From complaints to connectionNursing Home Chef Got Tons of Complaints About Food. He Asked 1 Simple Question That Changed Everything
“When you start getting that personal connection, you realize you’re a guest in their house,” says chef Craig Bowerson.
This story made me dig up my Mom's old recipe book. Talk about a flood of memories. A lot of her recipes were ones that her friends shared with her.
Here are three I remember well; Jell-o figures prominently. There are others, but they are in Lithuanian!

Continuing to redecorate Washington DCPirro came prepared. No umbrella as far as I can tell...
The top federal prosecutor in the nation's capital carted a box full of evidence to the White House on Monday, in a bid to prove to President Trump that the damage to the Reflecting Pool was caused by shoddy construction and not by vandals, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News on Tuesday.
U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro, a staunch ally of the president, made the case in a sometimes heated private meeting in the Oval Office Monday, hours after Mr. Trump had publicly rebuked her for dropping criminal charges against Olympic canoeist David Hearn.
She was later photographed leaving the White House carting a large white box and other bags, which sources said contained all of the evidence collected from the Interior Department that exculpated Hearn and several others from criminal vandalism.

Victor Borge plays it straight — Clair de LuneI saw him at Ravinia in the late 1990s. It was a hot humid day and he was of course performing in the outdoor pavilion. He was sweating profusely and I was worried he would keel over mid-performance but he never missed a beat.
Borge played his first major concert in 1926
Holy cow.

How is everyone's summer going?Think I learned the folk harp is not for me.
How about kanklės, a Baltic box zither instrument that's a popular folk instrument in Lithuania? I could pronounce you an honorary Lithuanian to make it official.

Think twice before booking a European river cruiseHungary to shut sole nuclear plant for first time on Sunday
Record-low water levels on the Danube forced the Paks plant offline, leaving Hungary facing a potential power crunch. In neighboring Serbia, energy production at two hydroelectric plants has also been reduced.
It measured the Danube's water level in Budapest at 23 centimeters (9 inches) on Wednesday morning, well below the previous record low of 33 centimeters (13 inches) set in 2018.
