  • The Original Marc

    QOTD: Oh yeah, and I’m passionate about Israel. Talk to me if you want to say Israel is committing crimes against the Palestinians, because I’ll take you near the border on the Israeli side where they’re getting rockets fired at them every day and then getting the whole world going against them the second they try to defend themselves.

    QOTD – What am I passionate about? – making and enjoying my home made pies with friends and family. My last two pies – a mock rhubarb with 2 kinds of apples, really fresh frozen raspberries and lots of lemon zest AND second pie – fig with apricot, pear, walnut and a little candied ginger. Seek out REAL pie – not the commercial junk – you won’t regret it. Better yet – try it yourself.

    I’m doubling up on comments today, as I was unable to leave one yesterday, and I really liked the question. So I’ll start with that. My fun fact of the day (yesterday to be precise) is something I recently encountered in a book about wine. I read that there are over 500 chemical compounds found in wine. The same chemical compounds that give flavor and smell to various organics found on this planet. So when we smell or taste bell pepper (for example) from a cab sauv it’s because we are actually smelling or tasting the same chemical components that give bell peppers their inherent flavor. How awesome is that? All this time I thought it was all in my head.
    QOTD (today): I’m passionate about music. Right now specifically The Mars Volta. Talk about a band that brings the thunder!
    Best wishes Gary, love the show.

  • QOTD: I am passionate about singing and dancing, but not in a professional way – just for my own enjoyment. 🙂
