    Sure, particularly a Gyromitra esculenta sauce with meat or salmon even. And prepared properly, as it's extremely poisonous. Boletus edulis (porcini) too. Both from the wild, not shops, mind you.

    van Eyck?

    My poor lad... I had no idea... haha we have some damn fine Mexican restaurants down here in the sun!

    Without a recipe? I don't believe I ever have, and it probably would not be successful.

    The word 'hella'?

    Oh, definitely the word 'hella' - it's a word for a kitchen stove in Finnish
    Not that keen on the English word, but it has its place in the vernacular.

    The word 'anfractuous'?

    Ha! I know that word! But only because Proust (that is, the translators) has used it twice so far. Yes, I like it.

    The word perlocutionary?

    E: Not a fan of doing quotation mark gestures. One can suggest that with alteration of tone, or using words.

    Aye, and I've seen it before, and the roots are familiar. Had to check the meaning, though.

    The word timesome? (yes, it is a word)

    That's why it's so descriptive (To strut ostentatiously, parade)

    Peoplewatching?
    The Desmond Morris book on bodylanguage? Looks interesting. A nice word too.

    Trainspotting?

    The movie isn't that boring, though.

    12 hours is a bit much, 10 hours is probably the longest I might sleep if I was really sleep deprived. But that's an age thing, in my late teens I recall sleeping for 13 hours once. But again, this is personal, and depends on how much of your sleep is deep sleep. I'm usually good if I get 7 hours.
