a somewhat random selection of favorite things

I see these posts all the time on other people's blogs, so. . . here are six of my favorite things! (The number has no significance; it was just how many photos I took before I got bored.)

problem

well, a small one.

There are certain words that for some reason I cannot spell in American English.

1. Catalog. I always type catalogue. Always.

2. Plow. I always use plough.

3. Glamor. Glamour. . . just seems more normal.

I do not have issues with color, license, or any host of other words. . . but those ones throw me.

SQUEEEEE I WANT TO LEARN MORE LANGUAGES

Linguistic food for thought.

It seems that rice is cheaper than pasta: one bag provides something like 10-12 servings for 70-80 cents, whereas one bag of pasta is 5-6 servings for 40-50 cents.
