It’s always mango season when all your fruit is shipped in from Ghana.

The teachers frowned on us saying cunt.

Yeah I have friends in San Jose and Methdesto they say the water situation is pretty grim. Not exactly a concern here.I’m planning on setting up an automatic watering thing on the balcony, but that’s more to do with laziness than water conservation.

Basically my situation is that I have to start plants inside and get them up to a decent size by mid may. I then have until mid September at which point growth is basically at a standstill due to the cold. First hard freeze usually comes in early October.

They’re always up to shit like that. They like derailing cargo trains in Scandinavia too.

What about surströmming?

Maybe, I’m neither north American or a sports fan. But I’d rather have fried alligator or blackened catfish as far as fast food goes. And you genuinely can’t beat a bowl of seafood ocra gumbo over heavily buttered cornbread. Nom nom nom.

It’s also very satisfying growing things up here that really aren’t supposed to grow here. I’m going to try growing watermelon this summer.

Ok where I live is essentially a town built into the wilds and every spring the wilderness threatens to reclaim the streets. The sea, however is heavily polluted from commercial shipping and tourism so cutting down on things brought in from other places is more of a burning issue for me. The local farms supply all the meat and potatoes you could ask for but, pretty much all veg is shipped in from places with longer growing seasons. The chillis I buy are grown 2000 km away for example.

Actually what is sold as anchovies (ansjos) in Norway are sprats and don’t even taste similar to anchovies. I’ve only rarely seen actual anchovies in the shop and it’s usually in an international food shop. Anchovies are delicious on pizza.

Meadowscaping is just not gardening. A more environmentally conscious idea is to grow your own vegetables, to cut down on the fossil fuel used to transport food and reduce the amount of money going to agribusiness.

Even if you don’t have a garden, you can grow things like tomatoes and chillis in pots if you have a window that gets good light. Anything you can grow yourself helps.

Fucking Russia.

Maybe, but if even if you only take food from north America into consideration mexican food is still second place to Cajun/creole food…

That’s actually a pretty nice fork.

I actually own the cutlery set that 5 is from. Because it was the best option at IKEA at the time.

The only food you really need is Indian food.

They wouldn’t fuck a sofa, would they?

Stuff the tacos down as fast as possible then leave on my own.

Not if those chonky frontline dogs have anything to say about it.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I counter with “some people are just dicks”!
