Congratulations to her and her husband. (The story of their courtship is a fun one - don’t feel like searching for it, but it’s on the NZ Herald site someplace.) And to some extent it’s a shame she’s only taking 6 weeks versus the 22 weeks now mandated going forward from July. Raising it from 18 weeks was one of her…

Oh, that’s too bad.

If she’s still around, that should be one fun discussion about getting hotly pursued by a number of different guys when she was young. I don’t think the commercial mass production of them started until the 70s, so there may be some good stories in there about the hand carved ones.

Interesting, wasn’t aware of that. It’s possible it’s from Breton aka Celtic traditions, but keep in mind that the earliest examples in Wales are circa 17th century. I suspect it may just have been a good idea that spread.

Usually carved out of wood, you’ll see love spoons on the walls of most married couples in central and northern Wales; it’s not quite as common in Cardiff where some of the traditionalism (and adoption of Welsh as a second language) isn’t as common. I’m also guessing that Harry will get a ring from the Royals’ small…

Great timing. I may try this on my poor lid that still smells like the Kalua Pork from last night, along with my kitchen. (Got home and opened the windows wide.)

Two years later, still a star for this, and I may steal this the next time there’s a particularly inane response on the subject.

Have OP do this with r/aww for a few weeks.

You may be amused that the very first sous vide recipe forwarded to me by a friend, who after much urging, I recently convinced to buy a circulator was, in fact, your pig’s head article.

That would be why I refer to a potential deeper problem, because I could make an argument that it’s less about communication than either of them showing much respect for their partner.

LW1 provides her own answer.

Heh, forgot I had written this up earlier this year.

What neither this nor the Post article makes clear at all is something laid out in a Navy Times article.
