Only just found out she did a cooking prog. I know her as Salman Rushdies ex, a bit of modelling and some tv bit parts.

Just so long as she is not the Foot Babe. Or is that Food Babe?

I didn't recognize who she was until you mentioned it. Just that she looked familiar.

From what I have seen, I cannot believe
That Padma Lakshmi is a woman of 50.
My concupiscent eye did receive
Images of such eloquent anatomy.

Me too. I understand them more and more each day.

A vocabulary is a living thing and grows all the time.

My first encounter was too many years ago for comfort, but I was glad of it. I like poetry.

The Emperor of Ice-Cream
BY WALLACE STEVENS
Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Because you're a bear and get excited at the thought of food.

Human food and human-food.

It's a Freudian thing.

This makes no sense..... I can open a bank account in Canada, with a bank that has branches in America. But I cannot open a bank account in America (the same banks) and access it in Canada

More than one person is involved, so it cannot make sense by definition.

No need, and its spendy too. Moving money across borders through a bank usually has a low exchange rate and they also change 6% for the privilege of moving your money to your other bank.

My work round is sign up to a good money transfer agent. I use wise, xe, currency direct and halo financial. Wise is the best at the moment, the transfer at the current exchange rate and charge a low commission of around 0.03%.


We actually save around €100 to 150 a months by including an extra step... Crazy eh?

Tax and power officials in Canada, want bank accounts (Canadian Bank Accounts) for transfer to pay bills

It is a conspiracy of global elites to keep bears out of picanick baskets.

Something to do with pizza shops and fluoride.
