Month: January 2016

I am prewriting most of this post because I have a significant hardware changeout happening this weekend at work; let’s hope for quiet.

Your unrelated food link of the week:  The teas to make you forget all about coffee.  Not as smug as the usual tea article, thank goodness.

The first link will bring you a lot more reading.

Your off-topic link of the week: The food timeline.   This is one of those old-school sites without fancy formatting, created mostly though one person’s focus on a topic, and astonishingly in-depth.  This sort of thing makes me so happy to see.
