It’s not often a company the size of google would let a typo slip onto the most visited page on the web, right? (don’t quote me on that, by the way).
I was cleaning out my vast store of useless files tonight, and found this little gem that I quickly screengrabbed when I saw it earlier this year. I subsequently completely forgot about it, as usual!
Googe?
Risotto Jam May 8, 2007

Mmm, sounds tasty, right?
Truthfully, I doubt I could convince anyone to make jam risotto, except maybe my wife’s brother who has been known to indulge in a bit of molecular gastronomy. I must confess I’d possibly even give it a try – I guess it’d be a bit like milk rice pudding, but with a fruity twist!!
Anyway, I digress. The title really refers to the fact that I had my first ‘jam’ (i.e. played music with other people, not just our cat) last Monday, and it was a blast! Oh, the Risotto thing – Tim, the dude whose place we played at, made us Risotto that night. Best Risotto ever? Don’t know about that, but it wasn’t half bad!
So there were three of us, all playing the guitar conducting an aural assault on Tim’s neighbours. There was a bit of sonic confusion going on; at times it sounded a bit like three guitars in a blender, but that didn’t stop the smiles!
Definitely looking forward to the next one! I’m keen to get a band together so we can play at the ward Christmas party… we just have to find a new singer (Tim’s heading off overseas, damnit!) so the hunt is now on. If the ward band doesn’t work out, I think I might look for a band on my own anyway. It’s too much fun to miss out on anymore! I’ve played guitar now for 17 years and only been in one official band. Not good enough!
