10/22/2025, 7:08 AMElder JZ:I learned something dark and unsettling about myself yesterday. I become primal, even savage, when presented with fried chicken. I frighten myself. 0/22/2025, 7:32 AMElder JimZim:Okay, I need to get to work. Somebody’s got to pay for WLBOTT’s AI credits. But your interest in fried chicken is shared. I am particularly fond […]
“When the Elders dine upon the grass of the Earth,they shall be full of fiber but empty of wisdom.”— WLBOTT Abbey Digestive Codex, Vol. 2 Following up on yesterday’s blott about the diet of cows and elephants, WLBOTT wonders: can people eat grass? WLBOTT:Just for references purposes, what would happen to a human if they […]
After a robust discussion with Elder JimZim concerning digestive issues and their influence on the state of domestic tranquility, I decided to research the digestive system of cows. But let’s start with elephants, because they’re cool, and are also vegetarians. However, they have a much different digestive system from cows. WLBOTT:Let’s start with the basics […]
Dateline WLBOTT HQ: 2025-10-01After successfully concluding all WLBOTT corporate business, the Elder culinary break-out team got to work. For inspiration, let’s reflect on Steven Fromholz’s beautiful poetry: Six o’clock silence of a new day beginningIs heard in a small Texas townLike a signal from nowhere the people who live thereAre up and moving around’Cause there’s bacon to fryThere’s biscuits […]
The WLBOTT Ladle & Lube cooks have consulted with The Great Chefs of Europe, as well as Elder KM (she knows her varenyky!) We have collected a variety of stuffing suggestions. This Conclave of Cooks, the Potsdam Perogy Plenary, has long been a favorite subject of Renaissance painters. Results of the Chefs’ Conclave Savory & […]
As we prepare for Elder JimZim’s visit to WLBOTT HQ and the associated varenyky culinary adventure, we will also be adding to the digital dumpling database of knowledge. At this point, the WLBOTT team of Perogy Sciences have made two ground-breaking discoveries. The Micro-Perogy In-Vitro Dumpling Technology WLBOTT research explores the many opportunities in In-Vitro […]
WLBOTT’s Ladle & Lube Test Kitchen is bubbling over with excitement! In a few days Elder JimZim will be visiting WLBOTT HQ. After a perfunctory review of our financials (we have none), and a quick ISO/OSHA compliance check, we will be making Ukrainian varenyky (also known as perogies). There will be a great deal of […]
The WLBOTT team was reflecting on the second stanza of the famous Horatio G. Spafford hymn, It Is Well with My Soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,Let this blest assurance control,That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,And hath shed His own blood for my soul.- It Is Well with My Soul Time […]
The WLBOTT Test Kitchen and Tractor Lube Station (The Ladle & Lube) recently received a large quantity of sliced pickles and sliced onions. Through an interesting curvature of both time and space, our neighbor’s daughter had a tremendous amount of pickles/onions left from her wedding reception. Before continuing, I must say that the wedding was […]
You know our friend, Elder KM? She runs the organization ENGin to promote English language skills to Ukrainians. The other day, out of the blue, she says how much she hates English desserts. That was enough to spark an idea for a blog post – the absolutely worst, grossest desserts across cuisines, cultures, countries. We […]
