The Tangent Thread: "That reminds me of the time...."

According to some people,
in China they make food out
of cardboard. They call it food,
anyway.

A lot of gluten free breads have cellulose as an ingredient.
Cellulose is used to make paper and cardboard.
Yum!

I knew a girl who used to make pie filling
from fruit juice thickened with cornstarch.
She called it "Yum."

There were only the 2 ingredients.
I didn't think it was so 'yum.'

 

[DoNotDisturb]

My mum used to make pie filling that was lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch.
Actually, it was kinda yum.

Yum was also the name of a commercial product,
a canned vegetarian 'meatloaf.' This is similar to
the way it was made.

Calling that yum is false advertising.

I wonder if I could rotate to a more attractive angle? Maybe if I rotated very fast until I became a blur...

Seems like Yosemite Sam used to do
that, in cartoons. Whirl around very
rapidly. Or was it...some other kind of
animal? A Tasmanian Devil. That's the
guy. Taz.

Tasmanian Devils are endangered because of a terrible facial tumour disease. Poor little devils.

The Duke Blue Devils just dropped out of the Top 25 for the first time in eight years.

According to Terry Pratchett, the world sits on top of four elephants which in turn stand on a giant turtle. Actually, I don't know if he personally believes this. And one day I'm going to actually read one of his books.

Terry Pratchett was one of my favourite authors. I really like his philosophy on belief that he used in novels such as Hogfather - the world only exists because we believe it into existence.

I have a father, but he isn't a hog.

I like Terry Pratchett although i have only read a couple of his books, i really like the cleverness, things like the invisible collage, like Rosicrucians, like, i like roses ....you know my mother has a white rose she grew from a cutting from her Grandma

The deck of cards painted the white roses red
because the queen ordered it to be done.

My Grandma And Grandad had a buddleja bush in their garden my sister and I would watch the butterflies on it. They also had rose bushes it the borders and,when we were little, we would try to reach the roses to smell them, without treading on any of the other plants at their base. Happy memories

Here is a place I have been that
has some happy memories of gardens.
The stream, the star anise bush...
My mother couldn't go to the rose
garden. She was allergic.

I can grow roses, sweetpeas and snapdragons. I inadvertently murder any other plant I touch.

(Those gardens look lovely)

Maybe the plants you kill by touching are Sensitive Plants.
