I hope he didn't ruin avocados for you with that?

No idea, I'm in Europe. you could maybe make your own? the strenght comes, apart from the amount and type of mustard seed flour (I imagine), from the fact that cold liquid is added, not hot, beacuse heat breaks down the mustard-y strength enzymes or whatever apparently.

Vaguely related: the Finnish put mustard (Finnsih style - pretty mild stuff) in their pea soup (I volunteered at a Finnish christian rock music festival once and was on food handing out duty). just putting it out there.

I wasn't following the thread with much consentration so when you went

a 'murderess' in this case perhaps

vaguely related: Russian style mustard is pretty hot. maybe not as powerful as wasabi, but not far off. just putting this out there.

one time he started drinking from a milk carton that had been sitting half empty in my fridge for way too long.

yes, I have.

I just love it when assholes get their first taste of wasabi. brings back memories. I didn't even have to sell it as a 'green Japanese mayo', I just left the take-out sushi containers unattended for a brief while and there the asshole was tilting the wasabi into his mouth. normally he was all 'what's this? is there…

yeah. I wonder what the next one is gonna be about.

Ilta means evening in Finnish and looking at Finnish names in general that would not register as super weird on my radar. Valdis is a common male name in Latvia(n) (also a bit in Estonia).

I was instantly reminded of music scholar Dr Juniper Hill.

this is doing all the expected things for me. please carry on.

1) whenever someone uses 'haha' anywhere, I just want to barf.

1. it's September! which means Tom of Finland stamps are available! where my Finns/Finnish residents at? mail me stuff! maybe I should shop in some Finnish e-shops? always could use some more Moomin stuff.. the Finlayson Moomin towels are of really nice quality...

oh, t.a.t.u... I was what, fifteen? when t.a.t.u broke in my corner of Eastern Europe and they did a concert in our city/town and of course I didn't go because why would I go to a concert of a Russian band (shitty teenaged reasoning) and then I regretted not going when two girls from my class were raving about it…
