Not a bad time for a little peace of mind.
Jerzy Russian
I appreciate his songs, but Mr. Fogerty does not sing like he used to. Still I closed my eyes and had several minutes of bliss. I had most of their CDs, so it is off to find them in my iTunes library.
Jerzy Russian
@HumboldtBlue: I like that song. Man that takes me back.

Interesting read about the various ways we deal with the forced isolation.
Starfish
I was really disappointed how at how a number of the comments on Matarazzo’s tweet were stupid fat jokes because he does such a good job of this.

These posters made me happy.

Saw a hooded oriole on the yard today. Very colorful, with mostly orange/yellow feathers and black wings. Apparently they nest here (San Diego) for the summer, after spending the winter in Baja. They seem to like palm trees for their nests. This one was only passing through, unfortunately for me.

For the first time in its history, Coast Guard Sector Humboldt Bay flew an all-female helicopter crew.

Where is Amir? I’m enchanted by this recipe and I’m curious if Nigella gets at least close.

If any of you jackal gamer-types are interested in trying out Final Fantasy XIV, please ping me! I can pass on bonus codes that give goodies for invitees and inviters.
If any of y’all are playing and on the Aether data center, ping me! I’ve been running maps, ocean fishing, crafting up a storm, and even dipping my toe into savage raiding.
(Ocean fishing is SO MUCH FUN! Got my Au Ra boy in his jeans, Uggs, beanie and sweater. Last night I hit 10k points for the shark mount.)

first thunderstorm of the year here north of Boston. Or is that bombing runs?

@Yutsano:
That looks about right for masak lemak, but I’ve never before seen it done with eggs like that.

John Prine – “Speed of the Sound of Loneliness” (Live)
John Prine – The Other Side Of Town
One of the great songwriters. Has fought cancer at least twice, worked hard to sing again. Was going to be touring this spring and summer.
The news says he’s fighting the c-virus tonight.

@chris:
chris, those are delightful! thank you.

On the lighter side of darker times –
While not recommending it as a preventive measure, in a pinch there’s this.
;)

@Yutsano
That’s a lot of fuss for poached eggs.
:)
Yutsano
@Amir Khalid: I saw some that suggested ayam, which I would be all about as well.
@NotMax: Heh. Still might be worth it. Plus I don’t have to cook just eggs in it.
NotMax
@Yutsano
Far from halal but could see braising spare rib tips and finishing them in the sauce.
Possibly even poaching scallops in it.
Mnemosyne
I just want to brag that I was lucky enough to meet Richard Sherman, the co-writer of the original song, and he was quite possibly the nicest person I’ve ever met.
catclub
It seemed to me that if Fogerty really did record that outside, that is great mic work.
It sounded much more like in a studio.
Yutsano
@NotMax: I can’t see how beef ribs would be haram in that. Plus Muslims can eat shellfish so the scallops should be fine too. Now you got me thinking dammit! :P
NotMax
@Yutsano
Had pork spare rib tips in mind, but six of one, doubled three of the other.
NotMax
@Yutsano
You’re in Seattle, right? Has the Pike Place Market put the kibosh on fish tossing?
Ohio Mom
Mary Chaplin Carpenter — where has she been? Nice to see her again.

I am gutted and am holding John and Fiona Prine in the light.

Anne, thank you for leaving that link to the Bobi Wine song the other day, https://twitter.com/i/status/1242850597067542531
i included it in a newsletter i regularly send to 200 clients and friends. one of my clients conducts research in Africa, and was just finishing up a 12-page report to his 80 researchers there, on what they can do to inform people and also stay safe. he included the very link you posted, as part of his report.
so, if i may say so, it’s sort of like from your fingertips to Africans’ ears! all within a few days, when time is the scarcest commodity.
Yutsano
@NotMax: Still open, but it’s more get the stuff then get out. Most of the fish tossing is for show however it is how they get the fish from one side of the shop to the other so…maybe. You just can’t stop and see it.

Does anyone accidentally (or on purpose) sometimes get slapped with a large trout?
