Commented on Taste test: Togarashi
Try Ema Datse next time: http://graham.main.nc.us/~bhammel/tscd/bh/emmadatschi.html seems a good recipe to me, and with lots of background info....
Commented on Netherlands runs out of criminals, has to shut prisons
No no no no! Most drugs (apart from alcohol and tobacco) are NOT legal here. They won't book, fine or imprison you for posession of up to 30 grams of 'soft drugs' (hashish, marijuana), but it's still illegal. Read more...
Commented on For once, news about why we're safer than we used to be
You shouldn't have said that... Thank god the passengers are safe....
Commented on Lovely photo of Lemming skeleton
Although climate change isn't something to joke about, my first thought upon seeing this photo and the accompanying story was: Oh no!...
Commented on Chocolate Santa holding a tree or sex toy?
This is what's locally called "Kabouter Buttplug" (roughly translates as "The Buttplug Gnome") (pic here http://www.kabouterbuttplug.nl/), modeled after the larger than life statue by Paul McCarthy. The statue is now standing in the courtyard of the Boymans van Beuningen Museum...

Well, poppy plants are processed into heroins, so you can't just jump on the cannabis seed's case. As a side note, how would cannabis seeds taste on bagels?...

At the high school cafeteria where I teach in Japan there's a big ol' container of togarashi on the counter. I put it on everything!...

As for cannabis seeds: do realize you may subsequently fail drug tests, for a considerable while. There's prisoners getting in trouble for eating poppy seed-covered buns, from the first generations of herointests (maybe not anymore?). Poppy (or "moon") seeds being a regular ingredient, I assume they now make the tests not to be triggered by those metabolites. Cannabis seeds being an unusual, and presumably mostly illegal, ingredient (only bird seed springs to mind), positive tests may result from eaten-but-not-smoked-cannabis metabolites....

Heheh, shichimi is great stuff. I've gotten my parents hooked on it and House-brand Ra-yu (chili-infused soy oil), the kind with the ground chili in it. I have to send some of each to them in the states every few months (no Asian grocers anywhere near). We take it camping, too, as an essential (as in: salt, pepper, shichimi--that's all the spices). Great stuff, and it goes with almost anything....

Ah, but alcohol has an actual effect, in that it does increase the blood circulation a bit. Personally, I rather enjoy that side effect of drinking: If I feel overly warm, I'd much rather move some of that out to my icy feet instead of just sweating to try and get rid of some heat - and when I get a bit drunk, things seem to work better. (I've apparently inherited a slightly weak blood circulation in my hands and feet. It can be somewhat annoying.) Mind you, even just hiding the feeling of cold feet could be nice, and...
