Eleanor Murray - Electric Sky
I just learned of this woman’s existence at Folklife this year and her debut album, For Cedar, has been on heavy rotation since. Viva Oly Folk!
If you’d listened to 2007’s cd project you would already know that this lady is awesome. I’ll post her song from there in a minute.
2 weeks agobeets & broccoli
I pretty much feel like it is impossible to cook beets in any way that is not delicious. Here was my foodsperiment from tonight’s dinner:
Slice up a large beet fairly thinly (about 1/4” slices), sautee for a minute or two with a little butter and a lot of garlic. Add broccoli, in bite-size pieces. Put some water in the pan, cover it, let it steam while you make spaghetti. When the pasta is done, throw it all together with some olive oil, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Yum! Also if you are like me you will revert to your 8-year-old self and use the beets as lipstick.

My second attempt at yogurt-making was a dismal failure. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. 1 month ago
This year’s Random Google Image Result for “sophie and eva’s birthday”.
Also, Wikipedia tells me that in Ethiopia today is celebrated as “Downfall of the Derg” Day. I would like to start using “derg” as a new family-friendly swear because it sounds like a race of aliens from Star Trek and also something that Liz Lemon would say on 30 Rock. But I won’t, because actually it was a military junta that killed and imprisoned tens of thousands of people in the 70s and 80s. Bummer!
Happy birthday, birthday buddy!
