I just found a New York style deli/bakery in Austin that serves bagels and lox (among other Jewish delights)…excuse me while I squeal with excitement! This is a big deal for a misplaced Jew in the south, haha!

Pandora's Box: A Jar; not a Box...
from Wikipedia:
The mistranslation of pithos, a large storage jar, as “box” is usually attributed to the sixteenth century humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam when he translated Hesiod’s tale of Pandora into Latin. Hesiod’s pithos refers to a large storage jar, often half-buried in the ground, used for wine, oil or grain. It can also refer to a funerary jar.

Thank you
I just wanted to thank all my followers and recent followers for the love and support. When I started my blog, it was a way for me to keep a scrapbook of things that I love. But now, I feel like I am sharing these things with like-minded friends. I had no idea there were so many lovely people who were as odd as me, haha!
With all my heart, thank you. You have touched me with your kindness.
