In the world of Save. Spend. Splurge.: 200 countries in 200 years

1. 200

This is incredible. 4 minutes of stats in a very visual manner.

2. Drought

As in.. a Wife Drought. This book was eye-opening and extremely easy to read. It is incredible how much inequality is baked into work.

3. Father of Rice

Yuan Longping, the father if the hybrid high-yield rice that alleviated famine and poverty around the world, died in May. Here is his story.

4. Stuffed Cookies

I bought these stuffed cookies for my friend to cheer her up. I recommend the SKOR cookies as they’re my favourite but they’re all good.

5. Sushi

Following the rice theme, here is how to make sushi with Iron Chef Morimoto (I loved him the best during Iron Chef).

6. Bamboo salt

I saw a video on Bamboo salt and now I am interested in trying some to see what it tastes like.

7. First Class Food

Mark Wiens is an Eater. He is over the top, dramatic and he is flying First Class on AMA flying from Bangkok to L.A.

8. Gobblet

Advanced Tic-Tac-Toe is what I call this game. It’s a game called Gobblet where you can put X’s and O’s and cover them with larger cups to create a strategy to get lines.
