JOEL GOTT OREGON PINOT NOIR 2016

” 2016 Oregon Pinot Noir has aromas of pomegranate, red raspberry and strawberry with notes of sandalwood. On the palate, bright red fruit flavors lead to soft, velvety tannins with candied cranberry and subtle vanilla notes on the mid-palate. Sweet, fruit flavors and notes of spice offer a long, elegant finish.”

Hannah:

Moving… Get active.

“Gym, dance class, playing a sport, going to the beach, hiking, camping, find a class for a hobby you’ve always wanted to try, take a walk, look up at the night sky, lay in the grass, watch the birds, look for the beauty and magick around you and interact with it. Listen, play, create, and love…please, with everything you have; Love. Enjoy the life you have while you have it. Seek out your passion, pursue it to your own glorious folly. Make your myth. Live.”

Stormy:

Utilizing spray bottles to their fullest potential.

“In my opinion, Spray bottles can be used for so much more than just scaring your cat.. They can be used to apply home-made insecticide to your garden beds, for applying the perfect amount of egg wash to your baked-goods, or even for dispersing an even amount of oil to your frying pan! All with the added benefit of not having aerosol in your food/home! Its cheaper, it’s healthier, it’s less waste, and it’s all around better for you and the environment.”

Shabat Shalom, listeners!

Today on MP, we are joined once again by the enthralling Dr. James Rietveld, and are all the more enlightened by his lecture on Ancient Jewish Magic!  Now before we actually -get- to the lecture, we spend a good minute catching up, opening presents, and getting side-tracked. Hope you like nerdy shenanigans, guys!

Shep Naches!

This Month’s Recommendations

Stormy:

Fixing your Wool Hats: w/ Steam and Plastic wig stands

Firstly, I’d recommend getting those Hard plastic,full headed wig stands over the styrofoam ones. Mainly because the foam ones can be accidentally crushed, stained or burned much more easily than the hard plastic ones. It also cant shrink, which is a plus..

Secondly, I HIGHLY recommend getting the MALE-anatomy ones, as they are far closer to an actual human shaped head than the FEMALE ones.

You can use steam from an enclosed bathroom and hot shower for larger items, OR use a hot kettle to release the steam more precisely. If using the kettle, keep the hat/your hands a couple inches away to avoid steam burns.

After the hat is warm and soft, you can use your hands to manipulate the bowl and brim to the desired shape, getting rid of all the kinks and divets. If the hat ends up getting too wet, just let it dry a bit and try again until it’s the way you want it.

Hannah:

Ojibwe traditional hand-harvested and wood-parched wild rice or manoomin from Minnesota (the food that grows on the water).

“Hand Harvested and Wood Parched – Our manoomin is hand harvested by the Anishinaabeg from the 1835, 1855, and 1867 Treaty areas and beyond. We are proud to bring you this natural gift from the Earth. White Earth Nation’s wild rice is certified USDA MCIA 100% Organic.”

Seriously, guys, this tastes unbelievable…It’s a perfect addition to any special sabbat gathering and ritual potluck. Let’s support our indigenous neighbors and share the blessings of Mother Earth.

It’s all about giving books and art for Yule. Something special that won’t get used up or broken, and can help encourage conversation between you and your loved ones.

Stormy: My recommendation for this episode has nothing to do with holiday spirit per say, but everything to do with something i’ve been obsessively consuming nonetheless: the True-Crime podcast Murder Mile!
