Wow. I had always heard the term Typhoid Mary, but never really knew what it referred to, and never bothered to look it up. Wow. What a situation. As for Paella, haven't had that in a while. Might have to dig up my old recipe.

I thought Typhoid Mary was a very apropos posting to make in these virus-focused times.

Five octaves is a hell of a range. I didn't know Mariah has such a range.

No homework day is a great day to celebrate. I never looked forward to doing homework Poor Typhoid Mary. Two decades in a hospital quarantine. If only she had washed her hands
