“Really? White people don’t usually order that…” I’ve heard this a lot in restaurants. I’ve been told I have an Asian mouth. I crave spice and bright flavours in complex layers. I hate bland food and my idea of comfort food is bánh hòi, yam som o or xnipec. But I grew up in Scotland and don’t have a Vietnamese, Thai or Mexican grandmother to teach me to cook. What to do? This blog recounts my attempts to learn about the cuisines that inspire me.

Hi,
I’d like to invite you to participate in my research: “What Do Bloggers Want to Preserve? Defining the ‘Essence’ of User-Generated Content for Preservation.” This study will gain an understanding of how bloggers value their blogs and what elements bloggers think are important for preservation.
You are being asked to participate because your blog posts are tagged as being related to the theme of travel in one of the blog-hosting services and because your blog is not hosted by any commercial agency. Your participation is completely voluntary.
The survey is NOW OPEN and will remain open until midnight (EDT) 20 April 2011. If you are interested and would like to part in take the survey, please visit this URL: http://bloggersurvey.web.unc.edu/
Thank you in advance for considering participation in my study, and please
feel free to pass along this survey to others who might be interested!

Hmm, it’s been working for other people recently, so I’m not sure. I’ll have a look on the WordPress help site but you might want to look there also, since you will have more info about your system and what happens exactly. Sorry you’re having trouble! And thanks for subscribing.

Here’s advice from WP: Could you make sure they clicked a link that they received email from us?
They may want to copy & paste the address to their browser address bar, because sometimes links can get garbled by email clients.
If nothing works, please have them contact us or send us the email addresses of the subscribers who are having issues.

I’m happy to pass on yr email but will wait for your permission…

Hi we met in the Chilli shop Brighton some time ago.

Also my wife Jenny has just published ‘Forget Chow Mein and Chop Suey -Sichuan Cooking’ by Jenny Song, I would like to send you a pdf copy to review if you are interested. Take care John
