Hello, fellow RFers!
Some of you may know I'm now studying music at the New Zealand School of Music.
One of the assignments I need to do for a musicology paper, coming up due in a few weeks, involves listener's reactions to a recorded piece, so I was hoping some of you might be able to help me...
Some time ago in chat we were discussing food, and some requests were made to share a few recipes of mine, so here's to @Sakeenah @Mandi @Shadow Wolf
Pepernoten
For this recipe you'll need to make a spice mix called Speculaas. Used in several different Dutch baking recipes, and so I'll post...
So I work with a lot of produce, and I've had a few people from the Jewish community approach and ask for particular foods containing lots of seeds for a holiday coming soon. I was considering making it a selling point "pomegranates! Perfect for xxxxxxxxx" but I've forgotten the name of the...
So we recently had a mid-winter Christmas party, for which I made a traditional Dutch Christmas treat, add I thought I'd share the recipe with all of you. They're very moreish, and disappear very, very quickly. They're dead easy to make, I'll leave it to you to do the conversions:

Wow, what a series of dreams I've had. I'm posting here to get a mystic perspective on it, though I already do have my own interpretations.
Dream 1, of a few nights ago. I'm walking the narrow streets of a city in the mountains, in the style of LOTR-type fantasy. We are preparing for an...
There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh-baked bread. I've been baking bread every 2 days at home since the start of this year, and I've just done my first sour dough batch. It's a lot of fun, and so in this thread - as promised, Alceste - I'll do a how-to complete with pictures. Just a...
This is how I feel at times, when people insist you're wrong because a word or phrase you're using isn't quite the right one, even though it's clear you're perfectly understandable...
Party at this guys house!

A little disappointed in the lack of females taking part. Otherwise, great prank!
This thread is for those of us looking for new authors, new material, and aren't sure where to go next. So provide a suggestion for the previous poster, and a new request:
If I like Robin Hobb, you'd suggest....
I played my first gig yesterday. Got up early, packed my electronic piano in a friends car and drove down to set up in a nice quiet coffee bar, and played for 5 hours! With a couple of breaks, of course. I was a but nervous to begin with - first time I've played music in public since high school...
I love books. Nowadays I'm rarely not reading. I particularly like fantast novels, and I recently read a trilogy that got me thinking. Soldier Son, by Robin Hobb. Anyone else I talk to tells me, if they've read it of course, that it's their least favourite of her books. I, on the other hand...
New Zealand legalises same-sex marriage
Gay marriage is a-ok! We did already have civil unions which legally gave same-sex couples equal rights as hetero couples, only now you can choose to get married.
Civil unions are still available to either homo- or hetero- couples if marriage isn't...
How many people here are on G+?
I'm just kind of curious, I was thinking maybe there could be a G+ Community for RF. If there are enough people, maybe this is a possibility? Hangouts could be a lot of fun!
Not sure if any of you have seen this. This is the best tribute to Johnny Cash I have ever seen. The video used has a reduced framerate, and each frame is re-drawn and submitted by people all over the world. The result is an amazing video of Johnny Cash as envisioned by thousands.
THE JOHNNY...
