Isn’t there a whole section of Julia child’s mastering the art of French cooking on brains

Dix points pour monsieur Bosiemoncrieff.
Sheep or calf brains with artechokes.

I remember a night in Montreal as a kid, going to a restaurant with my folks and my dad ordered calf’s brain. I didn’t try it but you don’t see brain on the menus much anymore. Well other than sweat meats ... maybe that’s code for brain?

When I was still in college, one weekend was spent in the "other" college town in the state and when the bars closed down at 2 AM, everyone would stumble to the Ox (name of the greasy spoon) for brains & eggs. I could not even think about eating something like that, schiit-faced or sober!

Is it just me or is that boob a little anatomically loose. Still a great afternoon at the national gallery.

Ok but not transcendent pizza for dinner

Royal opera looks great post renovation but the on-ramp to the upper bathrooms is still a bit reminiscent of construction. Feels hollow.

Never seen a Madonna with gold headgear before. It’s always lapis lazuli.

Maybe I’ll see more nat gall tomorrow. TBD.

Looks like a boob drawn by a man with limited boob experience.

I hope Mike is recovering further.

On my birthday February 9th, 1973-- the Grateful Dead played "Eyes of the World" for the first time at the Maples Pavilion, Palo Alto, CA, and on February 15, they broke out the second playing at the Dane County Coliseum, Madison, WI, after a 19-minute "Dark Star."

I pulled together my condensed shows into two hours, for my listening pleasure /24-bit files.

On a Roon forum I found this one on a discussion about MQA.
The questions was if a blue light on an MQA capable guaranties the authentication of the file.

Truncating MQA files to 16 bits and the blue light still shines
I especially like this part:
When FredericV poses the question:
“So if the real MQA file, and stripped version with only 16 bits of entropy, both show decoding to 24/352.8, how does the customer know he is not being scammed?”
And user mansr says:
“Easy, if the blue light is on, it’s a scam”

Hilarious

Agreed. Alphabet soup time....

Still a great afternoon at the national gallery.

Going to the National Gallery was a transformative experience for me. I bought a print from there that is one of my most treasured possessions.


In terms of the real topic of this thead (coffee), I was just in Kaui Hawaii and did a self tour of one the coffee plantations there. 4M trees! Almost enough for a week of brew

I didn't love any of the samples from the plantation but I could really taste the freshness of the roast everywhere I went in Hawaii.

Kauai coffee company's Na Pali coast dark roast is one of my go to's, I might have a cup of Vanilla Macadamia nut on occasion too

For all of you Disc heads out there. I first heard about JVC XRCD tonight by a friend who is a veritable authority on classical recordings. While reading up on the format I came across this website. May be of interest to many of you considering @Baldr is working on a spinner.
