Who Decided to Put Sauerkraut in Chocolate...

November 10, 2022

On October 21, 1965, the San Bernardino Sun ran a recipe for what it described as a “moist luscious piece of chocolate cake.” The newspaper promised a dinner-party crowd pleaser, yet added conspiratorially, “your guests will not guess your secret until you are ready to reveal it to them.” In this case, the secret was “crisp, crunchy sauerkraut.” Home bakers have always reveled in a secret ingredient—the weirder the better. When The Washington Post ran a similar recipe years...

Lapinlahti Hospital in Helsinki, Finland

November 10, 2022

The hospital was founded in 1841 and operated for over 160 years before its closure in 2008.

In summer, tiny Lake Šobec, not much larger than an Olympic swimming pool, is a playground. It’s the main attraction at a popular camping site just outside Bled in mountainous northern Slovenia. Šobec’s shallow waters feature areas for swimming and kayaking, plus a modest water park. Ducks and swans share the shore with humans, while a variety of small fish tickle the toes of anyone splashing past them. When winter descends on the Alpine landscape, however, the small lake...

November 10, 2022

In 2019, Tsuru for Solidarity, a social justice organization led by Japanese Americans, wanted to organize a rally in Washington DC to protest the separation of migrant children from their families at the US-Mexico border.
