Trying my hand at Manakish with home made Zatar (thyme is from our own garden). Fedi, does this look like a good starting point?

Two pieces of rolled dough placed on baking parchment, each topped with a dark herb paste (Zatar)

And in my quest to one-up @eh, here’s me operating (almost) a live train

Me in a bright red shirt. I’m standing in the guard’s carriage in a Sri Lankan commuter train, pretending to operate the big brake

Reading a local news report. Thought I was having a stroke. The Secretary’s name is what exactly? :excuseme:

Print newspaper article on school closures. Relevant paragraph:

Ceylon Teachers Union General
Secretary Joseph Stalin said the suggestion of relocating students within 5 km is impractical. This is particularly difficult in remote regions and the hill country.

First attempt to make Zatar started. Thyme from our own garden, will take 2 weeks (?) to dry. Hopefully enough for some manakish 😁

A light fixture in our kitchen, with five bundles of fresh thyme hanging to dry. In the background, there are two framed art pieces on the wall, and a green plant is visible near a window.

looking forward to not understanding a single thing

Copy of the book “Monetary Economics and Policy” by Pierpaolo Benigno

An open book displaying a page with a graph illustrating the relationships between aggregate supply (AS) and aggregate demand (AD), along with mathematical equations and text discussing economic concepts such as equilibrium, productivity shocks, and the frictionless real rate of interest.

I feel called out

The Germans plan everything not just weeks, but months in ad-vance. Last week, three months before a conference I will attend in Germany, I received an e-mail asking me to choose, from three options, what I want to have for dinner at the conference opener on April 6. Now let me ask you, how can I be expected to know today, a day in January, what I am going to want to eat on April 6? But this is no joke. If you don't check the box, schedule your meal choice, and return it by the stated date, someone will start hunting you by e-mail.

Turns out, yes it's possible to embed MathML into <code>. First paragraph is Unicode, second paragraph is MathML. I think I'm gonna go with the second one, unless it's just a simple Greek character.
