Ah yes, peace and quiet.
I’ll add ripe fruits and sleep
bitter taste …
i was really hating it as a kid… and now I do like it …
Espresso, Zichory, Endive
health, quiet, healthy food, nature and the lightheartedness.
What did you not appreciate as a kid, but do now that you’re older?
The value of good sleep, the sacrifices my parents paid for me, lower gas prices, Saturday morning cartoons, morals, committed marriages.
My christian faith.
Differential equations.
Brussel sprouts.
I hated them as a poor mountain kid. Had to eat them all the them because – poor mountain kid. (They were and are dirt cheap).
Now, I love them. I think the big thing about this change is switching from Pinto Beans to Cranberry Beans in cooking. That, and the fact that I can season them more to my tastes. (I like things spicer than the rest of my family.)
I prefer cranberry beans as well, except in latino dishes. Dominican Rice and Beans or Desayuno de la Republica Dominicana are two of my favorites.
My parents, health …
Grit.
Today’s Question of the Day:
What is a book that you think every young person needs to read?
P.S. You can have a top five if you prefer.
- George Orwell - Animal Farm
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - The Gulag Archipelago
- George Orwell - 1984
- Fyodor Dostoevsky - Crime and Punishment
That’s the vital ones, should be read somewhere in teenage years, so that young person would never be tempted to become some left / right moral relativist lunatic fed by propagandists all around.
George Orwell: 1984
Gustave le Bon: The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind
Tim Marshall: The Power of Geography - Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of our World
