I find that listening to people from other countries have helped me reduce my food waste; I have learnt to take care of bits and pieces I always thought of as waste before. Like the leaves of radishes; An Iranian mom taught me to use these in salad, and it's really tasty, kind of peppery, bit like rocket/ruccola. I stirfry them as well. All these tasty leaves I used to throw away before... And I didn't even realise it was food waste! <br />Still, I can do more. <br />Finding out what I can do with what's left once I brewed my coffee is a challenge, when I had a garden I used it for the roses (and to scare away the neighbour cats, apparently cats don't like the smell of coffee - weird animals) but now I just bin it. I tried to mix some into my pots on the balcony but I don't have enough pots. <br /><br />Or I drink too much coffee. <br /><br />TravellingAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773269445097515875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499184.post-11501422818884285912015-08-25T21:02:15.127+02:002015-08-25T21:02:15.127+02:00Rolf, The asterisk is disappointing - I was hoping...<b>Rolf</b>, The asterisk is disappointing - I was hoping I'd correctly inferred! However, we'll have to disagree on Wright's works: only one of his fiction pieces rose above mediocre for me, and i still didn't like his flat characters, nor his odd word choice. His non-fiction was, to me, neither well-written nor well-argued. I did read his piece on the treatment of his wife, which is bullshit (and should be dealt with by his bosses, since it was at a professional event). Also, please don't use any of the various derogatory acronyms -- they're insulting (and have definitely not helped the Puppies' perception amongst neutrals like myself) and I don't want to have to google them :)<br /><br /><b>Anonymous</b>, I'd hoped that people were following George Martin's lead on the votes (in method, not content) -- read, regardless of slate, then rank. Looking at "Totaled"/"The Day the World Turned Upside Down" and Captain America/Guardians, I think that a fairly significant portion of the voters (I'm betting roughly 1000) had what I'd call a strict vote -- all non-Puppy noms, then No Award, then Puppies or No Pref. Personally, I feel that starting with this is just as bad as nominating an unread slate (though i have 0 problem with reading and feeling that the works were unworthy -- though I think most would find at least one palatable work). This is to say nothing of the Editors, several of which were deserving under most any criteria.<br /><br />The whole thing has just been a beatdown, not the discovery of good new SFF I'd hoped for.jtingermanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250183344417072340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499184.post-33097960809964923462015-08-25T18:53:52.724+02:002015-08-25T18:53:52.724+02:00(Same anon here)
I think the novella category was...(Same anon here)<br /><br />I think the novella category was very special <i>because</i> it had multiple nominations of the same person (essentially), but it's hard to be sure. <br /><br />The pattern of no preference after no award, though, is really quite remarkably strong. The novella category stands out from the others in being not quite as high, but from what I've been able to find in prior-year Hugo data, even the novella category showed a very unusually high level of "no preference" votes.<br /><br />It is by no means conclusive, but I think it's highly suggestive that prejudice played a strong role, especially when combined with the other evidence. (I was struck by your comparison of "Totaled" and "The Day the World Turned Upside Down.")<br /><br />I'm not convinced that people simply didn't read the works in question at all, though that may have happened as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499184.post-81891228422864446942015-08-25T16:15:46.518+02:002015-08-25T16:15:46.518+02:00Tastes are different.

Write is a masterful writer and a genuinely nice man (I met him for the first time in person on Friday); though not all his stuff is to my tastes I know talent when I see it. He received multiple nominations because he's been deliberately overlooked and abused by his previous publisher (Tor) for so long. He went to Castalia House BECAUSE they were not attempting to actually sell his books. His wife was yelled and sworn at during the Hugo pre-event get-together read about it at Write's blog). And, being there, I can assure you it was absolutely clear that the "asterix" was meant as an insult (the room gasped and was largely silent in a collective "WTF, did he just say what I think he said" sort of way, and in retrospect it seems likely he knew the results beforehand and wanted to rub it in. Vox had asked me to remain calm and polite no matter what happened, and I was. Had he not asked me to be, I would not have stayed quite so low-key.<br /><br />Look at the history of nominations and awards; it's turned into a CHORF playground, and the works nominated not very good. It needs to be shaken up, and return to it's roots of diversity of thought and ideas, not PC groupthink, hatred, and spite.Rolfhttp://www.thestarscameback.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499184.post-3087577438624060412015-08-25T09:36:42.419+02:002015-08-25T09:36:42.419+02:00Laura, thanks!

I took the asterisk to be making fun of the controversy, not of the nominees. I also thought the Death bit was a Pratchett nod. Of course, i was LITERALLY reading into those :) and the blog by Standlee was neutral, so I didn't get a feel for the room/presentation. <br /><br />For me, a first time voter with far too much time on my hands, I wanted to read everything, but I seriously considered only reading 1 of the Wright Novellas. I knew nothing of him at the time, but I felt that Day nominating 3 works by one author (all published by his company) was a sign of seeking personal gain rather than the best possible noms. I read all three, though (and should've just read one and saved myself time). Other than that, I tried to be thorough. I have, however, referred to some of it as crap after reading, which really wasn't nice.jtingermanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250183344417072340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499184.post-41410493991287189862015-08-25T06:45:15.788+02:002015-08-25T06:45:15.788+02:00Speaking as a Sasquan attendee, and a rabid puppy ...Speaking as a Sasquan attendee, and a rabid puppy nominee.<br /><br />I overhead many conversations as I wandered about the convention hall, just another anonymous new guy. Many conversations about many things. I heard much more than a handful of people say they didn't bother to read any of the puppy noms. One lady at dinner the next booth over referred to "those Castalia guys, the Patriarchy press" and bragged about not having to read any of "their crap."<br /><br />The plural of anecdote isn't data, but a LOT of people didn't read and judge. They simply judged - guilt by association - as they so often accuse their political opponents of doing. The direct insult the MC offered us to our face "year of the asterix" was classless, and the cheering of the crowd and chortling of the MC during the announcements was infantile and tasteless.<br /><br />Consero deletum.Rolfhttp://www.thestarscameback.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499184.post-11881708765847808292015-08-25T03:54:32.074+02:002015-08-25T03:54:32.074+02:00Just a typo alert...Best Fan Artist should No Pupp...Just a typo alert...Best Fan Artist should No Puppy noms, not No non-Puppy noms.Lauranoreply@blogger.com
