• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Not a recent photo but I like it very much. I’ve taken it a couple of years ago in Milano just out of my office, while I was walking headed to the metro. It always reminds me a bit of “ The Kingdom of Lights” by Magritte

That's my version of it. The real saying is "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day." That's said by Tacitus.

If you like that saying, then there's another one by Herodotus: "Nobody is foolish enough to choose war when he can choose peace. During times of peace, sons bury fathers, but when there's war, fathers bury sons."
