Eaters United

No matter who you are, no matter where or when you're from, if you've got to celebrate, there's bound to be food involved. No scratch that - 'involved' is too puny a word. Let's just say the food maketh the partay. The better the food, the greater the variety - the more accomplished your celebration!
What is it about gastronomy that unites people from different lands? Sure, our tastebuds may not agree with each other on the ideal content of our dinner plates (or palm-sized paper plates, as one often finds at work), but if you can eat it and want more, then that's all that matters.
As fun as eating our way through life seems to be, maybe it's time to step back, take a breath and learn to be a little hungry. Hunger is good. It reminds you of things to come.
Things coated in chocolate, preferably.

Facebook

Stalking on Facebook ... the urge to discover how people look a few decades down the line, is quite irresistible. But, where does curiosity end and become vicarious pastime? Can anyone answer? Well, truth be told if all of us could get our hands on an invisibility cloak, who would not love a spot of snooping. Yes, we are not the chicken stealing types but curiosity definitely did not kill this cat. Would you like to disagree?
