How a post on bangus sisig can morph into the olfactory reactions to a hairy armpit always amazes me… :)

Yes Footloose…I don’t know if nice for the ancient Romans meant not smelling of anything but themselves. …..and for the French and most Europeans…. au naturel.

@Connie C, How about just taking it from the ancient Romans who considered women smelled nice when they did not smell of anything. Mulier bene olet dum nihil olet.

Footloose: Ahh cologne! I have been looking for body scents/fresheners especially in this hot humid tropical weather. Scents are such a personal thing. Wonder if R&G Farina might be the scent for me. I have tried and tried citrusy and mild floral ones and they simply don’t work with my body oils regardless of price.

I just hope I won’t smell “exactly like sides to a Mexican dish, beans, sour cream, lettuce, cilantro, and lots of lime” as somebody commented on trying the same product:)

Footloose, FABULOUS, not only did I not know why my cologne was called cologne, but now I have a really informed answer as to why I have always preferred Earl Grey Tea over many others. If only I had spent a decade in England in my early years so that I could have acquired they phenomenal use of vocabulary and the accent. I always wanted the accent. Now, for a trip to Southern Italy…

You’re a busy man, MM. Just listen to the final episode, it’s all about bergamot as in Earl Grey. Here is the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0418wy7

Connie C, on the one hand, I could turn off the auto-spellcheck, on the other hand leave it on and get some weird corrections (particularly for Filipino words)… just need to have a sharper eye for edits… Footloose, I have to watch those episodes…

Sounds delicious, looks beautiful and above all, mandates to somebody else the pesky duty of gleaning the fine fish bones out of the way. I won’t differ with you in leaving out the mayonnaise or coddled egg. Probably a bad habit anyway, similar to Americans’ penchant for dribbling ranch dressing on everything.

@Connie C, just finished listening to the last episode. Finally answered a persistent question about my first cologne (right after Old Spice), Roger et Galet’s Farina.

A fine recipe to greet me this morning: ” a combination of “chills”,( if you didn”t mean “kilig”, might as well! :) onions, ginger, garlic, etc”.
