Chicken Leg Popsicle Sandwich - A Rerun - Wyrd Mountain GalsEpisode Airs Sunday, 1-29-23
 
We're bringing back the Wyrd-ness* with this older recording from 2019.  We hope you enjoy!
In this episode the girls ramble about everything from chicken leg popsicle sandwiches to Gospel music. How does this relate? How do they get from Wyrd Mountain to the Cove? And how does Byron know that it was a truck driving by Billy Graham's sign? There's only one way to find out…Thanks for listening!

A Rerun of Death

A Rerun of DeathEpisode Airs Sunday 1-22-23   7pm EST
The gals couldn't help but talk about Death this week.  Well that and changing the name of an iconic song to something that sounds like it's from Carolina.  But mostly Death.

Firm tofu toss with peanut butter and then toss in steamed broccoli.  sometimes i chop up onion in that too.
Get a brie.  Put a dollop of some kind of jam with it & put it in the oven till it gets soft.

Alexander Carmichael - Carmina Gadelica - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Gadelica
From a Reddit thread about Jessica of Dune's transmutation of the Spice into the Water of Life:"A Reverend Mother must have complete control of her body. A much higher degree of control than the average basic Bene Gesserit training (which requires control of every individual muscle and vocal chord). A Reverend Mother is essentially poisoned and must alter the molecular structure of the poison so that she may live. This proves her ultimate control over the very molecules of her body and the by-product of nullifying the poison is a powerful prescient drug that gives her permanent access to her genetic memory. This is an interesting concept from a Chemistry point of view because organic molecules are incredibly complex and their nature can be drastically altered with a slight adjustment. Beyond that however, I don't think there is any serious chemistry to examine, its all pseudo-chemistry as you said."https://www.reddit.com/r/dune/comments/asg0cd/jessicas_transformationthe_water_of_life
