Sis put me onto this, the Onmivore's Hundred.

"The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it."

Most not earth shattering but may catch you out. The list of 100 foods to try.

whisky galore -sort of

Well done take on Whisky Galore by Tennent's Lager. An oldy but goody. Below is the "Brochan Lom" tune, an old pipe tune from the movie itself...getting thirsty, almost quittin' time.

excellent obit of Jack Weil (Rockmount shirts)

Fantastic obituary of Jack Weil of Rockmount shirts. This is from The Economist; a slightly unexpected source but very welcome. Rockmount had only just sent out a press release on the 10th of August with an update, so thoughts with everyone there.

"Mr Weil reckoned that a cowboy on a horse, if wearing a shirt with buttons, was liable to get snagged on sagebrush or cactus or, worse than that, get a steerhorn straight through his fancy buttonhole. He was pretty certain, too, that a cowboy losing a button would feel disinclined to sew it on again. The answer to all those difficulties was to make shirts with snap-fasteners. And for 62 years, in a red-brick warehouse in the LoDo district of Denver, Mr Weil did exactly that." Further reading courtesy of The Economist.

car wash

This is one of our few original parenting ideas, "car wash". Take a few Hotwheels cars and some shaving foam...add a step stool and voila'. 30 minutes of quiet.
