Anti-aging Sugar Tax Zahar  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

I pity the politicians who want to do something good. They can’t clickbait their laws. For instance, the measure to tax sugary stuff can and should be called an anti-aging tax or, in Romanian, “contributia pentru o tinerete fara batranete si-o veatza fara de moarte”.

grandma, Bunica, is gone  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

I struggle to write about my grandma’s passing away, between expressing all I have to say, and staying within the limits of what a reader might find interesting or useful, without falling into too much drama.

Ferguson and Canadian Death Panels  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , , , , ,

I’ve two heavy things on my mind right now, and unlike WhatsApp frustrations, I don't think I'll be able to balance them with some happier, care-free thoughts. The second part of the title was inspired by a comment left by Blegoo about a year ago.

Morning Blogging

It's almost like a tradition here, on this blog, to dedicate at least an article every year to mornings. This time, it is mostly a retrospective and about breakfast.

Vegetarian Lentil Soup – Ciorba de Linte  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

There was a time when I considered myself vegetarian. It was easy, a very close friend was cooking while I was buying our food. These days I cook my own food and since my time is limited, I gravitate toward simple recipes. With that in mind, there's been a long time since I haven't presented a recipe here, so I'll be telling you about my favorite winter soup (which is more like a borsht), the lentil soup. And since it’s been a while since I wrote in Romanian, I’ll do it again, but you can find the English version below, in Sources.

How I met Gabriel Liiceanu  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , , , ,

Though inordinate, this childhood memory was quite far from being an extraordinary event, and as such, I wasn't going to write about it. But a recent, excellent article but this quasi-famous disciple of an even more famous philosopher caused me to reconsider and share this story with you.

Eggplant Salad Vinetta  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in ,

Vinettou is back with a vengeance, this time with his superhero S.O., Vinetta. I feel like having an eggplant salad, especially since the two eggplants I bought a while back have started to turn bad in my fridge, so I decided to investigate easy recipes.

Fumeile care fumeaza II – viestul verminin  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

In Vest, reclamele de tigari pentru femei sunt poveste veche, inceputa pe la sfarsitul anilor ‘60 de catre Philip Morris cu reclama pentru Virginia Slims: you’ve come a long way, baby, reclama care impletea produsul respectiv cu emanciparea femeii si feminismul acelor vremuri (vezi clipurile din surse si din ).

conjectura l3st II: utopia ca obiectiv printipal  

Thrown (Ţâpat) in , ,

Incepusem sa vorbesc in despre cum vaz eu lucrurile si-n special . Ici-sha trecem din planul ideatic in parcarea din spatele blocului si cercetam ce e de facut.
