Bella Ciao: Pink Martini rendition

Image
Bella ciao | Pink Martini ft. Storm Large - Live with Lyrics 6.54 hours of sleep! Imagine what happens if one has no YouTube, goes to bed early AND has no wildfire smoke blowing in. On top of all that, the sleep mellowed out some serious leg aches. FUN.

Bella Ciao: Dutch tenors

Image
Wha't with the horse drawn carriages???? Bella Ciao - The Dutch Tenors LIVE @ Friesian Proms 4:18 hours of sleep.  In three spurts under GLORIOUS new sleeping bag But NOTHING like 300ppm wild first smoke rolling in in the middle of the night. I needed a mask just to walk to breakfast. Air purifiers came out all over Lazy F and wind blew the smoke levels down quite a bit. But TIRING to breathe and ZERO desire to move very far.

One more Bella Ciao

Yummy sounding enchilada recipe

SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH HATCH GREEN CHILE: Delicious Recipe  4:20 hours of sleep. For some reason not as much ache as sometimes. Maybe going to bed earlier has something to do with it.

Onion Soup made the long way with beef broth and home carmelized onions. Thank you Julia Child

Image
The BEST I've Ever Had: Julia Child's French Onion Soup CPAP says 5:12 hours of sleep. I think that counts the clock turning over at noon yesterday. I felt well enough rested but I still have a mean-to-do list. I am not exercising enough. Sigh.

Bella Ciao in 10 Languages HD still looking for the more traditional version of this song, but collecting LOTS of samples off YouTube 6:16 hours of sleep. Thank you going back to bed even though I did not finally get up untill 11:07.

Auditioning a new earworm. BelleaCiao bella Ciao

Bella Ciao - ORIGINALE 4:02 hours of sleep Thanks to a certain on a certain bullet that apparently did not get fired, I decided to look up what the internet has to say about Belle Ciao. This version appears to be the anti-fascist version, not an older one. There are several versions to be collected. My Italian is not quite non-existant and my grasp even less of layers of irony, cultural context and whatever else gets memefied in modern media. So we will see what else the internet can serve up. An interesting history including the part about this song being sung in protest of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and about Gaza

Mahogany cake featuring BUTTERMILK

Image
ONpersonal criteria for recipe interest: does it contain buttermilk. IN this case, Yes  Mahogany Cake Recipe — The Elegant Classic That Came Before Red Velvet 4:00 hours of sleep. Needed to be out the door in time for a meeting so did not go back to bed. Day involved more walking than current average so I came home exhausted and with things hurting that are symptoms of the same things as recently. Good meeting as in unlike last year's budget cycle, I was not the only resident present. There were 4-5 in the room and 1-2 online. So Progress.

Nice easy cat groom. Cute cat

Some days are Lemons...And This Cat Proves It 4:30 hours of sleep. We will not discuss from when to when or what I missed. Clearly I need to work harder at going to bed at a reasonable hour.

Entertaining casserole vid fora recipe I would mess with dramatically

Image
Chicken and Dumplings Casserole - Easy Main Dish original recipe solidgospel.com  I totally believe in citing an original recipe, no matter how severely I tweak. This recipe DESPERATELY needs some spices and some vegetables such as mushrooms, peas, carrots, onions CELERY This channel also definitely does product placement.

This week in global vulcanism

Image
This Week in Volcano News; Iwo Jima Erupts, Kilauea Lava Fountains 5:08 hours of sleep. I really love this narrator's speech pattern and volcanoes are SO refreshing, They can spew and spew and I feel no moral imperative one way or another, only the glory of GOD and nearly pwoerlessness to do anything but study for humans. I went to bed early after taking an initial stab at CLEANING MY FLOOR. Will I feel like finishing it tonight? Maybe. A lot of trash out. A lot of recycling out. Massive rearrangement needed up to and including getting rid of a couch. It makes me feel tired just to hink about this even if I do it one step at a time. And still I get to persuade people that while I keep everything one foot away from all my heaters, 3 feet is NOT DOABLE. and besides, I NEVER TURN ON MY HEAT, like almost never. ONCE in 20 years in the bedroom and a handful of days in winter but not even every winter.

Tree

Image
My faithful tree late in the afternoon 5:58 badly needed hours of sleep Go almost nowhere except to hehlp a neighbor stow her groceries. Quaker meeting on zoom is weird. Sometimes just making the mental space matters. Sometimes there are nuggets. Sometimes the mute button mixes God with other necessities Happy Sunday world.  

Raging Grannies on the President

Mr.Tangerine Man 4:30 hours of sleep. I am tired of wildfire smoke. I know that is repetitive. Breakfast at McD's. Mleah but expedient. 5 hours hanging with a delightful service dog and a bunch of passionate advocates.

A Strange Thing Is Happening Beneath North America 4:18 hours of sleep and all the laundry done before bed rocks. Also gathered a ton of paper recycling up last night to take out this morning. having an almost functional computer at home is such self care. And little by little it is gettin housetrained / set up properly. I still have fingers that go awry on the keyboard and I have not gotten out the new keyboard and mouse. but little by little.  Now about the topographic floor grime and taking the actual trash out. The trash may happen tonight and say prayers that things are more presentable by INSPECTION time on Monday. Other than that I get to experiment with a new bag. Existing purse has too many techno relics like a magnifier and gasp a paper checkbook. Theese don't ffit well in current purse but the trial models both seem too big. Such problems     

Pecans and chocolate chips, but not mint julep flavors?

Image
Dumplings in Heinz Tomato Soup 1960s–70s Thrifty UK Classic I was looking for a better recipe than a salt and grease bomb casserole on another channel. Sigh. I like this guy's style, and whatever flavor of British accent is highly entertaining. 4:20 minutes of sleep. It's not quite fall enough for long sleeves, but air is dry and crinkly.
