Something useful, like a recipe, is long overdue.

I'd love to see some recipes from you/Sri Lanka.

This is one of those days that started very very bad. Just told that a dear friend of mine has passed last night.
Covid gave him the coupe de grace.
I’m lost in words. Heartbroken. Can’t believe this

My condolences on the loss of your friend. Don't forget that love never dies and his/her memory will live in your heart always. My heart goes out to you.

"However, in 1496, after the end of Moorish rule, King Manuel I married Isabel of Spain, who was not so aligned with the idea of religious freedom. Her ultimatum: Their betrothal would mean the expulsion of Jews from Portugal. Manuel I mandated that all Jews be baptized, or otherwise expelled."

Fried fish was always the Friday night dish of choice within my Jewish family in London. It was never in batter always in breadcrumbs. We liked it cold.

Google outage: YouTube, Docs and Gmail knocked offline

"Google has been contacted for comment, but one spokesperson said they were unable to access their email during the outage." Irony is a beautiful thing

My condolences. Such saddening news. Like TR wrote, try to focus on the best memories - but let your feelings flow freely. I hope you're surrounded by supportive and understanding loved ones.
