It’s Seriously Gobbledigook

By Jessie on Tuesday, 30 September 2008 with no comments

I can’t get this song out of my head. It is quickly becoming my favourite. Here is the English translation.

Sigur Ros

Gobbledigook
Sigur Rós
from Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
(with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly)

You hats make fly into the air
You turn umbrellas inside out too often
oh no, don’t - oh

You roofs blow out into the stormy sea
You hair stroke and hem blowing
Prankster boy

You (Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala lalalala)
Wind in hair - ooh ooh
Wind in hair - ooh ooh
Wind in hair - ooh ooh
Wind in…
(Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala)

Your eyes blow sand, tears
You gum throw in hair stuck
Prankster boy

You (Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala lalalala)
Wind in hair - ooh ooh
Wind in hair - ooh ooh
Wind in hair - ooh ooh
Wind in….
(Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala)

Lalala lai lalala : Lalala lai lalala
Lalala lai lalala : Lalala lai lalala
Lalala lai lalala : Lalala lai

(Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala)
(Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala)

Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala lalalala
Lalalala lalalala : Lalalala lalalala
Lalalala lalalala : Lala lalalala

Thank you for sharing Cathy and Jeremiah.

First day of autumn

By Jessie on Monday, 29 September 2008 with no comments

Robb and I celebrated this glorious, much anticipated, day with none other than burgers and fries. These were delicious! I seasoned the burgers with a delicious spice blend that was part of a wedding gift from a friend. We don’t have a charcoal grill, yet, so we fried them up on our cast iron grill on the stove. Delicious! (The broccoli is also from our garden!)

The fries are homemade. Simply julienned and seasoned with olive oil, cumin, and salt. Baked at 400ºF for 20 minutes, turned, and baked for a remaining 10 minutes until they are soft and brown. (And delicious!)

We are growing Brussels sprouts in our garden. I have heard that these are delicious little vegetables, but I have never tried them. Why have I held out? Because I have never had garden fresh ones! So, I found a recipe for roasted sprouts which Robb and I enjoyed to the very last bite. I can’t wait to harvest some more!
