Third Party Web Site Features Will Soon be a Thing of The Past

Over the years I've used several third party services for the web site to facilitate or accompany some features for this site such as for comments, photos, etc but almost all of them have either not been reliable or change their features over the years if not mere months of use.

The list includes:

Facebook
Instagram
Elfsight
...

and probably a few more that I can't be bothered to try to remember.

From this point onwards, no more of these . Well maybe except for Forecast7, which still works.

Sarawak Black Pepper

Sarawak black pepper is known for its strong flavor and aroma. It is a versatile spice that is used in a wide range of dishes, including meat, seafood, vegetables, and sauces. It is also an essential ingredient in many traditional dishes in Sarawak.

Sarawak black pepper is grown on smallholder farms and it is considered to be of high quality and is exported to many countries worldwide.

Sarawak White Pepper

Sarawak white pepper is a variety of white pepper that is grown and produced in Sarawak and is known for its unique taste and aroma, which is considered to be milder and less pungent than black pepper. It is often used in dishes that require a more delicate flavor, such as soups, sauces, and light-colored dishes like mashed potatoes, where black pepper would not be ideal.
