Wilfrid Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 From his SNL monologue, Benedict Cumberbatch’s mother is Wanda Ventham. Distressing too, because she was someone I…looked up to as a kid, and now she’s 86. A radiant 86 I am sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 N apparently has mild hallucinations (like seeing wavy lines) when she eats galangal. She had this reaction at Sripraphai years ago and assumed it was because the papaya salad was so hot, but I'm much more sensitive to heat than she is and didn't have that problem. Yesterday, we were at a Laotian restaurant in Alameda and she had the same reaction to this one chicken dish. The server said that it contained lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal, and we found out later that it is in fact a hallucinogen at large doses. Who knew? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
