Those salmon and egg rolls look delicious! I'm also a 10-minute egg boiler — even if now the chefs are saying we need to spend 32 minutes on an egg (!!): https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/science/boiled-egg-science-recipe.html

What an adventure -- and with a recipe to boot! I'm heading for a long plane flight next week and will be bringing your smoked salmon and egg sandwiches. Thank you.

You're so welcome! Goodness knows we all need that kind of support from time to time. It's great to see how your project is developing since those first seeds sown in 'Brainstorm Road.' Keep at it!

I love how you have woven these stories and colours together. By the time you reached the peak, I felt hungry and chilled myself. Thank you for the video of the breathtaking vista you saw. How exhilarating. February begins and new opportunities abound. I hope you can take more of these adventures. Be well.
