Multidimensional

My friend with the multidimensional hair has achieved greatness in yet another way. Janelle Masters' song "It's Happening Now," as performed by Tom Schreck, is listed on Neil Young's website "Living with War Today."

Rutabaga Teaser

I realized that my earlier post about the rutabaga was vague and incomplete. What I meant to say was that I’d never had rutabaga until this January and that it turns a nice orange when cooked, magically deepening, and its taste is a wondrous combination of earthy potato, sweet carrot, and the slightest wacked edge of turnip. Rutabaga soup is perfect on a darkened winter’s eve – with barley, garlic, onions, a fine assortment of other root vegetables, and whatever else is starting to sprout in the refrigerator.

Steam is the common thread between trains and soup.

Diospyros Nikolaevich

I think it means we’ll have an early spring.

George Eliot, looking very patient.

And nothing like a horse, no matter what Virginia Woolf said.
