Well. You had me at bomba. I've had only one, which came from Sullivan Street Bakery, and I almost died of joy. I enjoyed reading about them, and can't believe I live close to Unregular Bakery and didn't know it existed. I love your newsletter - it inspires me to want to know more about coffee grounds, and to see "It's Basic" and I'm thrilled at the thought of the general store! Thank you for such great informative writing!

Such informative and unusual reporting, Nina! I loved the piece about bomboloni....must see where I can find them in Boston. In addition the link to the article about Finns' "happiness" is wonderful, especially knowing your Mom. Thanks for that. Basic Income, as well. We must raise taxes on the super-wealthy as Biden has indicated, otherwise we are stuck with massive inequality. Voting is key.

Thank you so much for reading! I thought that was an interesting article re: Finnish happiness. I just did a little research, I think Kicco Italian Coffee in Boston has bomboloni. And according to this doc, I think there is some form of basic income in Cambridge. Happy bomboloni snacking!
