MSG got a bad rep it didn't deserve. Table salt on the other hand ... I've had to wean myself off NaCl because it's bad for blood pressure. MSG makes food delicious and causes no harm. Umami mmm.

I'll add in her something I learned recently - whisky can become "corked", ie if the stopper is made of cork, it can go bad and ruin the drink's flavour. I thought this was just a wine thing, but apparently it can happen with whisky too.

I'm happy just to know they're there, living their lives.

I saw takahē in captivity too, in Zealandia. You can sort of see why they almost went extinct - their big defence move is to sit reeeeally still. Big silly chooks.

Ive travelled a lot, and I've never been yelled at in any other airport. In other international hub airports you follow "transit" signs to get to the main waiting area, with shops, cafes, bars etc.

This is it. Yes, spinning HDDs may be cheaper, but replacing mine with an SSD made my PC faster and quieter, especially on boot.

"You absolute melt" is my favourite. Uttered by a GBBO baker about himself in the latest episode.

TIL, that is so interesting! I should start selling my blackcurrant jam in the States, it's delicious.
