Bach is complex
A solo cello is simple
Yo Yo Ma playing cello in a forest is simply wonderful

@pippa going to be fun to follow you as they grow up
Fun for us. For you it will be hit and miss I’m sure. :)
@kai Kurt Elling is phenomenal! Some years back a friend heard him live and then gave me a CD. I hadn’t heard of him either, even though I’m also from Chicago, but I’ve been a huge fan ever since.
Made a terrine and tried some this morning. Pork mince with herbs, strips of pork belly, pork liver, chicken liver, homegrown shiitake mushrooms, wrapped in bacon. Made for quite a nice breakfast. Took most of the day on Wednesday to prep and assemble everything then give it a nice hot water bath.
Dinner tonight is the terrine along with some red wine poached pears and other stuff.
@mdreid and I read that quote over and over in my mind. Wondering if a “drop” instead of “molecule” would work.
“A wasted mind is a terrible thing.”
