Saturday, December 8th, 2007 03:37 pmI was going to make some rose-flavored frosting for my pistachio-rosewater cupcakes, but the new bottle of rosewater I bought is not nearly as strong in flavor as the previous Dabur brand one I had. Therefore the finished frosting does not even taste of roses. How can you tell when buying imported rose-water, how strong or high-quality it is? Doing a websearch, most of the rosewater results are in the skin-care category, not culinary. Even the Dabur website only lists their rosewater under skincare now.

Saturday, December 8th, 2007 07:10 pmAh. There are now "Adult Content Settings" on the LJ Journal Settings page. This lets you flag your own journal as having adult concepts and/or explicit adult content. There is also a "Flag" link on certain people's posts and journals, but not on others... it seems to depend on the journal's style. But apparently that is where someone else could flag your posts as being adult.
Ah. There is also an "Adult Content" dropdown on the "Post an Entry" page. Perhaps that explains why certain people's posts on my friends page were filtered as being adult. Perhaps they flagged them that way themselves.
The Settings page also lets you set whether or not your search results are filtered; it defaults to moderate filtering. But even if you set it to not filter, it apparently still does filter things: it returns no results for "spices" even though this community has it as one of its interests. I didn't even know what the term spic meant before I read about it being filtered, and therefore looked it up.
