Moons Size Comparison



With trivia coming up tomorrow night, this seems appropriate to share.  I have been known to ask moon related questions.

Podcast Recommendations



I have been listening to a couple of good podcasts lately.  I figured I'd share, in case you were looking to be informed and entertained regarding science and/or Austin history:

  • Star Talk:  Neil DeGrasse Tyson and rotating co-hosts discuss scientific concepts in a humorous  way.  I've already learned a lot about volcanoes and black holes.  If you are coming to my next trivia night, it's possible I've pulled some questions from this podcast.  
  • Austin Found: If you want to know more about Austin history and culture, then tune in to this one.  Long time Austin American-Statesman journalist Micheal Barnes and Austin radio personality J.B. Hegar are the hosts.   I think of myself as reasonably knowledgable about Austin history, but I've found out lots of interesting and hitherto unknown to me information from these podcasts.  

And here's a fun fact:  Neil deGrasse Tyson has an M.A. in astronomy from U.T.-Austin.  Hook 'em!

Food: Butter. Wonderful, Delicious Butter



I don't usually get excited about buying butter, but I'll make an exception in this case.  The Lewis Road Creamery's garlic and chives butter is excellent (it's grass-fed and traditionally churned too, if you care about such things).  I ran across it last month while shopping for prime ribeyes on the Central Market website.   I thought it might be good tp melt some thick garlic and chive butter over the steaks while they were resting post-grilling.   My intuition was very correct and flavor expectations were exceeded.  Also, this stuff tastes great on bread, potatoes, and just about anything else which goes well with garlic butter.

I bought another unit of this butter in my most recent Central Market order.  It's in the the fridge waiting on a pair of grass-fed ribeyes slated to hit the grill soon.

[speaking of Central Market: grab some of their Hatch chile tortillas while they are in stock.  They taste great, especially wrapped around a sausage fresh off the grill.]

Heat: Be Careful

At least it's a dry heat and cool at night, unlike summer in Austin.

It's July in Texas, and while heat's an issue it's still nice to get outside for some socially distance fun and exercise.   Unfortunately, there is the danger of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.   Check out these articles to learn more:

Have fun, wear light clothes, and stay hydrated.   If you are feeling adventurous, you can do what I do and enjoy summertime night biking.  It's cooler than during the day, plus you don't have the sun beating down on you.
