Happy Birthday, DOTU(R)! (party favour noise)

Shepherd's Pie...sort of -- used ground turkey instead of lamb and beef culinary stock, but otherwise...NAILED IT! It came out delicious. Didn't overwhelm with any one particular spice (I'm looking at you, the usual suspects garlic and black pepper), but it was sweet and savory and the carrots came out perfectly al dente...just...(chef's kiss)... Yes, I realize I'm kissing myself.

I have no idea how she did not get flour all over her black top, so I just watched this very carefully 13 times in a row, to see if I could spot the trick: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qN4a6kCI_t8 ...oh well, on to number 14...

Shepherd's Pie from Dogfish Head Alehouse

Egad, that's chilling. He is so full of himself, he actually believes he's righteous, he actually believes he can decide the fate of the lives of millions, if not billions. "...we might as well get it over with..." == "...final solution..." of Nazi Germany.

You need a turkey crossing sign. Maybe. It's not like they're in your way or anything, so maybe not.

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

She's a treasure. Every time I've seen her live, she's been great. First time was touring Life on a String, then the show right after 9/11 when she did effectively the same set as on the live album, Live in New York aka Live at Town Hall, and then once at the Birchmere where she had technical difficulties and she was STILL great. I actually just quoted the grits section of New Jersey Turnpike to a group of people from the South that were arguing for and against grits.

Indeed. I almost left off the indefinite article.

Used Gemini to fix and update my Ubuntu server. At one point, I had a great success, so I told it, "(party favour noise)", and it responded, "(confetti cannon fires)", LOL.

Happy birthday, Colin! (party favour noise) 🥳

I enjoyed watching this guy go apoplectic: Definitely microtonal.

What a coincidence -- someone on Facebook asked where we first heard Kate Bush -- several of us answered the same: her appearance on SNL -- you say 'transfixed', I said 'mesmerizing':
