FikaCast Finally!
I did manage to get a second episode of FikaCast up on Fat Tuesday. It was a tad late in the day, but it was still Fat Tuesday! I have to say I like Garage Band. I’ve still got some to learn about it, but overall it was pretty awesome. I love how easy it was to set up “chapters” to the podcast and change info and images so you can see in real time whose music you are listening to and such. If you don’t have iTunes or other podcast aggregator, you can listen to the podcast right from the web site.
In this episode I share the long and varied history of semlor or Fat Tuesday buns. There is music from some Norwegians and a Swede - two of the groups have music available from iTunes and/or Amazon! I also review an unusual mystery by Swedish author, Kerstin Ekman. In the show notes I also include the semlor recipe I have settled on as well as links to a couple other options should you feel the urge to give them a try.
I know knitting content has been lacking in these parts. My shoulders/back/neck are still bothering me so I haven’t done much spinning or knitting. There has been a lot of computing in bed, reading cooking magazines, reading novels, and dozing on and off due to muscle relaxers. I’m trying to figure out what to do. The PT I got a referral for is all the way across town, which isn’t comfortable since I drive a stick shift. Plus, they aren’t listed as a provider with my insurance company. The insurance company just gives me half a dozen names and no info about them. I’d like to know who is specialized in neck/shoulder stuff. *sigh* I hate insurance company run-around! I suppose I’m going to have to make another appointment with my regular doc so she can look over my insurance list. Yeah, another $20 co-pay that accomplishes nothing. Don’t they realize what great sock yarn they rob me of by making me do that?
