Grand Cafe ODEON in Zurich. So many famous people met and drank coffee here. This photos include a page from the menu. I visited because Albert Einstein was a frequent guest. I will ignore the “Lenin and Mussolini” linkage! odeon.ch/en/odeon-his...

This seems a bit of a coincidence. On the week where we have the Galileo exhibition, this is my Latte from the Black Hole Bistro! Looks remarkably like one of the eclipses drawn by Galileo!

As, the #WSJ notes, the “Dumbest Trade War in History” just started (see link) www.wsj.com/opinion/dona... For Canadians there is a push to “buy Canadian”. To help this, there is a website to look up madeinca.ca Also labels help. Labels with Product of Canada are 98% Canadian #buycanadian

Here is my attempt at Mary Berry’s Vegetable and Lentil Cottage Pie! Photo is just the top of it. Just in an aluminum pan! It’s all I had for it! Added Lee and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce but still needs more flavour but it’s ok overall! #chemistswhocook thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/vege...

Jan 8 marked an anniversary in physics: Stephen Hawking born 300 years after Galileo Galilei died. Both revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos—Galileo used a telescope to challenge centuries of accepted wisdom; Hawking reshaped our insights into black holes & the origins of the universe.
