The McLovins visited Our Funky Cheese Shack yesterday at WBCR in Great Barrington for an extra special school’s-out-for-summer hour-long teen jam band special. There was a bit of giggly magic in the air. You can listen to the interview and performance here.

For his birthday dinner last month, Dave requested that I make Frida’s meatballs from Frida’s Fiestas: Recipes and Reminiscences of Life with Frida Kahlo by Guadalupe Rivera and Marie-Pierre Colle. It’s a lovely book in the tradition of Monet’s Table. Does anybody remember that book? Somebody gave it to us as a wedding present in 1991 and I’ve been obsessed with yellow and blue kitchens ever since. Our kitchen in New England is pale straw and sky blue and the one in Mexico has a lemon yellow polished-cement floor and a cobalt tile pattern of sort-of daises on the countertops.
I’m heading down to San Miguel de Allende to visit my mom and will offer a “Twitter 101: They Don’t Call It Social Media for Nothing” how-to/why-to/what-to workshop on Thursday, August 20, 10am to noon, at our house in Colonia Guadalupe. I will cut through the Twitter hype with clarity, a rockin’ tutorial handout, and excellent snacks.
