Good timing, what with Fat Tuesday/Paczki Day coming up next week.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

Good catch. I didn't really think anyone would make that connection.

 

 

Thanks. Ms. Alex's order has already been placed: one each of raspberry jam, lemon curd, chocolate custard, and caramelized honey. Also available at that bakery are prune, rum custard, guava cream cheese, and pistachio rose.

Those all sound good however my first choice is always prune and second raspberry.

Cheers.

Am reminded of when a granddaughter asked me that question.   I answered, “Oh yes, Sweetie, I am very, very rich!  I have you and your brother and sister, your Daddy and Mommy, and Grandpa!    I am super rich!”

She grimaced and gave me a look that sealed how loopy she considered me.

One of my "favorites" in that particular school of design is when the force required to open a bag's zipper seal exceeds the tensile strength of the bag itself. Gets me going, every time.
