FB post screencap: On this day 3 years ago Michael Kwun April 26, 2022 As of today's close of market, TWTR is trading at $49.68, which is an 8.3% discount to the deal price of $54.20. That implies a collective belief that there is a significant chance that the deal won't close. [8 likes/shocked reactions; 45 comments; 1 reshare]

I know what you mean—I made my own spam, and then made musubi with it for a teenager sleepover

I went to a lovely party that featured 10 (TEN!!) high end champagnes, but for me the true star was the tete de moine cheese flowers. the cheese dates back to the 12th century, but the girolle tool that is today used to create cheese rosettes shaped like chanterelle mushrooms was invented in 1982
Tête de Moine AOP with girolle: a round wooden platform with a semi-hard cheese held in place with a central pole to which a turning knife is attached, which is rotated to create cheese curls that form into rosettes that resemble chanterelle mushrooms
