    When Nagi from Recipetin eats was taking inspiration for her cookbook people were requesting things like more salads and airfryer recipes which is really not her thing. I wrote sesame prawn toast. Imagine my surprise when it made it into the book. So my question for the day is:

    What is something that you’ve contributed to that has also benefited others? Big or small. It doesn’t matter.

      In the 80s and 90s I used to help organise and run Confests.

            What was the smell like? A mixture of BO and incense or something else?

              like a sweet cigar

              oh, you mean the festival?

              It was outdoors, so just the smell of gum trees and heat

              the food avenues would always smell of delicious Indian street food

              Pit toilets are pit toilets. You cope. Otherwise it mostly smells like dust and campfire.

            I’d never heard of it either, but I kinda want to go to one now. I’m not very hipster, but it still sounds fun

              I’m not even remotely hipster and had fun there. Be prepared for plenty of crunchy type persons though, many of them naked.

        Noice

        I enquired about a brand new book at the library and the dude at the desk informed me they did not have it but has now added it to the booklist for a delivery from the supplier.
