We found a recipe on the delightful Ukrainian food site Shuba. At the WLBOTT Test Kitchen, the Ladle & Lube, we made two executive decisions: Thoughts / Reflections […]

My Ukrainian ENGin buddy shared the twelve traditional dishes served on Christmas Eve. We are going to see how many we can make at the WLBOTT Test Kitchen and Tractor Lube Station. The menu: I’ll have to check with my buddy, but I believe that “Lenten” in this context means “vegetarian.” Lenten borscht — Пісний […]
Today we’ve asked Elder G to reflect on the Quiet Moments of Twine The Quiet Moments of TwineTwine is not a material that calls attention to itself.

For several decades I’ve had this fantasy[1]: [1] Elder G: UC#4, are you sure you understand the concept of “fantasy?” [2] Admittedly a daunting challenge. I could sweeten the deal by making her an honorary Elder of WLBOTT. In 1975, she moved to WHYY-FM in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to host and produce Fresh Air, which was […]
