The sort of online rabbit hole one is liable to fall down in lockdown times ...

There's a company named Spirit of Spice that specializes in "whole seed" spice mixes all coming in their own little mills: I've been a fan of theirs for quite a while, though so far I've been buying their products in stores, not directly from them.  So when my stock of their garam masala mix went low and lower (during the lockdown of all times), I started to look for ways to replenish it ... it's heavenly with carrot and pumpkin soups, among other things, and has become an absolutely indispensible element of my cooking. -- In short order, I discovered they have an online store.  The outcome of my foray through the rabbit hole thus opening up arrived today ... and I absolutely love it, from the "look" of the package to the contents (of course) and the nice handwritten thank you note from one of the two managers -- who had even included a large-size bonus item in the package.

And when I put it all onto my spice shelves, I noticed that the contents of my Spirit of Spice mix of Provençal herbs (no tomato soup without it, ever again!) is also beginning to run a bit low.  Hmmm ...

Drink Your Coffee Mindfully

Create a Ritual from your Drinking Coffee Habit

Prepare and drink coffee with mindfulness.

Coffee ritual is an ancient ritual coming from Africa. Coffee needs to be roasted, ground and freshly prepared. Coffee needs company :)!

Mindful Being is the Alchemy of Love Mindfulness Training Course by Nuit.

This is obviously not a book, but I had to leave a short review of this supposedly good-for-me-but-tastes-like-nothing-I-will-ever-drink-again drink. 

My dear sister brought me four bottles of Kombucha Multi-Green drink a few days ago while I was sick, and could not eat anything solid without throwing it up.  God help me, but kombucha is absolutely gross.  It tastes like sparkling pickle juice.  *swallowing to stop myself from gagging*   No.  Just no.

On a related note, I'm still sick, but I have a little bit more energy today, and I managed to choke down 3 multi-grain crackers.  Yay!
