Something fun to do!
Go to this site and see what will happen if you dig a hole right through the earth. Your mom always said you’d come out in China, didn’t she? Chances are overwhelming that she was wrong.

Gioia Scatenata (Unrestrained Joy)
Today I received a “Box from Home” which for expats is something in the line of winning a local lottery or an all-expenses-paid week in New York. I get them often, but I have never shared them before– not because I am not excited, but because I am selfish and private.
The reason I am sharing this one is because it hit so many gongs in a row! I went through the house looking for a really American setting for it, and found this antique wedding ring quilt on the daybed. Hunh!
First, look at all those books! That represents weeks of entertainment while Spring gets a move on and the fog and rain go away. Then, the Tee shirt– the fabric below it I have had for years and now I know what to do with it, because some of the seashells match the shirt. There is a big ole silicone pastry mat that I really could have used when I made Hot Silk, too. This one has shapes and measurements on it, so you don’t have to guess when the pastry is the right size. There is Avena lip balm and Burt’s Bees tinted lip gloss. There’s a new body cream which promises to make me glow. I could use some glowing. There is mint flavored dental tape– how terrific is that?
There is also a new brain game for my Nintendo ds. Happy day!
But then there is that big sack of cocoa nibs. Just wow. Really. I love those and in small quantities I can have them on this diet! My mind is reeling with ideas for recipes once I can cook freely again. Lamb in spicy tomatoes with cocoa nibs? Butterscotch pudding with these stirred in? Oh my, oh my.
I am a very happy dame today. Thank you, eg.
