I celebrated my birthday as well as anyone who is exhausted, fighting a second viral infection, and pink eye. I did get nice, thoughtful gifts from the natives. I look forward to feeling better and interacting more. Oléé

Paul’s Seven Wonders of the Modern Word – The Taco
The first seven wonders were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World*. They were called they were: seven of them, were wonders, and were around during the times of the ancient world. Presumably there were wonders around hundreds of millions of years ago. The world back then teemed with nothing more than the odd virus colony. Unfortunately, the ancient virus never left any written record. And if they did, eons of years have eroded the evidence.
Sure, there have various seven wonders of the modern world, but lack style. It’s high time we have had our own list. And so, I bring you Paul’s Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Today, I bring you my first new wonder:
* = The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were: Great Pyramid of Giza, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Dragon Fruit Jam
American Appetizer
DRAGON FRUIT JAM
INGREDIENTS
1 dragon fruit
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup water
3½ tablespoons pectin
¾ cup sugar
SPECIAL UTENSILS
2 * ½ cup Mason jars. (They really must be hot and newly sterilized.)
Makes 1 cup. Takes 1 hour.
PREPARATION
Peel dragon fruit. Cut dragon fruit into ½” cubes. Add dragon fruit, lemon juice, and water to pot. Bring to boil using medium-high heat. Stir enough to prevent burning and until well blended. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for 15 minutes or until dragon fruit become quite soft. Stir enough to prevent burning and until well blended..
Add pectin. Bring to boil using medium-high heat. Stir slowly and just enough to prevent burning. Reduce heat to low-medium for 10 minutes or until pectin dissolves completely. Add sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves completely. Bring to low, or rolling, boil using medium-high heat. Boil for 1 minute. Stir slowly and just enough to prevent burning. Skim off any foam from this jam. Remove from heat.
Spoon jam into hot, newly sterilized Mason jars. Let cool for 10 minutes. Store in refrigerator for 3 weeks.
TIDBITS
1) This recipe uses dragon fruit. Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit chock full of antioxidants, fiber, and iron. It might improve metabolic health, Give it a try.
2) One dragon fruit is not the same as one dragon and one fruit, such as a strawberry. Don’t confuse them. Dragon fruit can be found in supermarket. Dragon fruit will let you take it home with no fuss to speak of.
3) Dragons however remain difficult to find. I’ve seen a feral dragon in some years now. All to be fair, I don’t venture out much anymore. You need to bribe a dragon with a gold coin in order to get it to follow you home. I urge care and speed when cutting a dragon into ½” cubes. They don’t like it! May I suggest first honing your slicing skills with the easy-going strawberry?

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Lodrunk
How many times has this happened to you? You’re a teetotaling introvert who got invited to to the local Petit Point and Tapestry’s weekly meeting. You decide to attend as you think this will be a rather sedate affair with everyone absorbed in their current project. You arrive. You say hello. Then cases and cases of whiskey arrive. Soon people are taking off their shirts and punching others in their big, stupid noses. One of them grabs you buy the collar to tell you how Sweden got screwed at the Treaty of Wespthalia in 1649. And you know the treaty was signed in 1649. But you don’t care anymore.
You feel your soul wilt to a mere wisp. You want to merge your molecules into that wall to avoid any more human contact. You need to go home. You yearn to recline in your chair, watch Lassie, and sip on a cooling lemonade. But if you up and leave, people will hate you, call you a snob, a lutefisk lover. If only there were a way to quickly leave party hell without becoming a social pariah.
This party poser leads us to
