Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just have to say...organic strawberries, vanilla soymilk, and Nature's Party Multigrain Oatbran cereal is a great mix for the morning when you're too lazy to actually wait for steel cut oatmeal to be done cooking. Mmm.

Speaking of lazy, I finally wasn't and got off my ass long enough to shear my locks. Back down to 3mm. Weirdly, I'd gotten used to playing with it.

Skipping right at the end of shabbat because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Nicole's birthday.

Happy birthday, Nicole! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Well, the cookbook I have calls it David Eyre's Pancake, which is what Claiborne called it in that article. If the hippies had called it a dutch baby, I wouldn't have said that.

Oh, I get you. It kind of pinged me at first as being sort of like claiming banana bread as a particular person's creation. But the path from Craig Claiborne to hippy dippy cookbook is interesting its own self.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The hippy cookbook is this one: [link] It's good times. There's a whole section on fiddlehead ferns! And making your own butter!

“Not dead yet!”

In the Good Eats episode on popovers, Alton talks about Dutch babies in his own inimitable fashion and I believe credited the moniker for them back to the Original Pancake House owner who was looking for a variation on a theme of German pancakes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm watching it now. It's hard to stay focused when I have the option of pausing and screaming at shit.

I've only encountered them in Canada.
