Let’s talk about ‘whoa.’

First of all, ‘woah’ is not yet considered an established spelling variant of ‘whoa.’

While ‘woah’ has grown in prevalence since the late 20th century, ‘whoa’ is still about 5 times as common as ‘woah.’

It’s Soup Season!👩🏻‍🍳🥣❤️‍🔥

First up, Copycat Panera Broccoli Cheddar Soup from The Girl on Bloor: thegirlonbloor.com/panera-brocc...

I love that this recipe is made with milk (as many similar recipes use cream).

Before adding cheese, I blitzed it with my immersion blender as I prefer a blended soup.
Golden blended soup (with flecks of orange and green) in a purple bowl. The soup is topped with two bright green broccoli florets and a lightly-toasted slice of bread.

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.

Some phrases are so well-known, you don't need to say the whole thing to be understood.

E.g., you can say "birds of a feather" without saying "flock together."

-“When life hands you lemons…”
-“Great minds…”
-“When in Rome…”

Such partial phrases are called 'anapodotons.'

Spread my Ashes in Pompeii by Anne Lipton Spread my ashes in Pompeii and I shall live another day, spending all eternity breaking chains to set slaves free, baking in the bakery, and reading in the library. I’ll toast and feast in courtyards square, dining in the open air. I’ll amble every stony street upon my leather-sandalled feet. Good friends and Romans, I will greet, whenever we should chance to meet. I’ll paint the walls and tiles, too, beneath broad skies of brilliant blue. My playwriting I’ll have to tweak, learning Latin—even Greek— so I can read and write and speak, a watchful eye on every peak. Though if Hell breaches hallowed ground, I’ll lead Pompeiians somewhere sound. So never fear the volcano, though it may huff and it may blow. We’ll be gone should lava flow and long before the ashes snow.

Poem printed on photograph of a sketch. Text of poem: Zero Winks I have stitches in my side and stuffing in my belly. I can’t get a wink of sleep. My knees are made of jelly. I can thrive on zero sleep. I never stop to eat. But I need a little push to bring me to my feet. I see everything you do and nothing much at all with unblinking button eyes— because I am a doll. –Anne Lipton Background: Sketch of woman wearing a turban with ostrich plumes, diamond necklace, and a long sleeved empire-waist gown standing before a chaise longue and lamp on end table.

The Latin ‘statim’ means “immediately” or “without delay.”

This is why doctors say ‘stat!’
