The Art of Mardi Gras Doubloons
This was quite interesting. I have gone to Mardi Gras and received the doubloons, but had no idea about their history or coloring. I especially found the information on shape to be helpful. I thought they were all round! Great article!

The fish, the whole fish
Yes, pilchards on a toast is an option for lunch for me too. I try for 4 fish meals during the week.
