Of course the advances in virtual reality already mean that immersive, and even textural, 3D experiences aren't far away. I'm just hoping there'll be a backlash and people will go back to connecting directly with what they do.<br /><br />Great post :o)Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-57687817903967890402015-02-17T12:29:45.472+00:002015-02-17T12:29:45.472+00:00Oooh those buns sound wonderful.....Oooh those buns sound wonderful.....sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-81466671737904817882015-02-17T12:29:03.592+00:002015-02-17T12:29:03.592+00:00Thank you for the book recommendation I think I ha...Thank you for the book recommendation I think I have something similar written by an English author, Sacred Celebrations :)sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-18805394236853318832015-02-17T12:23:48.437+00:002015-02-17T12:23:48.437+00:00We didn't make those biscuits we used a tried ...We didn't make those biscuits we used a tried and tested biscuit recipe for Valentines.

It was centered on children and toffee. If there was fresh snow outside (being Canada there often was on Nov 25th) the hot toffee was poured on the snow to cool. Children would then cover their hands with butter (so the toffee would not stick to them) and would pull long strands which would be cut candy size with scissors and wrapped in waxed paper. If it was a success, the toffee was soft otherwise it was a hard candy. rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-16209026592520402062015-02-13T16:56:16.636+00:002015-02-13T16:56:16.636+00:00Mmm, that bread looks tasty!

While it's not associated with a holiday, per se (though you could do it on May 5 for Cinco de Mayo), we're having a mid-winter blues fiesta with tamales, Mexican beans and red tomato rice next weekend (was supposed to be this weekend, but big blizzard coming), and soon (bumped to another date by the fiesta), we'll be celebrating Chinese New Year with eggrolls, noodles, fortune cookies, and other Asian dishes.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748454816480995214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-48370592598298620662015-02-13T13:38:14.293+00:002015-02-13T13:38:14.293+00:00How interesting - I will look forward to reading y...How interesting - I will look forward to reading your thoughts on your latest read!

I think the point about texture is spot on, it's true for food but also things like books, I love Persephone books both for the stories and they just feel nice to read!Carie @ Space for the Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060566680311122115noreply@blogger.com
