Dusty Chalk

Didn't make it to see Stanley Whitaker at a winery doing his thing, which is always great, but got to listen to some of his music with some friends as well as some Happy the Man, so life's good.

Alchemy of Souls, this show is ridiculously great. one of the most touching moments is when one of the characters says, "pffft". I am completely serious -- I practically burst into tears.

Andrew Tate, human trafficking scum

As He Do

Me and my mood: I hope you are doing well with your funny looking cat.

OMFG, I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard, why are fart jokes so goldang funny?!?!?

Was: Leftover Chinese Takeaway (Chicken Szechuan and Szechuan String Beans -- my mothers favourite, except she found a place that would do Szechuan Asparagus -- I settled, but was happy all the same) Is and will be: home-made chicken and beans soup that is super delicious

Happy Birthday! (party favour noise)

Was: Eggrolls with Chinese hot mustard Will be: Ma Po Tofu

I made soup: chicken, beans (too many, they didn't all fit), chicken broth, celery, potatoes, various other soup vegetables, simple spices (black pepper, red pepper, dill weed, 3 green onions chopped, garlic (almost forgot -- had two helpings before I remembered to add), small can of hot jalapeños) and that's it. No oil this time. Smells even better than the previous batches, tastes friggin' delicious. One small can of hot peppers amongst all that food didn't overwhelm the other flavours, just added a nice little amped up bite to it.

Dusty got his Chinese takeaway, Dusty is happy.

Did we really invent eggnog?

This would be me (the da ^), if I had children.

Truff now make a variety of Truffle-based products outside of their hot sauce range, I imagine they'd be alright (I've only ever had their hot sauces and pasta sauces): https://www.truff.com/products/truff-black-truffle-oil?variant=39291221639302 https://www.truff.com/products/white-truffle-oil?variant=39932774842502 https://www.truff.com/products/truffle-salt?variant=40001193803910

One of four families? I never knew...NTTAWWT...

I literally just posted elsewhere that his version (seen him live regularly on his December circuits) of Carol of the Bells is one of the few examples of Xmas music I can stand. I could have taken this video -- this angle is literally what I remember most about him -- always tried to get a seat slightly to stage right so that I could see him play. What's funny is that my style of improvising on the piano is very similar -- I distinctly remember that feeling of "running out of keyboard" at the top and just playing the same riff over and over until I could figure out a way to unpaint myself out of the corner. 😆

Yup, there's Year of the Cat, Time Passages, and...uh... ...oh wait, there's the live album. Okay, that's all I know.

More Colourfield: https://album.link/74mh26q4cpw2n More Terry Hall: https://album.link/tcwv0ksqhrjgz Such a brilliant songwriter. RIP

Oh my gosh, you are in for such a treat -- it just gets better and better. It's not perfect, but it's so superior to so many other things in so many other ways, that those minor missteps are easily forgiven. Me: watched season 1 of The Devil's Hour -- what a great show, but I need more, like, yesterday.

This song is amazing, thanks for sharing, will check the rest of the EP out.
