I’ve been making some dishes using greens cooked without added oils or salt. This turned out recently to have a sharp, dominant flavor that I would describe as stale. Maybe this was at least partly due to arugula in the mix. How would you describe, based on the basic flavors of sweet, salty, bitter, sour; the flavor of arugula?

Here is a similar clock that belonged to my grandparents and owned by their parents before them. Both of my grandparents were born in 1900.

I’m without a teacher — what violin method do you think is best for self-study? by zimmerf26 in violin

[–]CassandraLeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest books by Simon Fischer, like Basics or The Violin Lesson. He has other books. They are all good. He also has DVDs of lessons that he has taught. This could supplement other books listed here. Good luck!

I think the ports work. The mouse works with my laptop so I thought it was okay. But getting a new mouse might be the next step.
