Andrew & Amy took me out for a Father's Day celebration last night, since we'll see my dad today. A nice restaurant in Burlington MA called The Treasury. Restaurant sub-title is Indian and Greek Restaurant (!) but 1) on the online order form there is little to no Greek food, and 2) last night was a limited menu anyway, all Indian. Everything was delicious though! Beet w/Goat Cheese appetizer, 3 variations on curry dishes (2 chicken, one paneer), garlic naan, a mango lassi, and rasmalai dessert. Good food, great company.

Technically baking but I'm too lazy to go find that thread. Toasted coconut chocolate chip scones.

I saw him live at least 2, maybe more times back in the 90s. He's really great.

Sure, it's not for everyone. I discovered Junior Brown in '94. I immediately loved his retro country style and sense of humor. But his ability on the "guit-steel" is what completely sold me.

I didn't know there was an eclipse today.

I re-created my favorite scramble from Hummingbird Cafe. Swiss cheese, bacon, tomato, avocado, spinach and eggs of course. Left a little avocado for Maki, as she absolutely loves it.

A proper Kings Parade Rather than a faux king embarrassment.

Some pretty cool spacey-psych-groovy music from Japan

I have fond memories of having seen Nitzer Ebb exactly once. When that wobbly bassline started...

RIP Amanda Feilding, the Countess of Wemyss and March (aka Lady Mindbender). Now that’s an unusual life. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/science/amanda-feilding-trepanation-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.PE8.NOMJ.rmoGe_uOtZri&smid=url-share (gift article)

RIP Melissa Hortman, a state representative from Minnesota. Shot and killed in what was pretty clearly a targeted act of terrorism.

Batchelor stove top casserole.
