And it’s so weird. It seemed like they advised a totally separate account, so I tried that but couldn’t complete a profile and then I just…gave up.

It’s all pretty buggy. I tried to set up a flash account and couldn’t get past go.

Polpette di pane – bread polpette or breadballs, if you insist Lucca, June 2022 . London, August 2022. This has been the best, most rewarding recipe of this summer. Just love it I am a bread collector. All those stale loaf-ends (apparently called β€œthe heels”) …

A big yes to all the things you mentioned.
Also these bread polpette are delicious.

My photo shows detail from a Roman fresco (wall painting) in a corridor at Villa A, the luxurious so-called β€˜Villa Poppaea’ at Oplontis (modern day Torre Annunziata) in the Bay of Naples, Italy.

The fresco depicts a small light brown standing on a small pinky-brown wooden shelf, against a vibrant red background panel. The bird is shown in profile, facing left, with plummage painted in various shades of light brown and grey to beautifully depict detail of its feathers. The bird is lowering its head with beak open, about to peck into a fig on the shelf in front. There are two further figs painted behind the bird which have already been pecked into. The figs are painted light brown. The figs which have already been pecked into have cream flesh and red seeds.

This little bird survived a volcanic eruption!

Buried by volcanic ash from Vesuvius in AD 79, this Roman fresco of a little bird pecking at fruit re-emerged looking as delightful as it did some 2,000 years ago!

@mayorwu.boston.gov @boston.gov is a snow emergency being considered for this Saturday night, or do they not get called on weekends? Thanks!

I haven’t quite had time to get settled here but so far I’m liking what I see.
Somebody please tell me if this platform is also owned by evil zillionaires…
