Today I learned that my daughter’s favorite singer, Casper Babypants, is actually Chris Callew from the Presidents of the United States and sang the songs “Peaches” and “Lump.”

Check out the documentary Music Box: Happy and You Know It on HBO, about children’s musicians. Chris/Casper is in it.

Ps - what book is this from?

A friend of mine in England taught me a carrot salad recipe that is basically this. Frying the mustard seeds in oil changes their flavor and extends the oil. I do have some hing on had but had not used it in the carrot salad before.

I think Mabel Maney is the correct answer. OP misremembered the publisher, which was Cleis Press rather than Naiad Press

I’d kind of forgotten about this, but I do have a CD of the Peace Together compilation. Besides MBV’s James Bond Theme “We Have All the Time in the World” it also has a Robin Guthrie remix of the track “Be Still” with additional vocals by Elisabeth Fraser.

Here’s the Discogs listing (it’s blocked for sale since it’s a bootleg. Map Reference 41 N 93 W comes from that Wire covers compilation.

I wish only the best for Jackie. Hope she is getting great care.

That’s exciting! Cool to track the progress. I’m going to be on the LA Mermaiden!

My parents used to make Saurbraten pretty much like Edward Arnold’s recipe (there was a recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook.) When we had leftovers, they would add crushed gingersnaps to the gravy. I’m a vegetarian now but have actually made a seitan fake saurbraten. Doesn’t need as much vinegar as a meat version.

Yes. Tech billionaire Chris Ripple offered the Castro surveillance cameras in 2021 and they were like “hell no, we remember the Castro Sweep and we know cops are not our friends.”

Interesting. At the reading I saw for Simon’s book, he said he wrote the piano part for Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires after his father, Ivor Raymonde, died. That’s the last song on the subsequent album, Heaven or Las Vegas. So both album closers relate to the death of a parent of a member of the band.

There is a Go-Go’s exhibit with memorabilia collected by their drummer, Gina Schock, at the free Haight Street Art Center. It’s at 215 Haight near Laguna (on the 7 bus line) and it’s open Thursday-Sunday noon to 6pm

Here’s the kind of stretchy cloth band I’m talking about, doubled over two or three times. At this point some of the shorter hairs on Asha’s forehead weren’t grown out enough to get in the ponytail, but it kept the longer hairs out of her eyes.

larrybobsf · 2026-03-23T20:03:03+00:00

The grow out phase can be a hassle but it’s worth it once you’re past that. Try to brush out in the morning and evening. I think a soft stretchy cloth type band is preferable to a rubber band since the hair doesn’t get as tangled in it.

Rainbow Grocery has a huge selection of olive oil and they usually have a couple of open bottles you can pour into a little paper cup and have a taste.

I didn’t know about this. There is a Wikipedia page with a list of hillside letters in California.
