mail therapy

My sweetheart emailed me these words to be a guest post. History is fascinating. YouTube’s channel Simple History is simple history of events and concepts animated into bitesized chunks.

how my pasta is spelt

“I hate hippies.  Too bad I am one,” I said to Ming. I had ordered online some spelt pasta.  “Yeah, in case your elbow is in a spelling bee,” I said. I read the box directions for cooking the pasta.  It said to bring water to a boil and slowly add the pasta.  “Yeah, it’ll… Read More »
