If Mr. Rogers owned a haberdashery

my hubby would probably have shopped there. Another week, another series of quirky outfits involving one comfy gray cardigan.

Admire the beauty (again)!

Do you remember learning the Pythagorean theorem ( a2 + b2 = c2 ) when you were in school? Well, here's a visual way of showing it.  Eureka.  Isn't it beautiful?

Annairizi of Arabia (circa A.D. 900)

Is anyone out there a quilter?  I bet this would make a really lovely (albeit nerdy) quilt.

A Filo feast

Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.



What's inside the pot?  Eye of newt?  Wing of bat?  Finger of a naughty child?  Nope, just some cabbage, pork, green beans, onions, eggplant, tomatoes, and a special blend of exotic spices.  It's sinigang, one of my favorite Filipino dishes.    

It's usually eaten with rice, but I just slurp it up sans starch. 
Sour. Salty. Tasty.
