Anni Dreams of Biryani written by Namita Moolani Mehra, illustrated by Chaaya Prabhat Two Lions/Amazon, 2022, 40 pages Anni lives in Little India with her mother and grandmother and every Friday, it is their once a week special treat to have biryani for dinner at the Biryani Cafe. This is the best biryani in Little India, made by an elderly chef named Mr. Arif whom everyone calls Uncle with an even older secret to his recipe. And it is Anni's absolute favorite thing to eat. If only she could make biryani that good, but she would need to find out the secret ingredient that sets it apart. Sure, Anni can already cook all kinds of delicious curries, koftas, roti, and raita, but not biryani that taste like Uncle's. Then, one day, Anni gets an idea. Every week, Anni asks Uncle about one ingredient in his biryani and writes down his answer, until... one Friday, instead of answering Anni's question, Uncle tells her to stop talking and try making her own biryani. And that is just what Anni does, but even though her biryani is good, it just isn't as good as Uncle's. But when Uncle looked at the recipe Anni had written down from all his answers, he stomps off in a huff, back into the cafe. And that is the end of Friday night biryani for Anni and her family. Or is it? A few weeks later, Anni comes up with a new plan, only to discover the cafe has closed and Uncle is gone. Could this really be the end of the best biryani ever? Will Anni never learn the secret ingredient in Uncle's biryani? Anni Dreams of Biryani is such a fun book about a young girl who loves to cook, which is apparently not as uncommon as you might think. Anni is sweet, spunky, and really persistent. Her plan, after all, would require weeks of questions and answers, and she even manages to pick up some useful cooking tips from Uncle, besides the list of ingredients. I loved the story of how Anni persevered trying to figure out the perfect biryani recipe, but I found the ending a bit abrupt and I didn't think it was clear why Uncle closed the cafe and left. It isn't as if Anni were competition for him - she is still just a school girl. The colorful digitally created illustrations depict a lively Little India neighborhood, with people busily going about their business. And the food images really capture the aroma of the different spices and other ingredients in the Biryani Cafe. They made me hungry for Indian food just looking at them. Back matter includes information about Biryani and how to make it special. There is a link to a quicker, easier version of Chicken Biryani that kids and their parents can try at http://indian-spicebox.com/biryani Now, I'm dreaming of biryani, too.

James Sant CVO, RA (1820–1916) was a British painter specializing in portraits, and a member of the Royal Academy. Sant was born in Croydon and taught by John Varley and Augustus Wall Callcott. He lived to the age of 96 and produced an astonishing number of canvases for exhibition at the Academy, some 250 of them, from 1840 through 1904. He was elected to the RA in 1870, and in 1872 Sant was appointed Principal Painter in Ordinary (official portraitist) to Queen Victoria and the royal family. Sant resigned from the RA in 1914 to "make room for younger men." His work can be found at the Tate Gallery.

This Thanksgiving we went to the Toledo Museum while visiting my in-laws. To my surprise, the museum is a treasure trove. Every corner I turned, I was like, “WOW, this is so rare!” “OMG it’s a so and so.” “WOW, I’ve never seen an X in real life,” etc. The best part of the museum was that there were
Tal vez ya te habías percatado de esto, pero las mujeres trabajamos más horas “gratis” que los hombres. Y no te estoy hablando del trabajo formal; según los datos del INE, las mujeres pasan 26.5 horas a la semana en labores del hogar, como cuidar a los hijos o familiares, o hacer colaboraciones humanitarias. En contraposición, los hombres sólo pasan 14 horas a la semana realizando alguna de estas tareas. Analicemos según los casos familiares. Lo que es común a todos, es que los hombres hacen menos horas de trabajos no remunerados. 1.
