The Nineteenth-Century Hipster Beard
From the BBC: "Do you know someone with a beard you would categorise as "impressive"? Get them to take a look at the facial hair of 19th-century 'Whiskerandos'..."

Fascinating photo essay of how kids eat in their school cafeteria. Definitely would have been glad to go to school in Italy.
Polpette al Sugo con Polenta
Roughly translated as Meatballs in Tomato Sauce With Polenta, this is pure Italian comfort food. Make it for supper on a Sunday evening, when you have a bit of time to relax and cook.
