Things that are making you happy*******food and drink edition******

jeez.... are you the semantics police of the honey world? no, not in MY home, but someone else's home in NC. Maybe I should have said "hand made", or "hand harvested and hand packaged in a small batch process" as opposed to being harvested with an extractor and packaged by automated machines. And if you say honey is honey you clearly don't know much about honey.... a little touchy about honey today?

Honey badger don't care.

If I ever get to Japan, which I will (hay impolyt ) I don't know what I would spend more money on, bonsai-related goods or food.

can you really spend that much on bonsai stuff? The food gets expensive, Japan is still home to the $100 fruit. Lunches are cheap though, I have been eating garbage for the past week in Korea, I thought I'd enjoy pigging out on my own, but it's kinda weird feeling now and when I get back to my home I want to go straight to Chateau Robuchon for lunch and get 5 plates.

Yes. Specimen trees are easily in the thousands of dollars, you have tools that are $100 or more, even if you just want to buy pottery you're looking at hefty cost, then shipping... I mean, even if you don't get specimen stuff, you can still pay 250 for a single tree and not even think about it... and to be frank, I would be buying a TON of bonsai and ikebana ****.

While on the topic... after the Sendai earthquake, I heard a story and never followed up with it but there was a bonsai master who had several trees that were worth millions (one was worth $16 million IIRC) and his studio was right on the fault line... no one had heard from him for weeks.

Somebody seems to be raising really good looking, reasonably sized ducks around here finally. It makes me happy. Will know tomorrow if they are any good in fact.

My girlfriend knows me so well. This is what she got me for Valentine's Day/ my birthday.

This is so much more exciting to me than immersion circulators and rotovaps.

It's Typhoon's Cast Iron, 750 ml model. Have no idea what people think of it, but they had it in a local kitchen supply store for about $50 and I fell in love with it. Really heavy and smooth. Feels great in my paws.
