A dude named Ludd. Follow along as I build and rebuild the Carbon Kitchen, my ongoing culinary experiment and experience in my backyard. Maybe some gardening. And the occasional rant. And a bit of RUSH when the mood strikes me. Okay, probably a lot of RUSH.

I love this version of Closer To The Heart, showing the Holy triumvirate doing the song through the years. Editing! Huzzah!

I sorely missed the old school calabrese dago food I grew up with in Southern Ontario. In fact, when were on our cross-country road trip last summer, I made sure to stop in a couple of my favourite places, including the pizza joint we probably ordered form once a week for decades. And it was exactly as I remembered it. Glorious.

Every" Single. One. It's kind of fascinating.

nostr:npub1e04udcmm2kdsvnhpnjc4waz76mg3hjn3e98y7cz8g2sdwh3dd7cs242y0j We have maybe 1/100th of the number of fast food franchises as the U.S. And I'm okay with that, as we almost never eat out.

nostr:npub1e04udcmm2kdsvnhpnjc4waz76mg3hjn3e98y7cz8g2sdwh3dd7cs242y0j We did get Popeye's. We went once. Meh. And there wasn't any black folk dragging out staff members by the hair, so it was a pretty boring experience.

Funny story: one of the families looking to rent our space wrote us a fucking novel, expressing their love for the community, wanting to grow roots, blah, blah, blah... He's a podcaster, and runs a men's circle something or other. Whe's a 'brethwave' instructor and also leads a women's circle something. And the best part was their kid's middle name that they felt the need to share with us - Steadyheart. Christ on the cross, there's not a hope in hell we pick them. Fucking podcasters.

Not too bad for a first time effort. I'll give it a few minutes to cool before the grand reveal.
