@steve-miller Apparently Ethan Gontar makes those “Irish” videos with AI. Which is disappointing to me. I’d rather have humans make art/music.

It’s great to have good options! I don’t…

@bernard Looks great, and I can taste it in my imagination! I haven’t had that in decades…

Looking forward to seeing him sing it on tour. I’ll go look for an Irish version, too; thanks for the heads up!

In the same vein, Soldier of Fortune co-written by Mary Gauthier and Eliza Gilkyson.

I like Gilkyson’s a bit better, here it is on FB but I can’t find one on YouTube: FB link

@deweylou Great feature; thank you for representing Christianity in a meaningful way.

I hadn’t heard of the Seven Mountains Mandate before. Sorry to say they appear to be making headway on those seven mountains.

What happened to our America First isolationist stance?

@realplayer I love that soft blue; it’s very elegant.

I wouldn’t put up curtains that block the whole bay window; the geometry of the bay window adds so much to the look of the room. Top down bottom up blinds that fit inside the window frame? They can be room darkening/insulating, or not. Mine are sheer. I love light!

Just got home last night. 9 days went by really quickly! Madrid and Alicante. More later.

I’ve spent many summers watering tomatoes and zucchini and getting 10 tomatoes and 6 zucchini for what feels like $100 in water and effort. I’ll just buy my produce, like Mik.

Interesting. I like canned peaches, packed in juice not syrup.

The same thing happened in the salmon industry, where we used to can, but frozen became the desirable thing. The industry seems to have adapted.

UGH. Small men, pretending to be gods. Terrible.

Can’t believe that snowstorm! It’s 40 and rainy at home in Portland. I’m in Madrid, and it’s sunny and 67. Lucked out!

Apple watch.

Amen to this. We know what we saw.

And on his birthday! Party on…

Our niece and nephew-in-law bought a house on Madeira (Portugal) and are renovating it. It’s an adventure!

That was very peaceful, perfect after a day running errands with my mom.

@Steve-Miller I love Samin Nosrat. I gave kiddo2 Salt Fat Acid Heat for Christmas, and I received her Good Things from Mr. AM.

Have you listened to her podcast, Home Cooking, with Hrishikesh Hirway? It started at the beginning of the pandemic, and it’s funny and enlightening.

A local theater is no longer showing this, because Amazon didn’t like their marquee marketing.

Read for the two marquees

I watched the FLOTUS movie on a flight home last Sunday. It was excellent, and gave me hope.
