Good amount of snow here, I actually lost power for about 1-2 minutes earlier this a.m. But all good now. I've been worried about some friends and family in harder hit areas, but thankfully no one on my list lost power. My back deck has some nice blown drifts.....

For the New Englanders:

Pepperoni, mushroom and onion pizza

Quick paella (in a frying pan)

Steve loves to smile for pictures

Bacon, tomato, spinach, avocado and queso fresco omelet with fresh baked biscuits. I think I've mentioned before that I like my omelets on the darker side. Iced coffee with Irish Cream Liqueur to drink. Food coma incoming.

Danny sure could sing.

I read an article about the best breakfast burrito in the Bay Area and the winner had cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon, beef tallow tater tots, crema and avocado. I didn't have tots so I heated up some fries and then fried them in the bacon fat. Adding a bit of salsa as I eat. It's almost too decadent and I'm considering going back to bed.

I did this recipe today, and for some reason, made me think of French toast. Mostly the crispy outside and the soft inside. But also the sweetness. AQNEI5o45uP6-hbhQdgA4t3CyC5TSsM4mUb4R6fdezLunPXr5cpA9q2Cbw8VikSymhKZ53KycFP0EreG1IWczYRdhd5PEawtLiL-94RjhbVqKQ.mp4

Let's fucking do this.

We Like It Here by Snarky Puppy (2014) https://open.qobuz.com/album/aazibgbisyolb Example: Killer set. After some research this was a Live in Studio - which they filmed. So: Playlist. I do like me some snarky.

Confused because I think Michelle Trachtenberg died last year. She definitely missed this war. RIP Mr Sedaka. I'm pretty sure I was working at the Concord Pavilion the night he played there in 1977. My brother was the booking and marketing director and I had random jobs in the parking lot or handing out flyers for upcoming shows.

Leonard Nimoy died 11 years ago. Seen here with his '63 Buick Riviera. Bill Hicks died 32 years ago (technically yesterday). During his short but intense career, Bill languished in relative obscurity in the states but saw much greater success in the UK and Canada. This routine, taken from his Relentless special in the UK, is and will always be his greatest rant. The above is a cut down version because some evil-annoying-idiot-fucks keep copyright striking Bill's work. This rant wasn't really part of the Relentless material, but more an off-the-cuff riff that he improvised on stage and later turned into a routine. In 2004 or so I shared it with a friend who worked in marketing (web development, specifically) and she left the industry shortly thereafter. She's been a RN for 20 years at this point and couldn't be happier with her career change. I'm not saying ~3 minutes of Bill ranting was the impetus, but I strongly suspect it helped. Also shout out to Fila Brazillia for including this bit in its entirety at the end of "6ft Wasp" from their 1995 album Maim That Tune. The Brits were ahead of the curve on a great many things in the 90s and that included an appreciation for Bill Hicks and his very specific brand of excoriating comedy.

Heard this on the local college radio station the other day and kind of liked it. Need to look into them more.

Digging deeper into Courtney Marie Andrews. May Your Kindness Remain and the Covid-era Loose Future. Ex.

After 21 years we finally get a video (also is there a setting to not auto play the dailymotion videos?}

Pretty sure I have posted this before but, personally, I need to listen to it fairly regularly.

Last night. Absolutely delicious Birthday rib dinner at Al's place. Complete with chocolate cake and my favorite people!

Another one from a while back.

^^ This is the similar feeling to a woman I know and with whom I used to work. She would always say she is from Persia, not Iran. And that's because the government there defined what Iran is today...and she's not a part of that. I reached out to her today, she is happy and relieved that the leader is gone. Like many, she hopes it's a beginning of more freedoms for the people (and she has family there still). But like above, she still worries about the future depending on how things progress, and what "fills the void." I hope that things will progress for a better future for the people. But with people like Trump and Netanyahu influencing things, not so sure....

Does this clinch next year's Nobel Peace Prize?

Glad you enjoyed it! Pelageya has been one of my favourite singers for the past 10 years or so, she has a really good feel for the music and how to interpret it. She could be singing anything from Soviet love songs to new age pop and it all somehow sounds right. Singing in Portuguese, just because And back to Soviet love songs

Good luck to everybody in New England and elsewhere the snow is falling. Stay warm!

Nigella's Slow Roasted Garlic and Lemon Chicken

Snow Day - I don't have to do anything...

Those orange circles with squares in them represent over 1000 homes without power. So far [knock on wood] we're okay. Two friends of mine (85 and 89 years old) don't have power. Apparently their propane (heat) stove works to some degree without power, but in a very reduced capacity. I have the (dumb AF) color changing light bulb in an antique lamp. For some reason, it's super sensitive to voltage drops. It starts flickering way before anything else. I've nicknamed it "the canary" and kept it on all day. It's been steady for a few hours now, but I'm keeping an eye on it. I have not left my house today (I can't) but I did take a number of photos from various windows. I'll post them later. It's crazy. Things look like northern Scandinavia around here.

Stay safe!

Happy Birthday, Dan

Indulging my other hobby today, gonna record leftover salmon

The recipe I'm currently using and loving is similar, but even simpler. 2 cups self rising flour. I stick butter. I cup buttermilk. The self rising flour needs no added leveners and these biscuits rise quite tall. I use salted butter, because that's what I have. No pastry cutter though. I use a grater and grate the frozen stick of butter directly into the bowl of flour. I loosely distribute the butter and flour with my fingers, then add the buttermilk (I've also made my own with vinegar, but like the texture of buttermilk better). Same as your recipe, I'm careful to just incorporate and not overwork the dough. I'll usually fold it about 3 times after getting all of the flour hydrated by the buttermilk. Finish with the dough about 3/4" thick. And same as you, I use a biscuit cutter without twisting. I have a quite heavy round cake pan, and find they rise better in this 2" tall pan over a sheet pan. I just butter the bottom and sides. The large size biscuit cutter (about 3 1/2" diameter) takes about 18 minutes at 425 degrees. The next size down takes a few minutes less.

Claire has this powdered Buttermilk in the fridge for times she doesn't have fresh.

You can make cake flour out of AP flour by simply adding some cornstarch.

I managed to build few T2 in the past few years. Just sharing pics how T2 fits in Modushop Dissipante 400 enclosure. Many thanks to Mr. Gilmore and HC community
