Good god. Up until this moment I thought it was "Tumeric". I've been making a total ass of myself all this time.

Thanks guys, I'm back in the bosom of the community. Fuck that guy in Sprout who needlessly corrected my pronunciation when I asked for a lemon and turmeric ball. I've just found out that turmeric prevents sickness and death so I've started putting it in everything. I cringed yesterday when I was asked why my porridge was yellow and I had to say the word aloud.

My old housemate ruined every dish and cup in the house with the stuff. He better live to a ripe old age or I'll fuckin kill him.
