Sigh. Wife and child flown back to the Old Country, Ameriky.

So now that Belle's away from her post, will you fill in and offer us secrets of bachelor survival cuisine in Singapore? Do they sell peanut butter over there?

Family history says that my grandfather was carried out of Romania and to the US in a suitcase. I'm inclined to think we've lost some parts of the story, but the gist has always been that his parents were trying to save money so as to stay one step ahead.

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
