Looks delish. Had a Peruvian chef once make me a super creamy quinoa in risotto style. This was about 15 years ago and he was marveling at Americans loving quinoa - poor food

I’ve just learned that when a glacier scrapes away at land below it, it creates what’s called rock flour, and now I'm hungry also, rock flour is why glacial lakes are so ridiculously blue! 🧪

It knows where it begins and ends though, where it exists in space. It know it is one thing and everything out slide of it is another thing or other things. So doesn’t that constitute self representation?

I don't get how age is such an issue. desire for new blood? more attractive/entertaining/exciting? or do they actually think he can't do the work? and what does not doing the work mean in practice? obviously we humans aren't rational, but there must still be reasons underlying those who say "age
