This may be the single nastiest thing that I've ever tasted... who figured out how to cure them? As for topics... I never considered my blog more than small talk about my family... see, low standards help you succeed! :-) To add to the list - have you ever tried a ripe olive?

I don't know if you remember me, we met on ONNA all those years ago, and I found you because Google threw you up when I did a search for Phoenix Amon in a vain attempt to find out what she was up to these days. We also met up once at a diner in Small Mountain University Town when I was on a trip with my husband, mum & dad from England - March 1999, it was, BD (Before Dotter) for you guys. Anyhoo, about ideas for your blog - how about a tribute to Arthur C Clarke and whether we're likely to see what he predicted. As you know he died last week at about the same time as the English film director Anthony Minghella and I was astonished to see that the director (who directed The English Patient among others - admittedly good films but not earth-shattering stuff) had more of a splash made of him in the press that the inventor of geostationary communication satellites and the author of the world's greatest science fiction/fact film!! Perhaps there's something there about how the cult of celebrity is is celebrating (are those words connected? celebrity? celebrating?) the wrong kind of people.... and I don't know how political you want to get but is all the trouble between China and Tibet being reported as much in the States as it is over here? In England they're talking about placing vast amounts of security around the torch runners when they get here - are the games in China a good idea? And how does it make you feel when considering the whole human rights issues with it being the birthplace of the Dotter? I'll stop rambling now - but it's good to hear you 3 are all doing fine...

Toxic raw, toxic boiled, OK to eat if boiled twice. What in the world kind of trial-and-error produced THAT knowledge? What about poke sallet? Toxic raw, toxic boiled, OK to eat if boiled twice.

As in, who decided that cicada skins would stop tremors? Or silkworm poop would cool you down if overheated. (they still make pillows out of silkworm poop for babies) ok, maybe not a topic starter, but still..why? I’m studying acupuncture & herbal medicine and have wondered the same thing.
