Shrimp and kohlrabi greens

The greens from two kohlrabi
4 slices of bacon
1 shallot
salt and pepper
a squeeze (one wedge) of lemon

Cut ribs out of kohlrabi, stack leaves, and slices into ribbons (like you would basil). Cut bacon into small pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon and onions until bacon is cooked and onions begin to brown. Add kohlrabi ribbons to skillet, saute until wilty like spinach. Add a squeeze of lemon to reduce bitterness and season your greens with salt and pepper. Use as a base for your shrimp skewers.

Rainbow Berry Pound Cake

Prepare pound cake as recipe dictates. Grease and four your pan. Fill pan with batter 2/3 full, then spoon blobs of jam onto cake. Top with remaining 1/3 batter. Use a spatula to make swirls like you would with marble cake. Bake. Once cool, top with powdered sugar frosting tinted in three fun colors. Top with sprinkles.

Fairy Orchid

My dendrobium peguanum was doing well enough, I separated a little cluster and am growing it in a fairy sized hanging planter with a pinch of my living sphagnum moss. We will see how he does over the next week.

Modern Yodeling

Yodeling is the voice being used as a musical instrument, whereby singers are able to change from the vocal register to the head register. A singer voices a pitch in the falsetto register on releasing a note. These songs are not similar to their Alpine counterparts, but they are charming all the same.

Musical Artists and Beards

Over time beards, mustaches, and sideburns have gone in and out of style, been grown to new extremes, and taken on larger-than-life personas that have even overshadowed the men to whose faces they’re attached. And in this current era where business wants a clean face, it’s only fitting that I run through 50 years of some of the finest, most iconic facial fur I can remember.

Skinny White Boys

Poor, hungry, skinny, and on drugs. These boys paved the Highway to Hell with sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

2x2

Harmony is the blending of simultaneous sounds of different pitch or quality, making chords. Melody is the rhythmical combination of successive sounds of various pitch, making up the tune. With four members each, these perfectly balanced bands are able to use the variety of vocal qualities to create some beautiful music together.
