She Spreads Light
In her hands lies
small miracles of ordinary days.

She listens, she learns, she grows.

And somewhere in quiet strength, she holds her memories together.

The light she’s been searching for
has always lived inside her.

To all women out there. Happy international women’s day

Medieval Feasts Had Fake Food

Banquets in the Middle Ages featured illusion foods—like fake peacocks stuffed with chicken. It wasn’t just about taste—it was all about spectacle and status.

From Fingers to Forks: The Evolution of Eating Tools - foodculturebites.com Why did we stop eating with our hands? Discover how eating tools like forks became symbols of status and civility—and what cultures still prefer finger food today.

It’s 500 BCE, there are no forks, no spoons, no knives. Just your food, and perhaps the odd rock or shell, if you’re lucky. So, when did we start using utensils? And which came first — the knife or the spoon? #foodculture #foodhistory #history #cutlery #utensils foodculturebites.com/from-fingers...

Testing @surf.social new “Community Hashtag” to start a conversation about
#FoodIdentity.

So let’s get started. Share a food that your family identifies with and you grew up with.

One of mine is Mulukhia, an Egyptian dish served with rice and chicken. It's my ultimate comfort food.

The Ice Cream that Helped Change Public Health Can you even imagine licking your ice cream from another person's cup? Eww! This actually did happen in Victorian England. You licked your frozen delight from a tiny glass that hundreds of other people had already used. No waffle cones or paper cups, ice cream was a shared dessert in every sense

I’m still exploring @surf.social and learning the ropes. One thing I like is that you can add your own photos and filter out topics you don’t care about using the “exclude” section—this helps keep your feed relevant.
Here’s a screenshot of a photo I uploaded. Try it yourself and see how it works!

Doing more experimenting with @surf.social to understand how it works in the app.
I just posted directly to my Surf feed.
I also posted on Mastodon and BlueSky. Now I’m waiting to see if the post shows up again in Surf. I’m trying to streamline the process so you’re not seeing duplicate content.

Food shocker for today!
Strawberries aren’t true berries. Bananas are!
A true berry develops from one flower with one ovary and usually has seeds inside.
• Bananas grow from a single flower with one ovary.
• Strawberries don’t, each seed is on the outside.

@bsky.flipboard.com a quick question. Why do all the magazine tiles on desktop and mobile appear as little red squares? How can we get the images back. Is this a known issue? Cc @kimscholb.social
