This steamed pudding (was more like a cake) that my Swedish grandmother would make. The sauce that one spooned over it had a very unusual and strong flavor that I can not describe or compare to anything. It would trigger a flood of pleasant memories.
My guess would be that at least some of the servants thought it ridiculous. Human nature has not changed since ancient Greece and Rome.
Have a nice omelet. With more coffee, of course.😅
🥰I love peop,e who dress up and photograph their cats and parrots.
1493 🙄
1776 Rhode Island has always been its own little quirky place.
Sounds like a candidate for the worst opening of a story. In America, there used to be such a prize. I think it may have been called, "It was a dark and stormy night."
🤔 I wonder if any contemporary folks thought it looked ridiculous.
"Hibiscus Gate" sounds very poetic in English.
I like those who garner a passion for a particular flower!💚🧡💚

In the Early 1980's, my brother worked as an auto mechanic at Parrish Caine in Wilmington, North Carolina. The owner would buy abandoned cars at auctions in South Carolina, and bring them to the shop to fix them for resale.
One such car had several trays of Kodachrome slides
in its trunk. (1/2)

The #songoftheday is "GOLD" by the Prince.
🎵There's a mountain and it's mighty high
You cannot see the top, unless you fly
And there's a molehill, of proven ground
Ain't nowhere to go if you hang around🎶

The #songoftheday is 'Every Grain of Sand' by Bob Dylan.
🎵I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there,
other times it's only me.🎵

Vireyas are a subgenus of rhododendron, and originate from SE Asia to Australia. They are epiphytes, meaning they grow on other plants in the rainforest with their roots growing on the bark. 2/end
