One of my favorite CDs of theirs is Brasil which introduced me to Brazilian artists Gilberto Gil and Djarvan. Their Christmas album is still high on my holiday playlists.

I always say, if you lack patience and or can't handle disappointment, don't take up gardening. You can do everything right and still have a bad harvest. We've been gardening on our one acre for 35 years through wet weather, drought and deer problems, but we persist. It's worth it 4 yrs like this.

Bought a beautiful American wagyu flat iron steak at Costco last Thursday, so a piece is going on the grill tonight. One of my favorite rubs for grilled beef is the California rub recipe I got from the NYT cookbook years ago. Thought I'd share with anyone interested. 🍽️

😂🤣 I don't remember reading about that one. I do remember enjoying the shoe incident in 2008 when an Iraqi journalist threw both his shoes at George Bush one of which would have hit him had he not ducked in time. 😂
