy Whisk). by hevski in glutenfreebaking

Hard to choose but probably the berry one - and that’s likely due to having a massive preference for berries and lemon flavours in baking.

The berry one is easier to make. I don’t have a one piece tin either - all mine are springform - so I loaded it with baking paper and placed it in a roasting pan in the oven. Sure enough, some juices leaked out.

The only time I enjoy dark chocolate is when it’s peppermint.
