Love it! So crazy that sometimes the actual food is lost amongst the wordy descriptions of the food and we can go home hungry & disappointed. A great life observation.

It’s true! Thanks, Joyce!

Absolutely stellar story, 10/10, no notes.

Here's to living life the way it's constructed the first time, and not the thrice (de+con)structed way that seems to be the expectation we put on ourselves and others in the modern age.

Ok, so maybe one note 😅

Oh thanks, Vic! Love this note. I wholeheartedly agree regards all the constructions - no notes from me in return!

Never fill up on 3D projection bread. Maybe that's the point of it!

I didn't clock that, but yes, a commentary on bread perhaps.

I remember the first time I had deconstructed carrots cake. It was quite a surprising experience. Before that I had only constructed carrot cake and nothing more.

Thanks for the reminder, and thanks for sharing your goofy ideas with us.

Oh boy that would have been interesting. Would love to see what that looks like!

A sheep station sounds exciting! I read Thorn birds and really enjoyed the description of life on one, it seems like another world. I am a city person and I am always impressed by more traditional ways of life.

I know what you mean, Lisa. That life feels so foreign to me so I'm looking forward to seeing it up close, and then returning to my comfortable semi-city life! I haven't heard of Thorn Birds either, I'll have to look it up.
