  1. 2:41 This is "KURUMA-BU". Wheat flour gluten is rolled around a stick and baked, then another layer of gluten is rolled on top, baked, and then sliced. It is a dish that is boiled and seasoned.

  9. That poop chart is actually called the Glasgow poo scale! They use it when you have a gastrointestinal problem I’m full of useless information. No I trained to be a nurse and worked part but having lots of kiddos put an end to it. Well it didn’t really I had to make a choice between my job n vintage and nursing and you know what won!
