... Thirsty for knowledge, that is!
Some links from around the interwebs for your reading pleasure -
Curious about what "eating antipodean" means? Check out these culinary adventures trying dishes from the other side of the globe (including my attempts at making Ecuadorian food in Bangkok!) in "Around the World in 18 Plates".
With temperatures soaring these last couple weeks, I haven't had much energy to cook or eat elaborately but this muhammara (walnut and red pepper spread) recipe looks easy enough to attempt for a light dinner with a glass of nice, crisp rose.
The BBC's Your Life on Earth
will tell you how the world has changed since you were born. Since I
was born 28 years ago, over 2.2 billion people have joined this planet,
the number of endangered plant species has doubled and sea levels have
risen eight cm. It's not all dire straights though! Apparently all
sorts of creatures like the Siamese crocodile and the black rhino were
rediscovered and saved from extinction and carbon intensity has
decreased by 13%.
It turns out that being boring may be the way to go when it comes to climate change documentaries.
If you're stuck in the Big Mango this weekend, but want a change of scenery, head to the BACC and check out the Pakbara Paradiso exhibit of stunning photos highlighting the way of life under threat by the construction of the Pak Bara deep sea port. Featuring talks, performance art and music from this Friday - Sunday only.
All for now. Stay (knowledge) thirsty, my friends!
