Gravitacion for Christmas
Gravitacion is a
superb medieval and renaissance music group based at Millikin
University in Decatur IL. Now go visit their website and listen to the
audio clips. If the soprano, my friend Sherezade Panthaki, doesn't make your knees turn to water, your ears need work.
The Gravitacion CD can be ordered here.

At home behind the billboard
This "Aeroform pod" home is the "subsidized urban living model," designed by Brendan O'Grady. I'm not quite sure I'm sold on the concept. There's a seventies sci-fi, dystopian feel to it. Via Trendhunter

Stuffed walrus and akutaq
Mr. Henry quotes an Eskimo recipe from the old Joy of Cooking:
“Gut your walrus. In its cavity place one flock of small birds after having first removed one wing feather from each wing. Sew the cavity closed, cover the walrus in snow, and leave it outside to freeze for the winter.
Come spring, partially thaw, slice and serve.”
Which reminds me of another dish from the frozen North:
Akutaq. Looks good, right? Check out the ingredients:
- reindeer, caribou or moose fat, first cut into small pieces and then whipped by hand until [light] and fluffy
- seal, walrus or whale oil
- berries of any kind in any combination
- salmon, whitefish or trout
- fish liver
- fish eggs
- cooked sourdock greens, which have a tart spinach taste
- sugar or honey
- odds and ends, including mashed potatoes, rice, dried fruit, evaporated canned milk
