We are considering welcoming Baba Yaga into our WLBOTT community. She had a WLBOTT vibe before it was so very cool to be WLBOTT. As you’ve seen from our recent blotts, Baba Yaga has taken steps to rehabilitate her image – vegan alternatives to eating children, getting dental care for her iron teeth, etc. What else can help Baba Yaga improve her image, without damaging her essential character?

Pickleball
What better way to become part of the local community! Baba Yaga headed down to the local Y, with her Silver Sneakers pass card, and signed up for Pickle Ball.
Initially the other players were a bit put off by Baba Yaga’s aggressive style of playing.
But soon she was accepted, even embraced, by the Y Pickle People.
A Quiet Evening at Home.
For Baba Yaga, one of the unexpected pleasures of moving to Central Texas was Rock ‘n Roll. Baba Yaga had never heard of Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, or even Elvis! She immediately took to The Who’s song Baba O’Riley, realizing that Baba O’Riley was a distant Irish cousin.
So in an effort to more deeply acculturate herself, she is determined to learn to play Baba O’Riley.
Pampered Daddy
You will note that Baba Yaga is enjoying a healthy snack of Baba Ghanoush while practicing the accordion.
Baba ghanoush is a smoky, creamy Levantine dip made from roasted or charred eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, often served as part of a mezze platter with pita bread or vegetables. Its name loosely translates from Arabic as “pampered daddy,” and it’s known for its silky texture and rich, smoky flavor, making it a popular Middle Eastern appetizer.
