Noble Dust

I've heard The Charcuterie Board is hard to get on and requires multiple very thorough interviews.

:chin:

How dare you steal my thunder. There's a joke in there about beans and flatulence, but I'm too ripped on caffeine right now to come up with it.

I need to know what I win before I wow you all.

If you're suggesting that couscous is not conscious I suggest starting a thread in the panpsychism sub-forum, if it existed. Also I think any fancy sa...

Sufficient for what? Is it the same sumac that the spice is derived from? I remember Poison Sumac being a rare but scary plant to look out for in Ohio...

This was my first question. Please name every bean in the soup, if there were indeed 16. It seems to me that there wouldn't be a lot of each bean. Kin...

Dinner was red lentil soup with pita bread and a couscous salad on the side. I'm quite proud of the salad. No recipe: pearl couscous toasted in olive ...

Your steak drop method is impressive in it's ingenuity, but you haven't answered my question, vis-à-vis, whether any salad remains post-drop. This is ...

Is there any salad left after the drop, or does it splay out willy-nilly atop the table top, spritzing dressing hither and thither, a drop landing in ...

:flower: I have not been photographing my endlessly fascinating iterations of cutting edge culinary experimentation and ingenuity. Perhaps I will grac...

Welcome back. Maybe I'll start posting again too.

The Upanishads Dune - Frank Herbert

Welcome back!

Hello my children.

I was hoping for more "The sloth looks north but catches it's foot on a vine. No blame if the perch is maintained."

This reads to me like an I Ching hexagram, or some such similar prognosis via divination, palm reading, etc. I've been sleeping in a bit too late rece...

Cheers, glad you enjoyed.

Nice. That's a weird one! You might like this. Ambient by way of spiritual jazz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ2NmjUdRYg

Vanilla ice cream gets a bad rap.

I'd suggest you're asking the wrong people by posting here.

You're welcome.

Classic. I'm not convinced Elizabeth Fraser is human. This is one of my favorites, from their oft-maligned final album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Interesting. How do you like it?

Seth Speaks - Jane Roberts Don't judge me...

Nice, Tim Hecker is classic.

I'd say "Video Unavailable" isn't an understatement or an overstatement; seems pretty accurate.

I heard this years ago at a friend's house in Chicago. I was weirded out at the time as I don't usually like spoken word, but it's haunted me ever sin...

:up: Nice; I know nothing about Georgian music.

Sounds about right. I would recommend Rkatsiteli or Krakhuna for amber wine, or Tsolikouri if you can find it, although it's from the west. Or if you ...

Non-existent. Are you visiting Georgia as well?

Woahhh, Windows XP. What a trip.

Pretty much exactly that.

Meal prep this week for dinner was chicken shawarma (marinated and cooked stovetop), a Turkish white bean salad recipe with tomato, parsley and lots o...

Nice, yeah, they're definitely music nerd albums. I like the transitional nature of Colour of Spring, sort of like Rubber Soul for The Beatles. Do you...

Worth checking out I think. Then there's Bark Psychosis, a seminal post rock band where Lee Harris played drums on their second album. Definitely some...

I haven't listened to any of it in a long time. I still love Spirit of Eden and The Colour of Spring as well. Do you know O.rang? Basically Talk Talk ...

I need to revisit that record. I'm sure we've discussed Talk Talk. Laughing Stock is my favorite album of all time.

Dude's first name was basically Jesus; give him a break, those are tough shoes to fill. He did what he could.

With classical in general I'm more focused on solo piano music, which a sizable portion of Ravel's small ouvre is made up of, so I'll recommend a few....

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

Yes, both are valid approaches and I think most artists probably engage in both to varying percentages. It's seems like a trite quote, but I've always...

Nice dude. Some cool guitar chords there. Sure, here's a few tracks from my bandcamp: Songs: https://matthewanderson.bandcamp.com/track/definite-form ...

I agree. The only differentiation I’m making is that I think the experience I’m describing in art is primary in the sense that it’s foundational metap...

Nice. Somewhat similar for me, took piano lessons from my mom who is a private piano teacher (one of two jobs) from about age 9 to 13, reached a high ...

Good technique. :up: you studied piano right? I didn’t know the Addinsell piece either, sounds interesting.

:gasp: and I thought my 9 not including EPs and bands was a lot for a hobbyist. Comfortable sharing any links? PM is fine. No worries if not.

Right, art doesn’t want to explain anything. What I’m suggesting is it can sometimes be like an immediate immanent experience of the reality that phil...

At this point, for me the most sublime experiences I’ve had of art feel like fleeting glimpses into the nature of reality that a lifetime of philosoph...

I pledge to only post my food escapades here, captain.
