According to World Religions, a Historical Approach, the political ascendancy of a new middle class of farmers and merchants in China happened in the VIII century BCE (p.104). Take that, West!

The same book states that the Chinese government officials applied the Taoist principles of nonaction in as early as the III century BCE (p.113). Did you think Adam Smith invented laissez-faire?

The author is probably bias, but I can understand it. Taoism is an appealing philosophical system.

I decided to cook some borsch for my friends today, so I went to P&C and got some beef, cabbage, potatoes, tomato paste, etc. Then I decided to not cook this soup. I changed my mind because I forgot to get the essential ingredient of borsch (beat) and already started cooking. I remembered that Min always says that I do not put enough salt in the soup, so I added one tablespoon. “This is too much,” I thought immediately after adding the salt. It did not taste much like the borsch I used to eat at home. When Min arrived, she joked that she will have to recook the whole thing for me. But she tried it and she liked it. Then Madhu and Tessa tried it, and they liked it too. Lucky me! My cooking accidents turned out to be better than my best masterpieces.
