    Alan Moore é o nosso Sábio da Montanha, sua voz barítona é um conforto para meus ouvidos. Quando eu "sair" deste mundo, farei um agradecimento à Existência por ter vivido na mesma época que Carlos Castañeda, Caetano Veloso, Paulo Leminski e Alan Moore. Agradeço à todos por dignificar o que seria uma existência medíocre, mas eles elevaram a minha alma.

    10:20 👈(4-8-8) Question: There's nothing bad for your body bio-chemically about holding your breath in, like in 4-8-8 breathing, right? I'm asking because in buteyko they always have you breathe out before holding the breath. So I'd assumed it was for some particular reason....but I find holding my breath in to feel nice and relaxing, just as I do holding it out.... Thanks

    Nice to know, though I'm a teetotaler. As different types and classes of wines have developed over hundreds of years as a matter of culture and preferences, wouldn't you say the choice of which wine goes with which food is also similarly defined?

    Wine choice with dishes can also be a question of the flavour you are looking for. Traditionally fois gras is eaten with a sweeter Sauternes - but here in the Lot we prefer a more tannic Lotois; the Sauternes tends to highlight the more acidic flavours of the fois gras while a Lot accentuates the sweeter side of the fois…

    I'm a saddo that used to scour the wine aisle in my local supermarket to find a match for the crisps* I was buying (*potato chips for our US viewers). I was particularly fond of Walkers Thai sweet chili crisps and found that an Alsace Gewürztraminer was a perfect match. I also found that no wine goes well with pickled onion flavoured Monster Munch, best to stick to beer.
