Not really sure how March could fly by within the blink of an eye. If it wasn’t for this Kottke post about the Emmentaler PR stunt (gecko cheese?), I would have become an easy victim for tomorrow’s April Fools’ Day jokes.

My dear grandpa is a very generous man, whenever he receives a gift from somebody he usually passes it on to me or one of his daughters. This not only includes little giveaways from the pharmacy, but – and this is obviously the better part – more food gifts than anybody could ever eat on his own. Close friends and relatives always make sure that his pantry is well stocked with cured meats, homemade jams and sweat treats.
