I know. I get it. As well as the Elle Macpherson reference. Meanwhile, I was taking advantage of a Whole Foods $12.99 special on black cod, which has nothing to do with regular Atlantic cod, but can be quite magical once subject to Nobu Matsuhisa’s miso marinade and cooking over high heat. I also made an entirely vegan dish of zucchini and scallions, adorned with teriyaki and sesame seeds. As well as some sushi rice. A full evening!
That sounds fantastic and you have inspired me - Whole Foods pilgrimage tomorrow. With three masks on. LOL.

Back to your polar bear then and a toast to the Forum. Thanks for the humor (risqué at times), horror (of the political variety), and human interaction (at the man-machine interface - man still wins, just not at Go) this year!

Aspic looks pretty much like Холодець - a renown traditional Ukrainian cuisine! ;-) Devotely prepared by both my far- and mormor, with meat and fish+veggies, respectively. Eaten with vinegar - yickes! I remember staring at the jellies in terror and there was no force on Earth to make me to eat them (which meant breaking the tradition of tasting all 12 dishes).
Another shared tradition is ice baths - but unlike Vikings, we do this for epiphany (the ice hole is cut in the shape of a cross):

You could find Delfiakake on the list of traditional Ukrainian and Polish sweets only in a find-the-odd-one puzzle. I tasted it once or twice when I was very little - they were popular in times of the economic crisis (perhaps the ingredients were among the few provided products).

Det morsomme med norsk supermarket brod er at det er nummerert, fra 1 til 9 eller noe, i rekkefølge etter økende kvalitet. Jeg liker 4 best :-)
That looks bracing!

For leptoq's benefit, as this picture will drive him wild : D - looks like it was taken in January 2018 and is on a Ukrainian TV website:

Here's the URL - not sure who the model is, but go get 'em boys!

Looks like she might topple over at any moment. But she would definitely float.(Specific gravity of 0.97.)

I don't recognise the lady, but it's likely that she's got two children, two diplomas and is a successful businesswoman. She's also probably around 50 judging from the fat distribution. The proportionate limbs suggests northern parts.

I'd say that was a rather modest snapshot of the Jordan's day ;-) This is a more common sight:

Reminds me of a favorite story from childhood:

My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world - a Russian folktale

Probably some children and maybe even some grandchildren love that sturdy woman in the cold river!

Just go there any year in the season. I would say it's Ukrainian average (I lowered it, that's why they kicked me out).
Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out. They leave the West behind.

You and your Gen Y conspirator tagoma  seem to agree on "No Fat Chicks" but I look at the soul. 

I'll take a kind, thick boned, and hearty soul over whinging and whining osteoporosis any day.  

And also - Never trust anyone under 40. : D
No intention to paunch the woman's weight. I rather joked about the wet T-shirt competition which she unwittingly entered in her nicely embroidered traditional sorotschka.

Don't thrust anyone, especially into cold water!

As the BBC would say, strong language ...
It would be a great poem at a wedding. Get an Australian to recite.
The judo club in TCD were fond of the Ball of Kerrymuir (the x-rated version).

There is a term in English - "roughhouse play" - which means boisterous and kind of aggressive physical play.  Think of a rugby match - that is professional roughhousing at its finest.

judo is also not bad...
