What elicits the most papal scorn?:
1. Saying “I’m more popular than Jesus.”
2. Saying “I’m more popular than God.”
3. Saying “I’m more popular than Thor and Zeus COMBINED.”
4. Live-saving and poverty-preventing contraception.
5. Raping little boys.
hint: It’s not #5.

Leonard Cohen may have been Canada’s answer to Bob Dylan, and he may have a devoted following. But he is not a cult figure. Here’s proof:
For some reason, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah has been playing in my head for the last few days. So I’ll banish it from there to here. To make sure it stays out, I’ll include five video performances from youtube.
Here’s the most popular youtube video of Cohen himself performing it:

Many thanks to the world’s greatest website, ukulelehunt, for announcing that UoGB is releasing two new albums. The Christmas album includes several terrific tracks they’ve made available for free as MP3s in the past as well as a good deal of new material, the other album is live. They offer free samples as well as an opportunity to pre-order the CDs at the link I’ve given.
At the same time you buy these two albums, you can also buy Will Grove-White and the Others. We bought our copy of it some time ago and it’s lived in our CD player ever since. Highest recommendation!

Tom Rubnitz’s Pickle Surprise:
Alton Brown’s Deep-Fried Pickles:
approximately 2 1/2 – 3 quarts peanut oil
1 quart dill pickles
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups cornmeal
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Place enough peanut oil in a 4 – 5-quart cast iron Dutch oven to come halfway up the side. Place over medium-high heat to fry at 390 – 400 degrees F.
Remove pickles from brine and quarter lengthwise. Pat dry with paper towels.
Pour buttermilk in a shallow dish. Mix cornmeal and salt in a separate dish.
Dip pickle spears, 1 at a time, first in buttermilk, then in cornmeal/salt, then repeat.
Carefully place each spear in hot oil and fry until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Fry 3 – 4 pickles at a time. Maintain constant temperature of 390 – 400 degrees F. Transfer pickles to cooling rack set over baking sheet. Cool 5 minutes.

I love music by Tori Amos. She has a great voice and can really play the piano. China was one of the first songs to introduce me to Tori’s work. It is a beautiful song that I enjoy singing along with. ENJOY!
