During the Middle Ages in Europe, eel was a popular Christmas dish consumed across the continent. In Spain, it was customary to include eel in Christmas meals. Italy showcased a variety of eel preparations, with different regions favoring distinct cooking methods. Notably, eel held significance among the seven fish dishes traditionally served on Christmas Eve, known as the “pranza di Natale.”

In the nineteenth century, the rivers and streams of Poona (now Pune) in India were abundant with fish. From mid-June, when the southwest monsoon arrived, until the end of October, the water bodies swelled. As the rains ceased, the waters gradually receded, forming pools interconnected by gently flowing streams by March. Some of these pools were extensive, deep, and rocky, providing secure habitats for fish.

A significant explosion rocked Fort Worth this week, transforming downtown streets into scenes reminiscent of an action movie and unfortunately resulting in injuries and fatalities. First responders and local officials quickly converged on the Sandman Hotel on Houston Street on Monday afternoon after a blast shook the building, causing debris and rubble to spill onto the streets.

According to reports, at least 11 people suffered injuries of varying degrees, and one person has been reported dead. The ongoing cleanup effort is underway. Preliminary information from fire officials suggests that a gas leak may be the cause, although a thorough investigation is still in progress.

The extent of the damage is apparent, with two floors of the high-rise hotel completely destroyed. It is fortunate that the casualties were not more severe, considering the magnitude of the destruction.

Residents in the immediate area report the pervasive smell of gas, heightening concerns as they strive to unravel the circumstances leading to this incident. There are indications that construction work may have been underway at the hotel, adding another layer to the ongoing investigation.

In celebration of his Golden Globes triumph, Paul Giamatti opted for a humble burger and fries over an extravagant dinner, heading straight to In-N-Out after the awards ceremony on Sunday evening. The well-dressed actor, sporting a suit, enjoyed his meal at the popular fast-food joint in Westwood, with his gleaming Best Actor trophy for ‘The Holdovers’ proudly displayed beside trays of food. The laid-back moment was captured in an Instagram snap shared by writer Evan Ross Katz, who remarked, “Paul Giamatti celebrating his Golden Globe win at In-N-Out. King. Absolutely no notes.” This low-key sighting followed Paul’s earlier onstage spotlight as he received accolades during the awards ceremony.
