where you flip the tiles to make a match.

copper - silver - gold

look what marian did in her science class today

this video shows a similar process,

though marian's class heated the silver penny

with an open flame

joni

do you love joni mitchell?

i do.

especially this album

{listen for james taylor's guitar on all i want, california, & case of you}
{stephen stills plays bass & guitar on carey}

i have always loved her song little green,

and knew there was something cloaked there.

love lost, the details of which i didn't totally get.

since i lived under a rock

back when this was in the news,

i am just now discovering the story

hidden within this tender song:

before she was famous,

when she was young and broke and alone,

she put her tiny daughter up for adoption.

listen to how similar their voices are

in the last line of the live version below,

she sings kelly green instead of little green.

kelly was the name she gave her baby,

born just two years prior to this performance

kelly green, be a gypsy dancer.

brussels sprouts

i've mentioned these before,

but, dang, they're so good

it bears repeating.

brussels sprouts + olive oil + salt + pepper

375° for about 20 minutes.

kool & the gang

get down on it was on the radio the other day.

i've had kool & the gang on my mind ever since.

{watch for michael jackson singing along in the front row at 2:52}
