I'm new to Wegovy (my first month), and I noticed this being advertised at Waffle House.
I just tried it, and it's delicious. I appreciate that a place like Waffle House is making an effort to have one dish appeal to a different demographic while still staying true to what it's always been.

Is this one giant ant colony?
I thought someone dumped sand until I got a little closer, and saw ant trails all over this mound.

What are some online retailers for international and foreign-language books?
eBay is usually my go-to for secondhand books, followed by AbeBooks and ThriftBooks. Amazon is convenient for new releases, but it rarely carries the kind of titles I'm looking for.
There's a specific book I've been trying to track down, but it's been especially difficult. It's a recent release in a fairly niche market, and the fact that the author is sanctioned doesn't help with availability.
Does anyone know of good online retailers that specialize in international books, particularly Russian titles aimed at a global audience?
