Sick and tired of your sourdough starter? Looking for your next culinary challenge? Here it is.
These are a creation of The Vulgar Chef. I’ll admit it; I’m intrigued.
Reporter Andrew Kimmel interviewed a Trump supporter, asking an important question: What’s the line that he would have to cross in order to lose her support? Her answer: “Commit adultery on his beautiful, classy wife.”
Is there anything Trump can do to make you lose support of him?
“Commit adultery on his beautiful, classy wife.”
What about Stormy Daniels?

Fact check: That fling with Stormy Daniels happened in 2006. Trump was a lot younger then — a mere lad at the age of (checks notes) 60.
There’s more of this interview on Twitter, and it’s a fascinating look into Trumpthink.

The synth I kept
Moving to another country requires you to seriously pare down your belongings. I brought only what I could fit in my previous car — Rhonda the Honda — which meant I had to be choosy with what I kept. One of the things I kept is my trusty Korg Wavestation A/D rackmount synthesizer.
Long before that fateful day when Karl Mohr and I took our accordions out on the streets of Toronto, I was a synth player, and my favorite synth was the Wavestation, which I bought from my friend, TV/film composer Steve Skratt back in 1992.
I played it during back at Crazy Go Nuts University, in our grungy, Faith No More-esque band, Volume…
…and after I graduated in all sorts of projects including providing sound effects and background music for my work making interactive CD-ROMS…
…to synth jam sessions, such as the time when Steve Skratt, Karl Mohr, and I were part of the group providing the music for the book launch of The Lion in the Room Next Door, which was written by Karl’s mother, Merilyn Simonds:
As I’m in the process of reviving some old computers of mine and bringing them back to active duty, I’m also bringing the Wavestation A/D back to life. Expect to hear it sometime soon.
If you’re curious about what the Wavestation A/D can do, check out this video, which provides a grand tour of this classic synth:
On Monday night, someone decided to help themselves to the bike rack outside Whatever Pops and Bowls, the gourmet popsicle/gelato/acai bowl/coffee place on Florida, just a couple of blocks south of Hillsborough. In the process, they smashed one of their storefront windows.
Things are already tough for businesses during the pandemic, and the last thing Whatever Pops needs is an unexpected expense like this. Let’s all show them a little love, give them a little business, and pick up a popsicle, gelato, bowl, or coffee sometime this week.
In case you need a little tempting, here’s a list of their popular flavors:
- banana coconut
- chocolate sea salt
- coconut lime
- earl grey lavender lemonade
- orange cream
- pineapple banana veggie (no sugar added)
- pineapple cilantro
- salty chocolate elvis
- strawberry lime
- strawberry mango
- strawberry pineapple pomegranate
In case you were curious, my favorite is the Salty Chocolate Elvis, which is also the name of my next band.
