Warm-kalter Salat … Warm and cold salad

Stella, oh, Stella

Heute gibt es mal wieder ein Rezept. Dieses habe ich auf Ned Hansons Blog entdeckt, und es stammt von Diane’s Kitchen. Es ist eines dieser einfachen, aber sehr schmackhaften Rezepte, das auch noch durch die unterschiedlichen Texturen und Temperaturen besticht, jeder Biss ein Knüller. Wichtig ist bei diesem Rezept, dass alle Zutaten geschnitten und vorbereitet sein sollten, bevor man anfängt, die Lagen aufeinanderzuschichten.

This, from Three Quarks Daily:


The Gendered Ape, Essay 6: Those Embarrassing Bonobos!

POSTED ON MONDAY, OCT 17, 2022 2:15AM BY FRANS DE WAAL

Editor’s Note: Frans de Waal’s new book, Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist, has generated some controversy and misunderstanding. He will address these issues in a series of short essays which will be published at 3QD and can all be seen in one place here. More comments on these essays can also be seen at Frans de Waal’s Facebook page.

by Frans de Waal   Of all the great apes, the bonobo is built most like our ancestors, including relatively long legs and the shape of their feet. Here standing upright, an adult female (left) and adolescent male. Since bonobos are genetically equally close to us as chimpanzees, they deserve the same attention in relation to human evolution.

FELLOW AMERICAN FARMERS:

NANMYKEL.COM

All right, I moved to the city, but the first seven years of my life were the happiest, and on my grandparents’ farm on Old Dowd Road in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I attended the Church right across the road, and my grandmother was a saint.  When I once asked her if we hated Hitler, she said, “No, we just don’t like his ways.”

Your Daily Dose of Snarklets — Filosofa’s Word

I decided that these mini-snippets of snark should be called ‘snarklets’, and today I have limited time, but a number of these little snarklets bouncing about in my head. A nice little vacation? Well, as you all know, Prime Minister Liz Truss resigned under duress yesterday morning after taking only 45 days to practically destroy […]
