mmmmmmm.....  raw fish and wasabi! 

[GazzaS]

Horseradish is difficult to come by in this part of Australia.  So Wasabi is the only way to enjoy it's great flavor and bite.

Heathens! But alas they are kids and know not what they're missing

I don't know why but wasabi in my mouth just feels like grainy green toothpaste. I don't sense any heat at all, but I eat all types of chili peppers and I feel that just fine.

Horseradish irritates the nose whilst chili's irritate the mouth.  So different kinds of burn.  Your sniffer working alright?  Or maybe you've had some weak/old wasabi.  Horseradish's effect weakens over time in storage, no matter how it is prepared.  I have bought some jars and been entirely disappointed.  If you let a good batch get to the back of your tongue, right under those holes in the roof of your mouth... that should wake you up.

I can smell horseradish pretty well, I think. Not a big fan of that either; likely because it just wasn't around when I was growing up. My grandmother was into sweet slaws and such. I can tell it has an edge to it, but the actual smell as opposed to the burn puts me off. I also don't do bitter things. Coffee always smells like burning plant oils to me; which once was a point of irony for me when I rotated to café manager as part of my general management training when I worked for Borders Books. It's hard to recommend an item you don't take part in, but hey training has to train, right? But regarding wasabi--my wife gets sushi on a fairly regular basis and even if storage is an issue, I would hope that I got a good batch at least once or there are going to be questions.

As far as chilies go, I've had a wide variety in both mouth and eyes, so I can handle the heat.

[GazzaS]

Interesting...  Coffee always smells better than it tastes to most ppl I know.  But to each his own.  I'm not a big chili lover.  I like a bit of Zing in my chili con carne...  but if it get's uncomfortable to eat, then it's no good.

 

I got cousins and uncles who pride themselves on being able to eat things that would strip the lining of a stomach...  But they must have a different gene...lol

Couldn't resist, I'm so happy and got 5 kilos of freshly caught Peto or White Tuna or Wahoo or whatever it is called in other places on the market today for nearly nada.

Not my bench this time... But someone else's.

On my rounds yesterday, I came across this sight through the front window of a House I was delivering to.

On closer inspection, someone inside had Model Kits spread out over the table. So I sent the photo to my Wife to show her... You know; here's a kindred spirit, someone like me, who also occasionally let's their Hobby invade a little of the shared living space, and that it might not be such a bad thing after all.

Her reaction?

"Oh, can we have a Cat?"

Sure, a Jagdpanther

It might be a scare cat and animatronic.

He does need to invest in some lighting rather than those Abe Lincoln candles.

You'll end up at best like this:

Or learning to work with one in your lap. 

Who needs a carpet monster now?

We have Cocker Spaniels, so there's hair on everything already.

There's a cute Calico on our daily walk route; my Wife's Girl thinks she's a Dog like her, and I let her go off-lead and they both roll around on the ground together!

Such an awesome Cat, so full of personality.

That's one way to describe a Calico cat. Another is to say they're nuts 

When I was talking to our vet about our cat and how she behaves, the vet said:

"Well, she's a Calico...."

And that was it. 

Here's my two bench companions in a moment of solitude.

We had three furry faces for a while, lost the last one 3 months ago, still finding fur etc impacted into everything.......miss the furry monsters.......Carl your calico is beautiful......
