The Markovic Family Round 7

There's rarely a moment where music can't be heard in the Markovic home.

Lucia and Mateo have been very busy for the past few years- especially since baby Wesley was born after Lucia got abducted one night.

Liliana is dating Taki Akiyama. He likes her enough to come over and watch her play video games even though he would rather play chess.

Liliana also frequently goes ton visit her sister, Tomi, at uni on the weekends.

Peter plays video games constantly. He doesn't enjoy school much, but Lucia makes sure she stays on top of his grades.

2 once di piombo (My Name is Pecos, 1966)

"Spit out your name, Mexican."

"There's no point. Dead men can't hear, and you're a dead man."

From Scratch

youtube

I've been hearing this title a lot since it aired in Netflix. My brother and some friends recommended it; and so, I clicked on Play and watched the first episode to see what it was about. The first seconds of the episode the audience knows the ending, we can deduce what's coming and yet, we all move on the the next and the next until we reach the last episode and end it with wet cheeks and a sad smile.

From Scratch is an 8 episode series based on Tembi Locke's memoir called From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily and Finding Home. I haven't read the book but I don't need to in order to know that the series was faithful to the feelings, experiences and the life of these people. The series makes us part of this family and we, the audience, share in their laughter and pain.

It is an amazing journey, a story of self-discovery, family healing, love in all its manifestations. . . life. Lino's and Amy's love made way for family relations to improve. Lino's relationship with his father mends. Amy's parents interaction changes too and they pass from being terrible exes to parents who work together for their children. And this is just as beautiful to see as it is to watch the couple's love for each other. It is inspiring, how they were able to talk things through and always find a way so that both of them could be happy individuals and have a healthy marriage.

I come from a family unit that is really close. And raising my son has been a tribe thing, so I can understand what Idalia's birth mother wanted for her child and she got it. Idaliah was raised in a tribe, it wasn't just Lino and Amy, it was their parents, siblings and friends who all were there to raise her. That supportive unit also helped them in this journey. I also liked the relationship between Amy and her sister. As an older sister, I know how Zora feels about her little sister.

This is a story about love and it is worth watching.

Rolling Stone Magazine Top 250 Guitarists - The Omissions List

Once again, Rolling Stone Magazine puts together a list that no one asked for and it's a complete mess. Instead of analyzing craft and technique, Rolling Stone goes for popularity and mediocrity. Who in their right mind thinks that Joni Mitchell, not known primarily for her guitar work, is Top 10 material, but Slowhand himself, Eric Clapton only worth making it it to 35? Also, why is The Edge, probably the worst guitarist ever, have a place in the top 50 and Jose Feliciano, a master of classical style, not even crack the top 200? I can go on for hours about the inconsistencies, but for now, I will focus on the many guitarists that Rolling Stone left off.

Martin Barre

Jeff "Skunk" Baxter

George Benson

Joe Bonamassa

Doyle Bramhall II

Roy Clark

Mike Dawes

Paco De Lucia

Al Di Meola

Dave Edmunds

Tommy Emmanuel

Peter Frampton

Justin Hayward

Allan Holdsworth

Stephen Housden

Antonio Carlos Jobim

John Jorgenson

Laurence Juber

Terry Kath

Leo Kottke

Yngvie Malmsteen

Gary Moore

Steve Morse

Joe Pass

John Renbourn

Louie Shelton

Tommy Tedesco

Robin Trower

Bert Weedon

John Williams

If I left anyone off, include those names in the comments.

Update (11/12/2023): Just discovered Doyle Dykes and he was another omission from the Rolling Stone list. Because I’ve hit the 30 photo cap, he gets an acknowledgment here.

Subway Sandwiches: A $5B Gift?

Subway Cofounder May Make One of the Largest Donations in History

Subway cofounder Peter Buck donated 50% of the sandwich chain to charity in his will, according to his family. Peter Buck was a nuclear physicist working for United Nuclear when he put up $1000 in 1965 for his friend Fred DeLuca to open a sandwich shop. “Pete’s Super Submarines” became “Pete’s Subway,” and by 1973, it was “Subway Sandwiches” with a new logo, 16 locations, and franchises beginning…

In Europe, Pringles has 34 active flavours in seven can sizes (one of which is called “David” for reasons no one can explain). Not all of these flavours are available in every European country – prawn cocktail only really sells in the UK and Ireland, while bacon is found in most places except Belgium, the Netherlands and strongholds of vegetarianism Austria, Denmark and Sweden. Salt and vinegar has spread everywhere except Norway and Italy. “They don’t have the habit of doing vinegar on their crisps; they just eat them plain with salt,” says Julie Merzougui, lead food designer at Kellanova. If an employee in Italy wanted to explore bringing salt and vinegar to the market, they could – they’d simply have to ask. As of yet, they haven’t.

