    Spectacular! We’re scheduled to visit Iceland next year. I’ll definitely check out the food walk.

    @Rontuner Standing Rock Farms https://www.google.com/search?q=standing+rick+farms&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#ebo=0 It’s surrounded by a couple of dozen wineries. We don’t usually care much for Ohio wines (most are very sweet) but two really stood out: At Debonne we tried Traminette - a first. Very nice! Great flower gardens too, even in October. https://www.debonne.com/ M Cellars is a very simple setup but gets some of the highest ratings in the valley. I can see why - rather than only trying to get French grapes to grow here they’re growing grapes from cold places like Republic of Georgia. Like Rkatsiteki. This one needs a name change - like canola oil. Deserves wider recognition but no one can pronounce it. One of the oldest grape varieties in the world. https://www.google.com/search?q=Rkatsiteki.&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari https://www.mcellars.com/

    Well I knew what it meant, if not how to spell it.

    My theory of mind of Jeffrey Sachs is he feels so guilty for imposing shock therapy on the former Soviet Union that in recompense he’s decided to parrot their propaganda for the rest of his life.

    A chef friend served caprese sticks on his boards. Cherry tomato, a basil leaf and cheese on a stick. He used branches from a rosemary bush for the stick and left a few needles on. Kinda fancy, nice colors at Christmas.

    There was a time in the US when people decided they needed a truck in suburbia. They still buy them in droves and stilll think nothing of the cost of fuel during both an energy crisis and an inflation crisis. Stupid.

    Jared Kushner is pushing back on a report involving a hacked iPhone, international spies and billion-dollar transfers from foreign governments. An upcoming book by journalist Matthew Cole claims Kushner, who is President Trump's son-in-law, had access to more than $2 billion in "slush money funds" from Middle Eastern leaders in an attempt to influence U.S. foreign policy. An excerpt of the book released Thursday details allegations encompassing Kushner's time as a senior White House adviser during the first Trump administration, which included a lead role in U.S. policy in the Middle East. Kushner had a major hand in negotiating key foreign policy deals that involved Israel, the Gulf states, China and Russia during that period. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/kushner-pushes-back-report-involving-133251393.html Here's the Vanity Fair excerpt from the book.

    Not to underestimate the freedom to vote and of expression, it is the accountability of people in power that is important. They should be accountable both during their period of office and when that office ends.

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/317203317628 Madonna, Italian Vogue, Steven Miesel One of her best magazine covers. There are many of this quality for Vogue and Vanity Fair. Some of them are as good just different. This photograph is stunning when you see it apart from the cover, with its coloring unfiltered. I wish I could show you the photographs inside this magazine, but photographs are arranged in such a haphazard way on the Internet toda Everything is based on brand promotion, and you find bits and pieces. In the old days, all of this was categorized methodically by fans on sites where you could look at every magazine cover and every magazine photograph, arranged chronologically. Those sites don't exist now. I'll catalog my favorite magazine covers for comparison at some point. $700 asking price?!
