If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

Black and white looks good on her.
When Hillary Clinton was a child, she wrote to NASA asking how to become an astronaut. They wrote back saying, ‘girls could not be astronauts..’. So instead, she went on to become LIFE magazine’s Top Four Commencement Class Speakers for the Class of 1969, one of the TOP 100 Attorneys in the United States specializing in Women and Children’s concerns, The First Lady of Arkansas, The First Lady of the United States of America, a Senator for New York, a Presidential Candidate, Secretary of the United States of America and now one of the most influential and powerful women in American History and the world…and these are just to name a few.
How awkward for NASA.
But so proud of the Mama Bear!

OH MY GOD APPARENTLY TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE WAS AN OLD NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED
I THOUGHT THAT ALL THOSE GUYS IN SKYRIM HAD LITERALLY BEEN SHOT IN THEIR KNEES WITH ARROWS BUT I GUESS NOT
And at that moment, the foundation of that entire meme became something like this:
Oh, well that WOULD stop the adventuring wouldn’t it? Although a actual arrow to the kneecap would also do a equally effective job of doing that.
