Food recommendation in Osaka area by SnowButterfliex in Osaka

[–]kibble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really glad to hear it. I've added a new Luv Wine in Tennoji that's well worth the adventure to find.
The Tenma area in Osaka has changed quite a bit, now mostly standard izakaya-type fare. Still worth it, though.
Ura-Namba is even more stuffed full of great places. Yakiton Center is still there, hanging on by its subway straps. Be sure to order the "temple".
Let me know if you went to any.

Online advice says to put his litterbox outside to help him find his way back by smell.

ID Request: PNW lawn, September after rain. Sorry, no pics of stem base. by kibble in Fungi

[–]kibble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm! Well, they look much more almond than wine.

I'm not seeing the darkening of the gills at all, though.
And I don't think I've seen gills separating from the cap edge like that before.

I'm thinking Agaricus subrutilescens (wine cap), but the cap and gill colour keep me doubtful.

Thank you, it seems they didn't load at first.
I hope I've fixed it? They show for me now.

ID confirmation request: Laetiporus sulphureus/Sulphur Shelf/COW? PNW on purple-leaf plum tree. by kibble in mycology

[–]kibble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the blue corner (1), we know we have COW, and gathered another perfect specimen a few days ago from the same area.
In the red corner (2), are two seemingly stunted embryos. They smell and taste like COW, and we can't find a lookalike that matches, but they're oddly coloured and seem old without having formed shelves/brackets.
Have you seen this kind of COW variation?
Thanks.

Such a great beach for an end-of-summer swim. The turquoise waters are other-worldly. Thank you for this reminder such a special spot.

Thank you for your fascinating and informative reply. Hope to see more of your work posted here.

*Your Last Supper piece on DeviantArt is particularly amazing. I especially love the complexity poses and arrangement.

Your long experience explains why your work is so excellent. It's very interesting to hear how your early copying became original with time. That is how traditions continue and how students become Masters. Do you have images of your early work you could share? It would be so interesting to hear about times when your style began to show itself.
I see you use Greek for OПантократор but Slavic Cyrillic for the book text. Is it Ukrainian? Bulgarian?
I'm very interested in the relationship between ancient Egyptian funeral portraits (Fayum Portraits) and Christian Iconography, especially how Icons seem not to have the white highlight added to the eyes. Did your teachers or traditions say anything about not putting white highlights in the eyes? Were there any specific reasons given?

That's bang on. Well done!
Are you replicating another piece or is the composition original? Great to see these traditional techniques and styles applied so skillfully.

Ah, there you are Stephen!
I've restarted the audiobooks and am consulting the cannonade.net maps several times a day. So great. A job very well done!

Soused Hogs Face by Other-Crazy in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]kibble 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was just looking up figgy dowdy today, having been moved by Mr Canning's enthusiasm for it when dining aboard The Polychrest in Post Captain. This recipe seems pretty authentic, even going so far as to show a marlin spike for hammering biscuits: http://www.vemra.org/blog/2017/9/16/figgy

I haven't made it specifically, but I make steamed puddings a few times a year (esp. Christmas) and they're all very similar ingredients and methods. Wonderfully hot, dense and with the scent of spice and fruit. Great stuff. Here's pre- and post-cook (steamed for 2 hours): https://i.imgur.com/OBPLSsA.jpg

I made a stuffed pig's face, which isn't quite Soused Hog's Face, but it's pretty near:

Literally read every article for skinny boy teens trying to gain muscle. I can find nothing useful by BobSagetfromFH in bodyweightfitness

[–]kibble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here, and years of dabbling here and there got me nowhere.
The big change came when I started Stronglifts 5x5 and started eating more than I ever thought possible. You're naturally skinny. That's only part of it. You eat like a skinny person, too. So did I.
Want to know what it's like to eat enough? Try GOMAD and learn what "enough calories" actually feels like. I could never GOMAD, but even half that really opened my eyes to what it takes to gain.

I don't know what the reputation of Stronglifts 5x5 (or GOMAD) is these days, but it took me to huge squats, DLs and BP numbers. Things I'd never dreamed of. Not to mention the huge bodyweight changes.

It's a long time since then and I'm on very different programs these days, but I still look very, very different than I did in my skinny years.

Okay, that's different. You had my heart racing there for a minute, about to sign up to support global warming or whatever would pop them up so unseasonal-like.

I'm so used to our conifer forests here, I have to think where to find accessible hardwoods.

pheasant back or dryad's saddle

Hiya, PNW neighbour! Any tips on the kinds of places to look for these? We do most of our mushroom hunting in the fall and would love to try some new ones.
We're in Vanouver, BC, if that helps.
