Love the beautiful photos complete...Hi Bear Friend-<br />Love the beautiful photos complete with detailed descriptions! I really felt like I was there with you. And again I say (as with the last post with photos) I really wish I could travel so as to visit these beautiful places you show us.Perhaps some day I will.:-)<br /><br />I have never heard of Gari, but your comments made me think of something I just read in my current book of choice about the Blue Zones, parts of the world where the life expectancy is much higher than average. And in Japan some of the foods they ate as part of their traditional diet were described as being "an acquired" taste. <br /><br />Which really, when you think about it, almost everything we eat, no matter where we are or what it is would qualify as such, don't you think??<br /><br />Thanks for another great post and I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!<br />Hugs-<br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09579814438118079024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646959081210247524.post-3315590586917866002010-02-17T04:26:14.593-08:002010-02-17T04:26:14.593-08:00Those are wonderful pictures.

Its wonderful how such buildings were made with less technology.<br />The design on the glass looks beautiful.<br /><br />I guess, Bear should be happy that there is somebody caring so much for him. All I got on my Birthday from my brother was a bent greeting card which he had given me the previous year...<br /><br />Have a great day!:)Mr. Stupidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260596689348157568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646959081210247524.post-17973842961640117292010-02-16T23:33:02.430-08:002010-02-16T23:33:02.430-08:00That's lovely pub you go to.It would be a sin ...That's lovely pub you go to.It would be a sin to get drunk in there. Somehow the surroundings wouldn't allow it. The Bear sounds like just a grouchy old man who likes to complain about things and will find any excuse to. He's not exactly spilling over with happiness, is he? He should be a little more appreciative of the woman in his life. Especially of you!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646959081210247524.post-80425367438968873682010-02-16T21:55:46.282-08:002010-02-16T21:55:46.282-08:00may be you did not like the Gari due to new taste ...may be you did not like the Gari due to new taste of it ,i am not surprised with bear 's unhappiness about frame men are mostly like him,they try very less to understand their woman 'especially when she is their wife ,you shot pub beautifully ,take carebailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498012175058870980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646959081210247524.post-60851346052313456842010-02-16T18:53:05.161-08:002010-02-16T18:53:05.161-08:00That pub is beautiful.

My favourite is in Cardiff, it used to be a theatre and you can still really see it!<br />Asian food markets are great fun I think - but I always end up buying things based on the interesting label (which I can't actually read) and then tearing my hair out trying to work out what to do with them - then shoving them on the top shelf of a cupboard and forgetting them for 3 or 4 years! Sounds like a good plan for the gari from what you've said... did you have any flavourings added to it or were you trying it plain? At least you got your ground rice in the end!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048579622077037452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646959081210247524.post-66074796144740312122010-02-16T01:49:26.789-08:002010-02-16T01:49:26.789-08:00I panic when I go into an Asian food shop and I...I panic when I go into an Asian food shop and I'm confronted with all these wonderful (but completely new to me) items of food... I wish I could just throw caution to the wind and experiment, but I struggle to cook the basics, let alone exotic stuff!Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237128259799260713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646959081210247524.post-2152345103358699652010-02-15T17:52:12.246-08:002010-02-15T17:52:12.246-08:00very neat photos :-) i can understand the bear be...very neat photos :-) i can understand the bear being upset about the frame - its just a guy thing. he'd have probably been happier if she'd bought him beer and pizza ;-) that first cereal sounds yucky!! glad you got your regular stuff.

The buildings are so old and so interesting, and I love the details like the carvings and the angels. Nothing like this in NZ of course! Hardly anything over 150 years old here. And the church! I would love to visit it. I've never heard of a chapel being converted to a pub before. Intriguing!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974206679853189199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646959081210247524.post-21511544219868479382010-02-15T16:37:11.839-08:002010-02-15T16:37:11.839-08:00I have actually never heard of Gari!!
