Misheard Lyrics of Arethra Franklin

Did any of you ever think Arethra Franklin sang “unnatural” instead of “a natural” in the song “A Natural Woman?” Didn’t it change the meaning of the song just a bit? Indeed.

The Things That Keep Me From Fomenting Revolution

I’m pretty darn sure that if I didn’t have some hobby I’d be out in the streets fomenting revolution. Past periods of prolonged idleness for me goes a long ways towards explaining the crises of 2007, 2017, and 2019. We surely don’t want a recurrence of those troubled times. I know I don’t.

So, I’ve taken up cooking in a big way. This, of course, means purchasing wagon trains full of kitchen gizmos. Untold numbers of thingamabobs necessitate organzing on the level of a NASA space launch.

There, this is how I kept my self busy. This is how I kept our glorious republic strong and at peace.

And now, some of my kitchen gadgets and foodstuffs and how they’re organized.

What world peace looks like

Deep Thought Man Ponders Geometry Proofs

In the interests of full disclosure, I was rather good in mathematics in general and in geometry in particular. However, after my 17,223rd geometry proof my naturally effervescent outlook on life dimished somewhat.

My Kitchen Gizmos – For Ravioli

Good heavens, ravioli sure taste yummy. Homemade ravioli are even tastier. But gosh, making the pasta for the ravioli completely by hand is so time time consuming and leads to pasta with uneven thickness. That’s why I like my ravioli gizmos.

Look at the picture below. The hand-crank pasta machine is second to the left. Feed pasta in at the top. Turning the crank will turn out a pasta sheet on uniform thickness. The extra attachment on the far left helps make spaghetti.

The ravioli mold is on the right. It yields 21 small and even ravioli. It also makes assembly much easier.

And remember, spending money of gizmos isn’t frivolous when the gadgets are for the kitchen.

TIDBITS
­
1) At the first Iowa Caucus, the Iowa Strawberry Growers Association (ISGA) made a mad attempt to showcase their strawberries to the nation. In return the “strawberry candidates” wore strawberries on their lapels. Political analysts counted strawberries distributed to determine the ISGA’s strength. This was the first strawberry poll. Strawberry poll got shortened to straw poll to save newspaper ink. Now you know.
