Welcome

A curiosity shop is a place of odds and ends in a wide range of categories. One never knows what one will find on any visit, and that is the goal of this blog. Here you'll find postings on doings around Easton, the world's environment, history, recipes, fly fishing, books, music, and movies with many other things thrown in as well. Hope you enjoy it and keep coming back.

I Can't Believe the Easton Curiosity Shop is One Week Old

I hardly thought I'd make it through the first week of blogging, but here I am finding it fun and relaxing. I want to thank the person who makes it all possible-my dog Maggie. She has to take a pill an hour before her breakfast and heaven help anyone who makes a move towards the kitchen before she can eat. Thus, an hour of sitting quietly to write a blog.

Today, I'd like to share a grab bag of stories and sites with you.

Diabetes Self-Management posted an article by Diane Fennell on a meta study proving again the benefits of a Mediterranean style diet. It includes a link to an interesting recipe for Greek Shrimp.

An interactive map posted by the New York Times organizes photos of earthquake devastation in Japan. Interactive maps, pioneered by Google, are becoming more common in a much more serious way than showing you a picture of the latest pub in town.

If your thinking of donating for relief work in Japan (or New Zealand), you might want to use one of the several charity rating services available on the net. Here is the link to Charity Navigator.

Here's a link to Coriander Bistro in Sharon, the closest Indian (Nepalese actually) restaurant to Easton. Excellent daily lunch buffet. Just looking at the website makes me hungry.

Finally, a scary true story from the Chronicles of Higher Education from teacher Ellen Laird about having a murder suspect in her classroom.
