Turkish Ice Cream => Dondurma (to the locals)!

Dondurma is the Turkish word for ‘freezing' and it's much like what we in the west know as ice cream but it is also somewhat malleable, because an aromatic resin, mastic, is included in the concoction. And, in addition, salep (powered orchid bulb) is added. However, I don't know whether or not if that is what prevents the dondurma from freezing solid.

 Dondurma  -> tricksters

I just watched a few videos... apparently they way its sold is as important as its delicious flavor

And...I think someone's going to try and open a turkish ice cream shop here in MTL for this summer!!

tricksters -> mathematics

I learned some tricks in topology lessons at university, like at the same moment grapping one end of a belt with your left hand, the other with your right hand and doing a knot in the belt without releasing the grip of either hand.

The professor was on frontpage of a economy magazine. He said that being a math prof was only his hobby, being a magician at a casino was his real money.

trickster way, cheating

mathematicians use topology and transform a knot in their arms into a knot in the belt:

weather -> spider

If a spider is working on its net outdoors you can bet it stays sunny and dry.

If the spider leaves the mid of the net and no prey it will rain,

if a spider does big nets exspect cold days...

 

The twins earn some pocket money by reporting when certain birds are first seen, leave, certain plants start to blow, and spiders ,,,

The natural institute for weather research pays for the reports.

Animal and plant reports for weather forecast institute reach as way back as my grandpa. They preferred certain fixed spots in an area which wouldn't change too quickly for long time statistics. All our kids did it, but the twins are now in a fitting age to earn some pocket money with it. In a 120 people village babysitting and graw mewing is not really a way to earn lot of money.

 

Webbery -> wood wide web

Around 15years at a heavy storm one of our apple trees was damaged. It was the only one with a certain very old sort of apples which couldn't be replaced easily. So we rescued it by smearing clay on the splintered trunk, wrapped linnen around it and used a strong rope to hold alltogether. Somehow the tree survived. This was when our oldest decided to study arboristic. Thought is was a short episode, being just 8, but she now did her master in it, theme was how fruit trees speak.
