I live in a city with great public transport and for years Google maps was great for bus/tube times and walking routes. Now after 6 years of no probs Google maps has forgotten the bus stop right under my window and thinks I should walk up or down the road to the next stop. It has forgotten the crossings what are still there, no road works or anything, and thinks I should take 15 min detour instead of just crossing the street right then and there. It’s clearly going downhill here.

Not to worry, I’m convinced you’re a good fren everyone wants to hang out with. Goblin-ness not mandatory.

There’s also an audio file for gekkering but that’s the pronunciation for the word, not the actual example…

But do you pile and hoard stuff, do you like to sit in a mound of blankets, do you eat stuff indiscriminately? All of that matters…

I have not owned or worn sweatpants for three decades but everything else applies to me. Am I unknowingly a goblin?

Apparently you can even make meringue with it. Haven’t tried that but I often make mayonnaise with aquafaba.

Tell that to cycling phone snatchers in London

No need to apologise, we all have brain farts sometimes. And akshully, duchess potatoes are baked and so are your balls, so there’s a crossover after all. It’s all looking great!

I’m curious, where’s the crossover between duchess potato and falafel? Totally different recipes and methods

Crimped?

All over it, non native English speaker who loves chocolate

Chocolate fudge pudding pie… that’s a dessert that just keeps on giving, I’d be so over that

Depends on time and location? I think I saw an actual lemon, not a picture or flavour, in my teens? Whereas a variety of homemade pickles were just there

“Taking a tongue” means taking an enemy prisoner to interrogate about their numbers and locations.

My friend is French, his wife Portuguese, they live in England with their two children. When all together, they all speak English with each other. When the kids are with one parent, the speak that language. In the park with father, French. Baking with mother, Portuguese. Bedtime stories are in the language of the parent reading. Kids switch between languages easily and understand what to speak with whom. Effortless trilingual.

Another friend moved country with her husband and had three kids. Home language was always mother tongue, both my friends had fairly bad English. Everything outside parents is in English for the kids - media, school, anyone outside the household. Again, the switch for the kids is really easy, they are fluent and have no accent in both languages.

The temperatures are intuitive for me because Celsius is all I’ve known. The car going 60km/h or 100km/ h I know the difference and how it feels sitting in the car. The speed of wind in the forecast needs to be m/s to make any sense. Over 20 m/s I better tape the windows so that the storm won’t break them

You can make tea out of nearly any plant. They are infusions rather than true tea but raspberry leaf or sprig tea is damn tasty

Why limit yourself to only tacos? Spoon a dollop of sour cream on your chilli or any hearty soup or stew, Mix it into gratin or mac’n’cheese before baking, make a salad with fresh cucumber and tomatoes, dill and/or spring onions… The world is your pot of sour cream
