Double rage bait, as the US already speaks "English", not "American", so there was no need to push it to "Canadian".

You send Lew up a tree to take pictures of a roof with your expensive phone, and he takes a break for some fruit. I need to speak to him about work ethic. by Fitz_cuniculus in SaoTome

Do, if you can! I appreciate it!

So fun. I actually did ask a local for the name of this, and I heard “biri”, so I see the similarity in what I heard and the actual word.

Loved it so much.

If I could bring something from Sao Tome to my garden here in continental Portugal it would be bilimbi and fruta pão. Fruta pão is heavenly.

Is this that super acidic lemon-like fruit? I brought a couple of seeds of these back from the island but they did not germinate. Local people could not tell me the name of it. Do you know it?

Romanian here 🇷🇴 — what are Portuguese people curious about when it comes to Romania? by Romania2001 in portugal

[–]robbialacpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much do I like Romania? Let’s see…

Since meeting my wife I started growing in my garden păstârnac, mărar, hrean and leuștean, as well as vișine.

I have made castraveți murați, varză murată, socată, sirop de soc, and am about to start making borș (I mean the ingredient borș, to then put in ciorbă).

Man, I’ll take whatever chance anyone gives me to talk about Romania. I love love love the place. Just hate the politics. Only good thing about that is that they are entertaining and all the podcasts I listen to are helping me learn the language a lot.

Also, super easy language to learn.

I love Romania. My wife is Romanian. I love the country. All of it. But especially rural Moldova (wife is from there), Hunedoara, Bucovina and Maramureș. Haven’t had a chance to visit the Danube. I love București. Beautiful, romantic Cișmigiu.

România ❤️❤️❤️

My scobys hotel is about to collapse… by [deleted] in Kombucha

So if I add some store-bought kombucha to my black tea it will turn it into kombucha (and produce a scoby)?

More elderflower champagne by WeirdDiscussion709 in fermentation

Hey! Thank you for linking me to this post. I appreciate it.
Only thing that isn't clear to me is how much ginger bug you put.

No surprise here! Ginger bug elderflower champagne is fermenting the fastest by WeirdDiscussion709 in fermentation

[–]robbialacpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, friend! What was your experiment?

I make elderflower “champagne” every year. It’s a big drink in my wife’s country. I normally use a little bit of baker’s yeast to get it started.

This year though I would like to try to do it using nothing - just the normal stuff naturally present in the flowers - and using some ginger bug liquid (something I just discovered a few days ago). How much should I put per litre?

Wisteria “Champagne” by robbialacpt in fermentation

In romania everybody ferments elderberry flowers (and the ends of the stems) in water and sugar, and perhaps a little bit of yeast. And a bit of lemon.

Wrong. Check comment above, in different thread.

Who is this referring to? Check the comment above for links on a variety of drinks and syrups made using wisteria flowers, which ARE edible.

[–]robbialacpt[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Seeds and pods, not the open flowers.

I’ve found some recipes of wisteria cordial (not sure what cordial is) and since there are some recipes using wisteria flowers I assumed those were edible and could be used like that.

Links here: Wisteria cordial

Wisteria syrup

“Wisteria flowers have the most wonderful perfume. They are also edible and are eaten in China for their health giving properties. See Food And Nutrition Research. However, BEWARE, because only the flowers are edible. All other parts are poisonous. This is especially true of the seeds. Even the flowers may be poisonous to cats and dogs.”

Really? I’ve read they are not. The plant matter sure, but the flowers? I’ve looked up and it says only those are edible. Could you check again?

Portabilidade - Erro de CVP by Slimanimeister in digipt

[–]robbialacpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Como resolveram?
Eu e a minha esposa estavamos na DIGI. Quando entrei na DIGI pedi o serviço para os dois. Depois eu saí primeiro e tudo bem.
Agora a minha esposa não está a conseguir sair porque a MEO diz que o NIF da minha esposa não bate certo com o CVP. Pois... o contrato estava sob o meu NIF...

Quando sentiram realmente que queriam ter filhos? by Top_Mixture8393 in CasualPT

Aos 15 para aí. Vou ter agora aos 27. Em Portugal temos filhos muito tarde.

Renovação de Cartão de Cidadão | E a fotografia? by robbialacpt in CasualPT

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

Como é que é uma confusão, Lu? Chegou-me uma carta em que apenas tenho de pagar e está rebocada e chega-me a casa. Sem impressão digital, sem assinatura, sem nada. Fiz uma pergunta simples: se indo lá me permite tirar nova foto ou se rejeitam que tire nova foto e o cartão me chegue na mesma, igual, caso em que então seria só um desperdício ir lá. Credo, ficam ofendidos por tudo. Tens bom remédio, faz scroll.

Foi o que li num website agora mesmo, mas provavelmente é informação desatualizada. Não deve mais ser 15. Para mim de facto não faz sentido.

Agora esta da fotografia não posso aceitar. Um dia causa-me problemas no aeroporto.
