Hello, feel free to share.

Reading funny signs is a fun thing.

There is nothing quite so enchanting, in this state (Michigan) which geologists tell us was carved by retreating, melting glaciers at the end of the last ice age, than to go into the woods, along the Lake Michigan shoreline, find a good lot of these, morel mushrooms, take them home, and pan fry them in a bit of red wine ...

I like memes. I rarely get the time to search for them though.

I like cats too. A lot actually.

I like playing and praying and meditating.

Serveto that sounds heavenly, hope to visit Michigan after Trump is gone.find me some of 'em morel mushrooms.
I make button mushroom samosas and no one likes them except me.
G-I.F you are a cool cat

I miss Ramadhan at KL, but I like my mosque here....
Iftar is the meal wherein you break your fast.

In Iowa they bread and fry them and I had no idea I grew up eating a true delicacy!

 

[DesertRose]

That sounds really good, I might start posting some recipes in the next few days,..... if anyone wants to join in.
Really interested in smoothies.
I like mint, lemon combination.

I think that's how my gf does them as well: dip them in egg yolk, lightly breaded with crumbs, and then, with a combination of spices and herbs, pan sear them in just a bit of red wine, for flavor, but at high heat so that the alcohol burns off (after all, wouldn't want to get drunk on (legal) shrooms). You are correct: they are a delicacy, and, to me, are as much fun to find as they are tasty to eat. I hope you find some down there in Iowa, if that is where you presently are, but be careful, as you know, because there are some deadly "false" morels.

I've never hunted them but that is good to know!!

 

[DesertRose]

I would like to go there....
preferably with some of you here.

Interesting fact, back in the day each family in different cultures would make their own bukhoor.

Love incense. Creates a magical atmosphere in any home, can't compare it to those chemical 'refreshers' that are everywhere in stores now.

My favorites are sandalwood, patchouli and rose.

 

[LadyNocturna33]

I like so many things but I'll give a short list a shot.

-I like researching obscure things that are (barely) legal like info on North Korea and almost everything the Govt doesn't like
-I like to dance the night away in illegal Gothic raves and such
-I like Italian liquor, pizza, ice cream, ravioli, architecture etc.. I like Italy. Who doesn't?

 

[DesertRose]

Thanks for being here @LadyNocturna33
I love your list and so cool that you like Anthony Bourdain what a wonderful thing he does explore food and travel!Nice job!
I have only been to Rome and would love to see places like Tuscany.
Thanks for the video on Italy!
....obscure interests are the best .....

I keep a prayer journal where I write all my prayers and thoughts. I try to write in it every week and document what I'm thankful for and what I hope to achieve with my small family.
