Breathtaking..

It's insane, her voice..

And if you are like me and can't get enough of it, try her taking on Lady Antebellum (accompanied by Hootie of Blowfish fame, and cheered on by Lady A themselves..)



..or kissing off her ex:



'Scuze me...gotta go hit replay again..


Edit: Good grief...all I see in the Google reader is blank space with ads and some text...is that what you all see, too?? When the heck did they change to that??

That looks...interesting..

It seems to be fig season here in Hawaii. I know this because I was handed a large bag of ripe right now figs, overflow from their tree that they couldn't keep up with. Since I seem to be the only one in the house who like fresh figs, I am now trying to come up with ways to use them up..which leads me to the next question...who the heck has heard of fig soup? Not as a dessert, either...as a main meal item. The people who gave them to me said they have been making it a lot, and that it was an Asian thing. I dunno...I can be adventurous in my palate, but my mind is boggling about this...has anyone had or heard of that before? 

And, what else can I do with these sitting on my counter in dire need of using up??
