Genesis 3;16

Speculoos or speculaas is a traditional type of cookie from the Low Countries that is spiced with ginger, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, cardamom and white pepper, if done correctly. So if there's no ginger, it's not speculoos.

That's actually Flemish, as this is a Belgian invention. In Dutch it would be called "Speculaaspasta".

As a Belgian I apologize for this addictive export product. (Speculoos paste). I only bought it once, and emptied the jar with a spoon before the day was over. Never again! Can't be trusted with it!

We need to send in Jeremy Clarkson to fart in mr. Capitanich' general direction. I wonder how Argentine women make do without these. I wondered the same when I was in Egypt and a pharmacist charged me 15€ for a box of tampons. He said they were imported- so what is it that the local women use? Washable rags?

the Far Side was the most consistently insightful cartoon ever published. It is profoundly missed.

Wait. Are you saying that cheese isn't a narcotic?

This cultural appropriation BS needs to stop. It is such a narrow minded American concept. Every culture in history has accepted linguistic, cultural, technical and religious concepts from other cultures. This is not theft- it is wisdom. Europe talking here: if we hadn't constantly adapted and changed cultural…

Sorry to rain on your parade, but this is not a real toy. It is an art project by a Polish artist, Zbigniew Libera. He uses modified toys to "play with the stereotypes of contemporary culture."

Well those are amazing, aren't they. All that work, and only the tiniest edges are ever seen. How supremely understated chic is that.

Pretty much the same thing for me, I have an interest in shibori techniques...

Kyoto is the most romantic city I ever vistited. Forget Paris, move over Rome- Kyoto is the place to be!

Just a quick run around to star all my fellow lovers of Japanese textiles... :D

I don't think Drew is in any kind of danger. There net is full of critical stories on Scientology, and there is little Scientology can do about it. They are not the bully that journalists once feared, and their numbers are down. Like way, way down. Sure they still have a lot of money, but the law system is on to their…

Oh they are fantastic when fresh. It's just, that if you freeze them, they turn into solid concrete :D

Oliebollen. "oil balls". Eaten traditionally by the Dutch in the last days of the year. They can be nice, in small amounts, a bit like currant-stuffed donuts without a hole. The best oliebollen come from mobile sales points that mysteriously appear in the early days of December, and are equally mysteriously all gone…

Me, I like birds. Not a furry, but they seem like an creative, open minded lot to me. So, what's your point?

This does not sound like Asperger's to me... A person with Asperger's may not naturally have the social skills that everyone else is born with, but should be of normal or high intelligence, and able learn what is right and what is wrong. The rules of social interaction can to some extent be learned. I get it wrong…

Yes, that definitely sounds like more than just Asperger's. Persons diagnosed with Asperger syndrome are usually of normal, or even high intelligence. I'm sorry for his parents and everyone else who has to deal with him...

And as a person with Asperger syndrome I fully agree with you on this.
