Probably not what you're looking for but I ran across a reference to a chocolate festival in Obidos, Portugal and I was really hoping for giant chocolate sculptures like the butter ones in the midwest... AND THEY EXIST!!!!
Giant chocolate (or looking like chocolate) sculptures in front of a castle.

I did not immediately think gumbo when I saw this. Just me?
Google Doodle for February 6, 2025 "Celebrating Gumbo" which includes (deep breath) 2 purple Gs, a chicken, a crab, 2 shrimp, garlic, onion, celery, 3 okras, a bell pepper, a weird set of sausage links that make an e, a bot of stew with a wooden spoon and some blobs of white that might be rice or mushrooms or I don't know.

From a random conversation yesterday, what's the oldest piece of clothing that you own that you still wear. I give you a shirt that Bro1 owned as a late teen that I've had in my closet for decades. It is over 40 years old and I still wear it as a jacket around the house
Early 80s corduroy shirt in light blue
