Call any vegetable by name...
I looked quite carefully, but it seems like nobody has yet mentioned "totalitarian lentils". Tragic.
As we all know Garden is (for good reasons) an anagram of Danger! - yes! it's a jungle out there...
..and yet we have sadly omitted from the new nomenclature of food culture yer common or garden Despotatoes (informally: Dick Taters) and their fractional offshoot faction Fascist Fries... (coated in a Reliable Red Sauce)
A tasty treat with Blue-Collar Cheese and Plebeian Peas with Lashings of Greens and The Great Unwashed Mashes, natch!yrs hungrily

New Music/Culture Media...
I like this new model internet mag format - diverse content mix Disco Underworld
NB: opens at start of Jody Lloyd article, read thru, vote, then check it out from the front - articles on Anita Ratcliffe Kiwi Music Photographer and others, a random grab bag of cultural artifacts...
- I'm digging the nifty page turning effect and zoomable High Res pages, plus interactive click thru for video and stuff, but feels like a mag, not over slick - yet still funky...
..niceyrs periodically

SLOW - food ahead!
I refer you to the excellent magazine Resurgence and an article from their excellent food issue last year (though all issues have much to offer the thinking and consuming biped...and also I recently discovered a stack of the Italian Slow food magazine at the local market - (production values to dream of) but far ranging content..

Ya can't go past these fine foods by master chef Giovanni - never one to mince words... :- )Tequila Mocking Worm...
I was Gobi-smacked that these inveterate invertebrate molesters would go to such great lengths to tape worms, sustained I guess on a diet of Bangers and Mash or maybe Nematode-in-the-hole......let them strut and fret across the Mongolian wastes ... we all know

Er, Hunt was Speaker of the House; in the UK, that's pretty much an automatic peerage
Seems to be the case here, too...

aside from Margaret Wilson who got the new Knight-Lite DCNZM - ain't nothin' like a Dame! - and has nobly stuck with it!
..and of course dear Jonathan's elevation beyond the rank of taxis to ONZThe Myths of Sir Lockwood
(from the 2035 edition of Berks Peerage)A well known after-DNA speaker, Alexander Lockwood Smith and his bride Alexandra (known affectionately as the "Double-Alex") made his mark by seemingly speeding up parliamentary procedure - also referred to as the "slaying
of the drag-on".
The untimely death of his protege Michael Jackson began his "Annus horribilis", followed in August by the storming and month-long occupation of parliament by irate beneficiaries which knocked his confidence considerably - His birthday falling on a Black Friday that year did not help either - then the rapid dissolution of the United States and and Rise of Emperor Limbaugh threw the world into a tailspin - by this time Sir Lockwood (also known in some circles as the Knight of the Long Turds) was just going through the motions...
National's crushing defeat by the reformationist New Values Party (in a coalition with the Pate Party's Tiberius Goose) in 2011, heralded a brief golden age in New Zealand - unfortunately overshadowed by the return of Planet Nbiru in early 2012 and the massive paradigm change that ensued.
The Duchy of Rodney-beyond-the-super-city-walls (where Sir Lockwood retreated to, post Parliament) was obliterated in an asteroid strike on his birthday in November 2013.yrs scatter-logically

Sequestered carbon in a bottle... no pressure!
Now Rusty did ya know that SodaStream ©TM is owned worldwide by Soda-Club which is an Israeli company owned in turn by the Israeli investment company Fortissimo Capital this seems to be their only "wet ware" venture the rest seems to be software - their SodaStream manufacturing plant in the occupied West Bank has already raised protests in Sweden, they may have opened another one in Ashkelon recently... the CEO's background in Nike, Pillsbury and Procter & Gamble speaks volumes for their ambitions...
So I'm afraid they're something I won't be purchasing while Israel maintains the stance it currently does...yrs locally

Beer, Bread and Marmite... yum!
My next project is making yeast
Well, you're gonna be a fungi to be with : )
Grab your partners and join the dance of yeast.
I'd never realised how brutal Marmite production was - those Seventh Day Adventists sure as hell ain't running a Sanatorium!Watch out for those Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans!
...and like yeast us "poached" eggs like a little vinegar too : )

...justification for spouses traveling on the public purse
I still remember the manager at The Bondi Lifesaver (in Sydney, natch!) telling the band that their girlfriends/partners couldn't be put on the door list because : "Get real, this is a job sonny, you don't take your wife to work, do you? If they want to come in, they pay like everyone else." Makes sense really...
(and I guess they probably had all those kick backs to make, to get around the fact that they were licensed as a wine bar, to hold 180 approx people, and were in fact a major rock gig - never saw a cop there... ; - )yrs practically