Multiple times a year, Pringles releases limited-edition flavours known internally as “insanely accurate analogues” – Merzougui and Peremans come up with these for Europe. “People think we have the dream job,” Merzougui says (she has dark hair, round glasses and an easy laugh, a personality akin to an experimental flavour – perhaps a chorizo Pringle). Peremans, who has worked at the company for 26 years, has a salt and pepper beard and a Salt & Shake personality. He speaks quietly and pragmatically, but has a subtle playful streak: “My young son, he wants to become my successor.”

Like Lay’s, Pringles starts with data – in Asia, the company uses a Tinder-like tool with 200 consumers at a time, asking them to swipe left or right on potential flavours. Lucia Sudjalim, a senior Pringles developer in Asia, says she does a lot of “social media listening”, observing trends among influencers and bloggers. Kellanova also uses AI, which Merzougui says can predict trends up to 10 years in advance. Things aren’t always this sophisticated though – both Lay’s and Pringles also look at what’s on the shelves in countries they want to break into, copying flavours and identifying gaps to fill.

Yet just because the world wants a flavour doesn’t mean it’s made. In December 2020, scotch egg sales soared in the UK after Conservative ministers ruled the snack a “substantial meal” (providing punters with an excuse to be in the pub under Covid-19 lockdown rules). Peremans was challenged to make scotch egg Pringles and pulled it off; Merzougui says they tasted “really authentic”. Ultimately, however, the potential order volume was not high enough to justify a production run. (This, incidentally, is why it’s hard to get Salt & Pepper Pringles in the UK, even though they’re delicious.)

Another unreleased flavour was part of a collaboration with Nando’s that petered out for reasons Peremans is unsure about. Sometimes, logistics get in the way: the perfectly blended seasoning might clog the machines or create too much dust, causing sneezing fits in the factory. Belgian legislation mandates that every seasoning has to be put through a dust explosion test – it is set alight in controlled conditions to ensure it won’t blow up.

Inside the plant, manager Van Batenburg shows me giant cube-shaped bags of seasonings that arrive ready to be cascaded on to the crisps. At the end of his video presentation, he made a passing comment that rocked my world. We were talking about other crisp companies, big name competitors. “In essence,” he said, “they’re using the same seasoning houses we do.”

I leave Belgium with the names of three seasoning houses Pringles work with. At home, I discover that their websites are obscure – they speak of flavours and trends, but don’t even mention Pringles. I haven’t so much stumbled upon a conspiracy as been invited into it, but I am still shocked. After two months’ cajoling by the Pringles team, two representatives from a seasoning house agree to speak – but only on the condition of total anonymity, in line with their contractual obligations.

“It’s quite secretive,” food scientist Reuben admits via Zoom, wearing a pink shirt and a thoughtful expression (the only crisp I can compare him to is a Quaver). “Everyone has their own crown jewels that they protect.”

As a marketer, Peggy has always found the company’s secrecy “strange”. She speaks clearly, in a way that is reminiscent of a teacher or a steadfast multigrain snack. “It’s always been a bit of a puzzle to me … I was like, ‘Why aren’t we shouting about this?’ But I was told, ‘Oh, no, we have to keep it very quiet.’”

This is because – just as Van Batenburg hinted in Belgium – the seasoning house Reuben and Peggy work for provides flavours for Pringles and Lay’s, as well as other brands. When asked whether their clients know, Reuben says, “They do and they don’t.” “It’s just not really talked about,” Peggy adds. However, this doesn’t mean that a Salt & Vinegar Pringle is flavoured with the same seasoning as a Salt & Vinegar Lay’s. In fact, the seasoning house is strictly siloed to guarantee exclusivity. Reuben’s team work on the Pringles account; the team making flavours for PepsiCo is in an entirely different country. “So the recipe, if you will, of the Pringles salt and vinegar can’t be seen by the other team,” Reuben says.

Furby (1998) by David Hampton, Caleb Chung, and Richard C. Levy. “The Furby was in part inspired by an earlier ‘90s-era electronic pet: The Tamagotchi. In early 1997, Hampton and Chung saw the Tamagotchi in action for the first time at the annual Toy Fair trade show in New York — and while there was no denying how cool the idea was, one big issue Hampton spotted with the Tamagotchi according to the New York Times profile was the fact that you couldn’t pet it. So he and Chung set out to design an electronic companion you could pet. The working name for the toy was “Furball.” It spoke in a mishmash of the languages Hampton had picked up while he was in the Navy. … When it came time to license the concept, Hampton and Chung brought aboard Richard C. Levy. … Levy was a natural fit for the Furby project; it was thanks to his efforts that the trio struck a licensing deal with Tiger Electronics in 1997. … Not too long after that, Tiger was acquired by Hasbro, who gave the team resources they had only been able to dream about before in order to develop the product; and then, in October 1998, Furby made its public debut at New York’s fabled FAO Schwarz toy store. The store had 35,000 Furbies backordered by the end of the week. To say Furby was a hit is putting it incredibly mildly.” – Here's How That Furby Craze In The '90s REALLY Began — And Why They Still Give You Nightmares, by Lucia Peters.
