One of my students did not know the meaning of the word "oblivious"- and you can maybe guess how I wanted to define it.
Just a funny moment.

"About tastes, one ought not to argue"
What I am Currently Cooking and Drinking
Chili Mole- it is a cold spring day, so chili sounded good. I love chocolate and cinnamon with meat, so we are attempting our version today.
Penne alla Vodka alla Lidia Bastianich- my favorite version- so not good for you!

What I am Currently Reading
4/24- "Plagues and Peoples" by William H. McNeill. Older book on how infectious diseases influence history. I always wanted to study genetics or infectious diseases, but somehow got stuck on Latin...
4/19- "The Swan Thieves" Elizabeth Kostova. Finished- liked "the Historian" a lot (ending the exception- but that is nothing new- most endings of most books disappoint. See "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" on how to write an ending), but this effort was okay. I worked to read it because I simply wanted to know the story, but all characters were the same (and chapters supposedly had different characters narrating) and nothing really happened. See "Possession" for a good novel about uncovering lost love affairs and history's harsh treatment of talented female artists.
