Sweltering January sets heat records

Melbourne has had its second driest January on record, followed closely by Adelaide and Sydney.

[...]

A mere one millimetre of rain fell in both Melbourne and Adelaide during January.

One millimetre.

i am really hungry, that pigeon is sounding more and more delicious. switzerland is after all ridiculously clean, i bet the pigeons are too!

Actually I think that was in Mexico City Guadalajara is nice though, it's the second biggest city, and the architecture there is beautiful.

Check out the cathedral:


I bet it costs a fortune to get married in there. Oh, and you probably have to be Catholic.

Holy shit that is amazing. And yeah, you'd probably have to be the Pope to get married there... except he can't, haha.

I only know that from Silence of the Lambs quotes.

I'm reading the book right now. I was heartbroken to find that chianti is not in the original quote

The book:

"A census taker tried to quantify me once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a big Amarone."

The movie:

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."

Psh, Medieval Popes weren't so concerned with such trifling technicalities!

Aw. In this case, I like the movie quote better.

Maybe that's why they built it.

Wood pigeons in beer sounds interesting...

WHAT THE FUCK.

Oh man. The picture just makes it even more upsetting.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Me too. But so far, as a whole, the movie was remarkably accurate to the book. Movies so rarely are, so when you come across an example (and in my case, I've usually seen the movie first), it stands out. Rosemary's Baby is another example.

Haven't seen that one... but yeah, it's rare for a film to be so faithful to the book.

 

[Alisaura]

yeah but this is probably a city pigeon, not a wood pigeon

How different can they taste....?

I've had chicken in mole sauce (pronounced mole-lay), which is a Mexican sauce made from chocolate and chili peppers, among other stuff. It was quite... interesting.

Wasting port on pigeons, though?

Meanwhile, I have pizza!

Sounds interesting... I think my friend was telling me about that when I visited her (in Chicago) a while back.
