Wilfrid Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Blunt knives are a menace. Also a menace is a knife you use for the same job every day, then you sharpen it but handle it the same as if it wasn’t sharpened. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 On 6/18/2022 at 1:32 PM, StephanieL said: 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? Hmm. They'd have to use a concentrate or maybe an artificial flavor base to get to hallucinogenic levels. Does N know what an ocular migraine looks like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does N know what an ocular migraine looks like? Someone else asked her that, and yes she does. She also gets a mild euphoric feeling after the wavy lines go away.
