https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_2
Riddle Sideways: did not know that
Riddle Sideways: the historic events and births
Riddle Sideways: cool
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlemas
Eden Haiku: Jut a tradition I guess. 40 days after Christmas's eve and maybe 40 days before Easter...We used to fast before Easter (no candies, ni sugar is what fasting was for us kids)
Riddle Sideways: no sugar, oh dear
Eden Haiku: Reading (in French) it's right in the middle of the fasting. Like a pause :)
Bleu Oleander: hard to find things without sugar these days
--BELL--
Eden Haiku: yep
Bleu Oleander: sugar goes by many names
Eden Haiku: In India they had hindu fasting days too
Eden Haiku: They were my favorites: the food was so good! With raisins and nuts. Never understood why they called that food "fasting food"
Riddle Sideways: and why do fast days seem to go by so slow?
Eden Haiku: Pancakes were symbolic of the return of the sun (round shapes) Ah! Wikipedia!
Riddle Sideways: and fasting foods are not fast food like from McDonalds
Bleu Oleander: amazing to think that pancakes could symbolize the sun!
Eden Haiku: I know :)
Bleu Oleander: a very creative mind thought that up ha!
Riddle Sideways: use to make pancakes as Micky or Minnie mouse heads
Eden Haiku: In times when images were rarer I guess :)
Riddle Sideways: in times before TV
Eden Haiku: Nice daddy Riddle, Did your own father created pancakes like that?
Riddle Sideways: in times when thinking, debating and making up of stories
Riddle Sideways: nope, father never cooked
Riddle Sideways: was that generation
Riddle Sideways: with separation of powers
Eden Haiku: Have early memories of my grandfather cooking sarrazin pancakes on the wooden stove.
Riddle Sideways: oooooo
Bleu Oleander: nice!
Eden Haiku: Explaining you had to wait for the little holes to appear before you turn the pancake :)
Eden Haiku: he was a hunter and did cook for himself in his hunting camp,.
Eden Haiku: I still remember this everytime I make pancakes (which is rather rare),,,,Won,t even have time today...
Riddle Sideways: and maybe explaining proper flipping technique?
Eden Haiku: Do you have your own Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: almost
Riddle Sideways: :)
Riddle Sideways: and now for something completely different
Eden Haiku: Everybody still cooking up giant ginger bread bodies for TSK?
Riddle Sideways: that too
Riddle Sideways: from yesterday's Eden session start
Riddle Sideways: Eden Haiku: I remember the days when a cardboard cat would come to these sessions. I forgot her name. She was British I think. And there was this hermit who would transform herself into a tea tray.
Riddle Sideways: maybe Bleu remembers the cardboard cat?
Eden Haiku: Oh, do you remember her name?
Riddle Sideways: not Boxy
Bleu Oleander: hmmm
Eden Haiku: She was an Asian woman living in England I think...
Bleu Oleander: don't remember
Eden Haiku: Her name is on the tip of my tongue
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: need more clues
Eden Haiku: I remember the hermit was Widget Whiteberry, the cat... Do you have memories of her Riddle?
Eden Haiku: She left suddenly.
Eden Haiku: After a retreat or something
Riddle Sideways: Gaya?

Eden Haiku: Thank you Riddle. Waving to Gaya if by chance, she reads this log!
Eden Haiku: Sessions with more than 20 avatars sometimes!
Riddle Sideways: "Eden Haiku: Sorry for the typos Widget. feeling kind of hermity still? But at least with us to share it? Widget Whiteberry: the four of us illustrate a fair range of approaches to avatars"
The parade of avatars from inventories starts
Eden Haiku: Hehe. Back then, I thought all avatars had humane forms. Was I naive!
Bleu Oleander: I've had a pretty wide range of avatars over the years!
Bleu Oleander: fun to experiment
Eden Haiku: Digged out this log to a session in a prairie of wild flowers: https://wiki.playasbeing.org/Chat_Logs/2010/01/2010.01.18_07%3a00_-_Dreaming_in_a_prairie_of_wild_flowers
