Parma, Italy – a city of grand tastes…

ore de drum

Parma, 2016

Cu mașina, am răzbit cu greu căutând hotelul în Parma, centrul fiind restricționat circulației.

Orașul freamătă de activitate, tot timpul se organizează aici un eveniment în jurul produselor sale legendare, aflate în patrimoniul UNESCO: jambonul și parmezanul.

Gastronomie și cultură, două motive pentru care merită să vizitezi Parma.

Magazinele care comercializează aceste două produse sunt adevărate temple ale gastronomiei.

Proprietarii, care de obicei stau la tejghea, mi-au dat sfaturi asupra produselor dificil de ales. Am avut parte de o inițiere în gastronomia locală și am aflat multe informații despre gust și gusturi.

Abia acum pot spune că încep să știu să aleg parmezanul. Mi s-a explicat că acesta are gust diferit dacă e produs iarna, primăvara sau vara și acest lucru se reflectă asupra modalității de a-l consuma.

Carrot Lane

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

There is something I find rather disconcerting. I see all you humans struggling and working. But not for food, shelter, clothing. Over invaluable things to be gloating. That shiny thing ain't no carrot. And it's not even pleasing my palette. I've learned - a carrot is not a carat. Just like a dog is not a rabbit. At first I felt deluded. A bowl of goodies I anticipated. But, sparkly things caught my gaze. Suddenly it was the focus and rage. If you can't eat it, why so fascinated? If it doesn't get into your tummy, why pay so much for it, dummy? If I could, I'd make this world full of vegetation. It'd be so much better, I don't understand your hesitation. There'd be carrots everywhere and food for all. And mankind and bunnies would be happy after all. Why do you spend your money on the unnecessary? And…

Are We Ignoring the Warning Signs? So we can Keep on cutting down Trees — FunWritings

##Keep on praising yourself!

My experience

Keep on praising yourself even in failure. Because just like we need air to breathe and stay alive, in the same way ‘Praise’ is the best medicine for the human soul. You do not need the Olympics gold medal to praise yourself. Nor is there a need to become a CEO to praise yourself. Even if you are a student, teacher, parent, employee. We all have their own successes and failures. Perhaps you are suffering a frustration of failure. This does not mean that we stop paying your attention. Praising yourself is the realization of self-realization.

Texas Utility Commission Won’t Reverse Charges From February Storm : NPR (And what is the Governor and GOP legislative majority doing? Trying to divert attention to anything other than leaving consumers out in the cold!)

In January, Dallas resident Shannon Marrs paid $257 for electricity. But after Texas suffered the worst winter storm in years, Marrs’ February electric bill totaled more than $10,000. That’s because for a period of 32 hours during the deepest freeze of February’s winter storm, power companies were paying $9 per kilowatt-hour for the electricity — about 75 times higher than the state’s average winter costs. Companies passed those costs on to consumers. Texans facing those unexpected bills were hoping that Texas’ utility regulator would retroactively reduce the electricity market prices. But on Friday, the state’s Public Utility Commission chose to let the charges stand.

Uncertainty remains over when to lift COVID-19 emergency for Tokyo | The Japan Times

Japan still faces uncertainty over whether it can lift the coronavirus state of emergency in and around Tokyo on March 21 as planned after deciding Friday to extend the measure by two weeks.

While the coronavirus situation is seesawing, infectious disease and other experts warn of a possible fourth wave of infections, which would force the government to extend the country’s COVID19 emergency yet again.

Those concerns will likely continue to put Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga in a difficult spot as the government balances safety with economic concerns.

“I feel very sorry, but I sincerely ask for further cooperation from the bottom of my heart,” Suga told a news conference after the decision.

Chinese exports surge as global demand recovers from virus – The Washington Post

BEIJING — China’s exports surged 60.6% over a year earlier in the first two months of 2021, after factories reopened and global demand started to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

Exports rose to $468.9 billion, customs data showed Sunday, accelerating from December’s 18.1% gain and nearly double the growth expected by forecasters. Imports jumped 22.2% to $365.6 billion, up from December’s 6.5% increase.

Chinese authorities combine trade data for the first two months to compensate for fluctuations due to the Lunar New Year holiday, which falls at different times each year in January or February. Factories shut down for up to two weeks, then restock after they reopen.
