First recorded ancient cheesecake (includes recipes)
I love cakes. I love all sorts of cheesecakes, too, including ancient cheesecakes. When I learned about Cheesecake Day early this month, I experienced one of those happy moments that almost makes sense of everything else. All my worries and problems took a second place because now there was Cheesecake Day to brighten up my days. Thirty days of cheesecake. Thirty days of sweet thoughts. To celebrate Cheesecake Day on 30 July, I wrote a poem composed by two Senryūs, which you can read here below, in case you’ve missed it:

The Parable of the Prodigal Son: A Bible Story of Forgiveness and Love. AI-Generated.
In a quiet village near Jerusalem, around 30 AD, Jesus often gathered crowds to share stories that carried deep truths about God’s love. One day, as the sun dipped low, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, a group of people—farmers, tax collectors, and Pharisees—sat on a hillside to listen. Some grumbled that Jesus welcomed sinners, so He began to tell the Parable of the Prodigal Son, a moving story of forgiveness, redemption, and a father’s unending love, found in the Gospel of Luke (15:11-32). This tale would touch hearts then and continues to inspire us today.

The best Italian top 10 foods?
Absolutely! Here are 10 of the best Italian foods you absolutely must try, delving into what makes them so special: 1. Spaghetti alla Carbonara: Simplicity at its finest. This Roman pasta dish is made with just a few key ingredients: eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, guanciale (cured pork cheek), and black pepper. The heat of the pasta gently cooks the egg yolks, creating a rich and creamy sauce that coats the spaghetti beautifully. Authentic carbonara contains no cream! The salty Guanciale provides a wonderful depth of flavor, perfectly balanced by the sharp cheese and the bite of black pepper.
