I do not know whether they were able to check for water bars, as the checking may have involved taking up the concrete.

That 12-century statue, even damaged, has so much presence!
Thank you for this article. I never knew about this backlash against Catholics the way you present it in your articles. It's good to know and to ponder on.

Creamy Carrot Soup with Celery Root
We don't throw away much food (leftovers). Food scraps, yes. The municipal waste management company is Rebu. Note that we don't have dumpsters at apartment buildings: we throw the garbage down a chute. It collects in a dumpster, yes, but we ...

Creamy Carrot Soup with Celery Root
