  1. Turkish Delight and pets should be treated the same: not just for Christmas!

  2. "Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love."
    Turkish proverb

    I believe in sensual tech where connection feels like consent.
    Like curiosity. Like warmth. Like being seen.

    Have you felt this too? The difference between being visible and being truly seen.

    Backstory: went to Purdy’s Chocolate and found out they no longer carry Turkish Delight.
    Heartbroken. That’s my fave!. :(

    Turkish Delight reminds me of sensual systems:
    Structure that holds softness.
    Softness that invites surprise.
    Surprise that lingers, sweet and slow.
    Tech can feel like that too when it’s built with care.

  3. The #Trump administration tried to fix the #US #EggShortage brought about by the ongoing bird flu with imports of #Turkish eggs.

    The CPI egg index jumped by 5.9 percent from February and was up 60.4 percent compared to March 2024, and the average price for a dozen grade A large eggs climbed 5.6 percent to a record $6.23. #USPol #auspol #Easter #TurkishDelight 🤤

    #TrumpLies & always will, saying he fixed the high price of eggs in the #US

  4. I think I just committed a food crime - I ate pineapple, cheese and Harrods lemon Turkish delight on a stick. Should I hand myself in, or not? 🤔

  5. CW: Silly personal anecdote, Winter Solstice, paganism, ex-Christian, witchy things, veganism, candy

    My #WinterSolstice treat for myself this year is some #vegan #TurkishDelight.

    Like many kids raised in conservative Christian communities who read #TheChroniclesOfNarnia by #CSLewis, I was fascinated by the idea of a candy so good that Edmund would sell out his siblings for it. And since I have a penchant for gummies, when I finally tried it, I thought it was fantastic and that Edmund maybe had a point.

    The deep irony there is that now, as a #Slavic #pagan, my patron goddess is #Morena, the goddess of winter and death and basically the White Witch. So maybe I was drawn toward #witchcraft earlier than I thought? 😆

    Anyway, this is just a little reminder to all the other folks in the northern hemisphere to do something sweet for yourself this Winter Solstice!

    Happy Solstice!

  6. >10 years ago, I bought a DVD set covering the Dutch films of #PaulVerhoeven . In a thriller phase, and it was the only way to acquire #TheFourthMan which I enjoyed immensely. Didn't watch any of the other films.

    Now finally watched #TurkishDelight . Amazing film, strong themes, beautifully shot, disturbing and heartwarming, tragic and funny at the same time. My only excuse for waiting this long is that there are too many movies in the world.

  7. #RutgerHauer looking hot in #TurkishDelight (1973) the movie of #JanWolkers 1963 novel. Will have to track the movie down because I think I remember the book being really good.

  8. @erin

    Unfortunately, a bag of chips is probably about the worst snack to try to travel halfway across the world with. "Here's a great bag of ... potato dust."

    I forgot a couple of other things I sent to a fellow in Europe that were distinctly Canadian. "Big Turk" bars, and apparently Aero as well!

  9. Why Turkish Delight in the Narnia stories?

    I recently wondered if the luscious descriptions of food in the Narnia stories were influenced by the scarcity of food during wartime rationing
