Thank you lost-child2 for taking the time yesterday to explain how the Literature Map works. You can read both of his explanations if you scroll down through yesterday’s comments.
My food quirk of the moment? Straight wasabi paste on baby carrots.
Do you know about Library Thing? (Thank you mikigarrison for pointing it out. Do any of you post to it? What do you think (here’s the SPEAK entry)?
Other deep thoughts: it possible to eat too much wasabi? Does anyone have a wasabi muffin recipe? What about wasabi/lemon/poppy seed?
Oh, man. I just realized I am also craving lox. It’s a good thing we live out in the middle of nowhere.
savoury wasabi muffins
would wasabi-lemon-poppyseed not clash? do try it and let us know!
I use Library Thing. It’s kind of nifty how you can make it show random books on your web site. See my site for an exampe – http://www.sarazarr.com and then scroll down on the right…
P.S.! I just noticed that bravo is for me – thank you! I’m assuming it’s for the Patrick Moore interview and not kudos for cleaning my sink with a toothbrush. 🙂 (Though I am rather proud of that, too.)
Library Thing is a rocking thing. I haven’t used mine much in the last few months, but I love being able to show off what books I own.
Tim’s Cascade Potato Chips makes wasabi chips that i am quite fond of. I’m not sure you can get them on the east coast, though…
Yeah, I like the little librarything gadgets — I also love how it will show you other people who have libraries similar to yours. The first time I clicked it, one of the first people on the list happened to be an old friend I hadn’t talked to in many years. Weird!

I discovered LibraryThing the weekend I was cramming for two of my lit class exams. I credit it for saving my brain from turning to postmodern mush.
have you had wasabi peas? I love them! Favorite snack!
And how about cucumbers with Frank’s Hot Sauce (buffalo sauce?). Mmmm!
I’m going to try your wasabi/carrot combo! (No baby carrots here in Shanghai)
must try this!
thanks for sharing!
i LOVE wasabi peas – we can get them at Wegman’s.
I’l have to try the cucumber suggestion!
Steve freaked out when he saw the tube of wasabi in the fridge. That was a good first impression for him.

well i guess i know now why your daughter is such a freak 🙂
we prefer the expression “adventuresome.”
that’s fair. i one watched my friend jonah drink a pint glass containing milk, sprite, vanilla ice cream, rice pilaf, broccoli, haddock and a generous dusting of pepper.
to this day he swears that it was the broccoli alone that made him sick.
and this conversation is going to generate such amusing ads in gmail 🙂
hope it is a marvelous weekend for you! 🙂
Try mixing wasabi into mashed potatoes–zing!

That my friend, is hard core.
I, too love wasabi…but not quite that much.
Every have wasabi peas? Delicious crunchy deep fried treat!
