brownie

En Écosse, dans les fermes isolées, il n’est pas rare d’entendre les habitants vous dire qu’un brownie vient régulièrement les aider. Apercevoir un brownie n’est cependant pas une mince affaire. N’aimant pas être regardé, ce génie domestique préfère circuler lorsque les ténèbres prennent le pas sur la clarté.

À Clochfoldich Farm, chacun connaissait le brownie. D’habitude, ces créatures étaient serviables, rangeant la vaisselle et nettoyant les écuelles. Malheureusement, celui-là était d’une tout autre nature. 

If you think setting goals for those in persistent pain is a great place to start... think again! In this podcast, Bronnie Lennox Thompson talks us through her PhD research into how some people experiencing persistent pain continue to live well, while a higher proportion seem to be impacted more. Bronnie's work has been to understand what it is that people who live well with pain do - and how we can learn from them.

Sounds like a perfect world--chocolate and THC, deliciously combined into a mouth-watering brownie. But how much THC are you actually getting? New research shows that for some reason, when you mix THC and chocolate together it's difficult to get an accurate reading of the potency. Host Julie Nygard, owner of The Chocolate Therapist chocolate company, summarizes the research to help you make an educated decision.

The Scottish Brownie formed a class of being distinct in habit and disposition from the freakish and mischievous elves. He was meagre, shaggy, and wild in his appearance. Thus Cleland, in his satire against the Highlanders, compares them to

“Faunes, or Brownies, if ye will,
Or Satyres come from Atlas Hill.”

Grotesque Ghosts

Book 2 Chapter 4

Wirt Sikes

We hear about the grotesque ghosts of Welsh folklore, the story of the minister and the phantom horseman, Anne Jenkins and the giant ghost with the long black tongue. Sikes also tells us about dark or black men in the Mabinogion, spinning or whirling ghosts as well as those that play tricks on people. He leaves us with the story of the Tridoll Valley ghost and its many antics with stones, pilchards and the maid's bed-clothes!

Ahhh yes, one of those episodes...  We hit on everything that makes gearheads tick (now, in our fifth year!), ratcheting up the garambiance for a review of Gov'ment Motors' troubles with millions of recalls, unsold Cadillac hybrids littering dealership lots, the Aztek (yuuuuup), using a whole bunch of made up words to describe them. We're gearheads - if there ain't a word for it, we'll build one to suit.

Taking time out from congratulating Command Master Chief Larry Wilske, candidate for the 53rd District, and reminding you that if you don't vote, you don't get to argue, Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and SuperMeg (fresh from her Vespa-crashing Sasquatch attack) also dig into Calvin & Hobbes creator and super-recluse Bill Watterson, Anthrax, Michelle "Call Me Patrick" Obama, Dr. Who's repeated new-season fails, pot-use fails, Seth "Fail" McFarland, gun rights, doubling our Swiss audience, and why Bill "Ruby Ridge" Gore is not good.

Remember, just because the Simpsons did it doesn't mean you shouldn't.

Auntie Dolores (that's not really her name) met me at the Comedy Store patio to talk about edibles. She makes some of the best brownies, pretzels, lolipops, nuts, and popcorn you can find in California. We talked about how she makes things, her worries with the authorities, and when she got started. Plus we also reminisced about our history with pot cookies.
