When I went to Europe once when I was younger, I was annoyed that you had to buy bottled water at every restaurant.
Now, as I've visited more recently, I've realized that part of the reason one generally feels better in Europe than in the US is because we are drinking mineral water all the time when we go there. It's worth paying extra for. That magnesium and potassium are essential nutrients. Bonus points if it has CO2.
Now back in the US I need Gerolsteiner or whatever I can get my hands on.

My favorite waters are Evian (for casual occasions) and Kaiserwasser (for special occasions) but I recently discovered Sariza water and I was very pleasantly surprised, especially since I got it at the bodega downstairs. 776 Sariza is mineral spring water from the Greek springs of Sariza. According to the company: The water has healing properties, it was suggested that it cures kidney ailments and many other diseases. There is a sign next to the spring saying: “Hi stranger, remember, whenever you return to your homeland, you owe your life to me.” Can’t vouch for any of this but I sure like the taste. There’s nothing more precise I can say about mineral water as of now… but I will be going to water sommelier school next year and I’m looking forward to describing why I like some waters over others in a more convincing manner very soon.

Feels so good. Rehydrate.
For extra luxury: pour it out of a pitcher.
Anti-rec: fizzy water, aka water w gas…makes acid in body. Just found out.

This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop.
It’s run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about “the benefits” of chocolate and how it’s a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. He’ll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and it’s wrong a lot of the time.
You’ll then buy a bar even though it’s small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way again…

If we click on a rec or ask to comment, like I'm doing now, it would be great that when I go back, it doesn't send me back to the top of the page but rather to the place where I was scrolling previously.

I did it this morning, meditated, read a short story, watched the sun rise, and then got to work!
