  • A primary school teacher by profession, Soriano developed the idea after witnessing first-hand the power reading had on his students, most of whom had lived through intense life conflicts at a young age. Starting in the late 1990s, Soriano traveled to communities in Colombia’s Caribbean Sea hinterlands with a portable library, which began with 70 books.

    Books lost from the collection include a sex education manual and a copy of Laura Esquivel’s 1989 novel Like Water for Chocolate, both of which were not returned by borrowers. A copy of Paulo Coelho’s 1990 novel Brida was stolen by bandits, who tied up Soriano after attempting to rob him and discovered he had no money.

    Yes, books are awesome!


  • Moon mist is an ice cream flavour popular in the Atlantic Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick, as well as Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] Believed to have been created in Nova Scotia in the 1960s, the ice cream is an unusual combination of banana, grape and bubble gum flavours and is sold by many of the large regional dairy producers.[2][3][4] These flavours are not fully blended together.

    Oh my goodness! That sounds amazing!











  • According to an urban legend, the Mull of Kintyre test or Mull of Kintyre rule was an unofficial guideline used by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) to decide whether an image of a penis could be shown.[41] According to the myth, the BBFC would not permit the general release of a film or video if it depicted a penis erect to the point that the angle it made from the vertical was higher than that of the peninsula of Kintyre in Argyll and Bute on maps of Scotland.[42][43] This test has often been called “the angle of the dangle”.[44][45][46]

    The Mull of Kintyre test was said to have first been used for the release of the controversial erotic historical drama film Caligula in 1979.[41]

    Just for today, I will spare you my opinions and leave you to your imagination.




  • You can make your own Chinese Five Spice, I highly recommend it! You probably have all the ingredients already. Store in a glass and a cool, dry and dark place and it will last long.

    Those peas are my grandparents’ favorite brand of peas. They’re not mushy but I add them last so they’re not crushed by utensils. I’ve used them in fried rice before and my family makes Chicken Guisantes with those peas. It must be that brand or else

    EDIT: Wait, what?!? 99¢!?! You’re so lucky! I have to make a special trip to some Asian supermarket or H-Mart to get those and they’re not 99¢, lol! Enjoy!
