Grand Cafe ODEON in Zurich.
So many famous people met and drank coffee here. This photos include a page from the menu.
I visited because Albert Einstein was a frequent guest. I will ignore the “Lenin and Mussolini” linkage!

This seems a bit of a coincidence. On the week where we have the Galileo exhibition, this is my Latte from the Black Hole Bistro! Looks remarkably like one of the eclipses drawn by Galileo!

Alessandro de Angelis the renowned physicist and astrophysicist was surprised at the lack of equations on my blackboard in my office……. So he added a bit of Schrödinger to help!!

As, the #WSJ notes, the “Dumbest Trade War in History” just started (see link)

www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

For Canadians there is a push to “buy Canadian”. To help this, there is a website to look up

madeinca.ca

Also labels help. Labels with Product of Canada are 98% Canadian

Here is my attempt at Mary Berry’s Vegetable and Lentil Cottage Pie!

Photo is just the top of it. Just in an aluminum pan! It’s all I had for it!

Added Lee and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce but still needs more flavour but it’s ok overall!
