Oh yeah, being turned into a book is unlikely to be worth the headache for anyone involved. The tree burials that are legal in some spots is a reasonable option. Or just donation to science.

Whatever is cheapest/lowest fuss is fine. If that means I get reused or recycled great! If not, just don't let me be a bother.

Sky burial is also awesome. Hopefully there are enough vultures to keep that up in at least some places. There's a 99% Invisible episode that talks about collapsing vulture populations resulting in issues with doing it in India.

Same for human parts for me.

Weirdly enough, I still think my preferred way to dispose of my eventual cadaver is being made into a book.

I wouldn't want to own book me, but I love the idea of being a book. Not like a gruesome one where someone could tell right off, something more boring than that.

This is in line with other comments. Embarrassing yourself in public with her is potentially funny for both of you.

Trying to embarrass her more directly than that may be crossing a line.

I'm surprised by anchovies lacking it but you appear to be correct, even for raw anchovies. I tried looking at a handful of other raw fish and they also have no vitamin C.

I guess that makes sense, if fish could supply vitamin C I can't imagine scurvy would've been a problem for long.

I'm not sure why the need to draw a firm distinction between the two. I'm quite focused on lyrics if they're present and in a language I understand. I'm not fussed if they aren't.

If you find the music in some way engaging, that's enough. Denigrating other music as in some way lesser than your preferred genre is odd.

Aside from what's mentioned here already, Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything is a great resource. I'm not sure how much Indian food is in it, but the recipes are simple and followed by a long list of simple substitutions to make different variants.

I have a copy of Curry Easy and everything I've made from it has been good.

I don't think I've seen anything that wouldn't be suitable for beginners, but I'm also not entirely sure I would notice.
