Zabaglione

rakski @rakski (154803) • Philippines 5h

I tried an Italian dessert called zabaglione for the first time. It was when we had a buffet dinner. I found it really interesting and delicious. It had a soft, velvety texture that reminded me of custard. I don't have a...

I am a literal hawk any time I am in a Ruler Foods or Aldi parking lot. Both of these stores require a quarter deposit to get a cart that you get back when you return it to its proper receptacle. I hold my quarters close, like I...

Black Coffee.

rakski @rakski (154803) • Philippines 18 May

After weeks of not drinking hot coffee, I am now enjoying again a cup of hot black coffee. Yes, that's because my throat is hurting. This soothes my throat right now. This has no calorie as well as I did not use sugar. Later on, I...

Amber I believed if I didn’t pray every night before I went to sleep, I’d go to Heaven overnight. I don’t know why as no one ever told me that. It wasn’t until I was seven, and I fell asleep one night before praying that I realized when I woke up in the morning that...

Pink slime - have you heard of it?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (380325) • Rockingham, Australia 10h

Have you heard of ‘pink slime’? Western Australia has now had its first examples of AI-generated online news outlets which pose as local news sites and/or regional newspapers. The colloquial term for such sites is ‘pink slime’....

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - Here in the U.S., many of our older buildings that date back to Colonial times are also crumbling. I remember visiting William and Mary University, one of the older universities in the US, with one of our daughters. It was drizzling rain outside,...

I admit it, I have read several books on the Titanic, the initial impression it made on the world, and the fascination. It's not like most of us will ever be on a ship anything like it was back then. And of course, we've all seen...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck Yes, I think you are right. My son is also sentimental about places I took the kids to enjoy, special times we spent as a family. He has a good and big heart...well, they all have good hearts, I am so very thankful for that.
