Well, check the frozen food section for a lark and see if they're there. The site says to ask the store to carry them if they don't.

And people, these cookies have all natural ingredients and no trans fats!

Oh yeah, I'm listening to Green Manalishi from 1975. Stevie's throaty thing at the end is so weird. Does anyone know what "green manalishi" means? I'm almost scared to ask...

Green = Peter Green

Manalishi = "devil" (in the form of money)

From the Penguin's Bio of Peter Green:

It was around this time (1970) that Peter began to loathe the fame and fortune he had acquired, and became extremely religious, appearing on-stage wearing crucifixes and flowing robes. He proposed to the band that they only keep what was absolutely necessary financially and give the rest of the money away to charities. Green said he had a vision of an angel holding a starving Biafran child in her arms, and the vision prompted him to make his charitable proposal: "I thought I had too much money to be happy and normal. Thousand of pounds is just too much for a working person to handle all of a sudden, and I felt I didn't deserve it." Mick Fleetwood was resistant to the idea from the very beginning (he did not feel the band was making any fortunes anyway), yet John McVie said he initially went along with this plan because "there was no reason not to." He soon came to his senses when he realized that the proposition was coming from "a guy who'd just been given lots of acid." Faced with the band's refusal to give away all monetary gains, Peter Green decided to leave Fleetwood Mac, but not before writing the haunting 'Green Manalishi,' which seems to document his struggle to stop his descent into madness. 'The Green God' left Fleetwood Mac in a responsible manner, and his departure shocked and saddened the music world. His last show with the band was on May 28, 1970.

Thanks, so sad.

PSH. You think that just because I'm a girl I couldn't kick your ass? If you don't believe me, ask Greg. Nobody comes between me and Brandon Flowers.

I guess some things never change

Also, thanks for posting Chili!!!! I do not mean to make light of Peter G.'s demons - but I thought that was funny about Mick

You guys talking about sweets and stuff is making me sick (I wish there was a barfing face, becuase I would be using it now!) I can't stand cake, cupcakes or ice cream...I only like brownies sometimes and plain cookie dough! I do like some cookies though!

It's not that you're a girl. It's that Brandon is mine, and that I'm taking him by force.

No one really does. It usually just sparks random conversations.

I'm such a stickler for ****ed up recordings.....I hate audience recordings to begin with, but if a show has digital errors, skipping, static etc... forget it. Soundboards for me all the way. But any TH is good TH, so I was willing to let that slide (plus it was from the US Festival, which was way cool). Maybe I'll try and find it later...

Now playing:....Nothing actually.
