I am currently enjoying Christopher Moore,  "Lamb, the Gospel according to Biff" Christ's childhood pal.
It's a hilarious and oddly respectful look at the early, undocumented years of Jesus Christ from his boyhood chum Biff. For anyone vaguely familiar with the Bible. it is a delightful and at times quite earthy read of Jesus (Joshua) from his earliest childhood days onwards. Definitely not for people who don't have a good sense of humour.

I like most music from classical to Jazz to contemporary rock, (Rap is not music so I do not like nor dislike it as music) I am currently enjoying  "Stars" a Canadian group. Their current and wonderful album is "In the bedroom, after the war" Now I have to buy their earlier works.

What is the most recent new and wonderful thing Ted's made in the kitchen?
Dulce de leche, WOW. super easy and super tasty, I'll be posting the recipe for that soon.

What's the coolest thing in Ted's garden right now?
OMG! Everything is going gangbusters right now. But the coolest things are the Hops that I use to flavour beer and this thing called a Japanese knotweed. It looks like bamboo but it is growing about a foot a week right now. I am doing up the new vegetable beds, I am planning to grow "Purple Food" this year. Purple potatoes, purple beans, purple carrots, purple broccoli. etc..

What is Ted doing in the studio these days?

Bugger all at the moment, the furnace is shut down and I am working on the house and garden. Just redid my entire kitchen. somehow it is all crooked.... That is why I ama glassblower.
