A CD review last Sunday in the Playlist column misidentified the label that released the new album by Cold Specks, "I Predict a Graceful Expulsion".
The basis of what Conrad says, that we are mere specks, I feel in Tholly's words 'live for the moment say I be damned of the consequence'.
"I noticed a 'speck' on my LCD screen after I took the shot to check for clarity, and only realized it wasn't a speck when I downloaded it on my computer". The Edgemoor Barn -- now a museum -- just celebrated its 100th birthday.
I'd often been puzzled by little blue-green specks when I made garlic bread with loaves of sourdough, but I was really rattled the first time I puréed raw garlic, onion and ginger together in a blender to make chicken in yogurt from Madhur Jaffrey's "Invitation to Indian Cooking".
I outline every speck of coffee I can see on the canvas, usually requiring me to look at the piece throughout the day so I get a few shades and angles of sunlight to reveal more of the smaller flecks.
I was trying to find one little speck of something I could use.
Thanks to that mountain, I will always remember that even when I feel like I am crumbling into a million specks of dust, I will make it to my peak, and I will feel whole, happy, and proud.
The play on that whole word there is "speck" … because I'm just a little thing in this big thing called the universe.
The speck and bresaola I tasted were sliced appropriately thin (the speck was translucent) and served on a long wooden board that dramatically stretches the length of the table.
