Have you ever heard of a “Tiffin?” I knew what they were, but until recently I didn’t know what they were called. These are Tiffins: According to Wikipedia this is the definition and derivation of the word “Tiffin”: Tiffin is lunch, or any light meal. It originated in British India and is today found primarily in Indian [...]

For the most part I don’t write my Blog on paper and then transfer it to my laptop, but when I get a good idea, I will write it down in a notebook I keep in my purse for the times I am away from my laptop. I spend an inordinate amount of time on [...]
