@cerchio Interesting! I wonder if they sell a pork-stuffed cookie too.

If I visit a co.uk website does it try to set a biscuit in my browser?

@GustavinoBevilacqua I'll have to tell a lie each time I eat one of the cookies. ;)

@GustavinoBevilacqua Aha – thanks, that is interesting. Makes sense for the cookie shape.

Some additional international #cookies from today's brief grocery shop, for my on-going world-cookie exploration

These from Poland and Italy.

Reading more on tempered glass in general, there's a French inventor (de la Bastie) in the 19th century that invents it, patenting it in UK in 1874. Then a German (Siemens) makes a stronger version shortly after.

Then an Austrian (Seiden) moves to the US in 1935 and patents a version.

So the 1934 Donbas version predates the US patent, but is likely just borrowed from the French/German earlier work.

I've ordered some little windows for a project and I see it uses a type of tempered glass called #Stalinite !?

Can't find much on it, other than products mentioning its use. One mention says it was invented in Donbas, Ukraine glass factories in 1934. Is that the original name of our standard tempered glass? Sounds the same as the stuff used in car windows which shatter into beads rather than shards.

Weird that the name is still used. I took a pass on Hitlerium flooring products though.

Turns out they're actually demolishing part of their historic #WhiteHouse. Isn't that traditionally Canada's job!?

Turns out Trump was lying when he said his gaudy ballroom would be: "near the existing structure but would not change it."

Wow - it sure is frustrating to shop for a thing, and none of the manufacturers/vendors will show you a view from the opposite side.

"Here are ten views of our product, but never one of the opposite side."

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?

Just out of the oven - an asparagus and ham #quiche for supper tonight. Some cheddar and Havarti involved too, as well as a bunch of garden herbs.
