Sometimes I really want instant noodles for lunch. Especially if they’re Buldak. 😋

Promotional graphic for the Brussels Plain Language Experience 2025. The background shows a large meeting in the European Parliament chamber.

Bike and cake! If you live farm animals, pet them.

Totally agree with you, Robin, and disagree with Mr. Fry. His comments, if he made them, smack of “I’m better than you because I care and you don’t.” No accounting for lack of education, access to libraries, art galleries, museums, etc.

My friend made a book! It’ll help you with your Thanksgiving leftovers!!

Hey #BikeHFX, has anyone registered their bike on a bike registry website? Is it a good idea to do that? What is a good registry for Halifax?

I made stock twice in as many weeks, which meant I made these delightful vegetable crackers twice, using the spent veg from the stock-making process.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.
